My friend’s ex wife hired a forensic accountant to go over his assets and such. He was the most straight forward kind of guy, strict W2, no offshore accts and all. The only thing he had that was hard to value was his stock options from a start up we were both at. He has had it for so long and no one really knew how much they were worth. His ex wife had an inheritance that she wanted to keep, but would most likely be split between them. He asked me what he should do with the options. I told him to keep it in exchange for her inheritance. 6 months after the divorce was final, the company was sold for 1 billion and his options were worth close to 7 figures. He still thanks me. I was very happy for him because his ex literally made his life miserable and tried to get everything she could.
