PICK OF THE DAY
MILLIONAIRES’ EX-WIVES CLUB, 9PM, BBC2
‘I’D RATHER have money and be sad than no money and be sad.’ London is the divorce capital of the world, where super-rich couples fight over fortunes when love goes sour. After nine years of marriage to businessman Vivian Imerman, Lisa Tchenguiz (pictured right) used her independent wealth to fund her divorce. She wanted a 50-50 split of their assets — £120 million. When he offered £2 million, she stood her ground. Michelle Young, meanwhile, has clocked up 65 hearings in her case against ex-husband Scot and was awarded £26 million, but has yet to receive a penny. Lisa and Michelle are featured in this gripping documentary in which film-maker Lynn Alleway explores the dynamics of high-stakes divorce cases.
