Matt Lauer Pays Wife $20 Million!

That's it? Isn't that like what he made a year at Today?

Wow, she went quietly. I wonder why her lawyer let her settle for so little?

She is getting half his property value, IN ADDITION to 20 million. That necklace is a crime, for which she deserves a hefty fine.

What a fucked up country we live in that such a useless douchebag like Lauer made so much money.

Good point, r1. "Matt Lauer Made at Least $100 Million Before NBC Fired Him."

Before he got the Today Show, he was so broke that he was cutting Christmas Trees to make ends meet

Boy he has come a long way

"......Matt Lauer, depending on which unverified report one chooses to believe as if it were passed along in a personal memo from NBC News Chairman Andy Lack, could have been pulling down anywhere from $20 million to $25 million during his last year hosting NBC’s “Today"

All the teleprompter readers on television are grossly overpaid

I swept her under the Matt

Lauer bought the estate from Richard Gere for $36.5 million in 2016 and used it as a bolthole immediately after he was sacked by NBC. The question remains — who will get the estate in the divorce — as they both love it and it’s Lauer’s “dream home.” It is set on a massive 6.3 acres on the peninsula of North Haven near Sag Harbor.

So far, Lauer has offloaded his Upper East Side apartment for more than its $7.35 million asking price.

He also has one of his Sag Harbor homes on the market for $12.75 million, a significant drop from the original asking price of $18 million.

He has a New Zealand farm, which he purchased for a reported $9.2 million in February 2017,

Isn't that blood money? The wife should donate the $20M to the female victims at NBC.

Given a chance for what? At his age? A chance to disappear, please.

I'm surprised Lauer was never sued especially by the woman he had sex with in his locked office, who passed out on the floor afterwards.

Corporation paid them millions?

That white object hanging around her neck is really awful, r3. Maybe her interior designer gifted it to her.

R3 is clearly from the DL Old School of Yesteryear!

Yasssss!

lol she really fucked him

Did I imagine him doing the intro for Madonna's Blonde Ambition special on MTV? I remember Madge spoke a little French during the performance. I know I've got that VHS tape around here somewhere!

OMG. that necklace looks like marshmalllows close up.

$20 mill' - Let's all shout "Hush Money" at the same time!

3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . GO!

She may have negotiated to live in the big estate which may explain why her payout was relatively "low."

Annette's necklace is made of sugar cubes. She wore it as she was expecting to meet up with Sarah Jessica Parker for a quick bite.

Now she can afford something better than a marshmallow necklace.

The necklace was designed to replicate sugar cubes. She wore it to the Hamptons Classic Horse Show.

Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E- becomes final today.

Somewhere Ann Curry is snickering.

Neil Diamond had to pay his second wife of 25 years, Marcia Murphey, a whopping $150 million dollars after their divorce.

Matt Lauer got lucky.

I think you're right, r28. Lauer got really lucky. But they've got some small kids to raise, so I suspect Annette will be getting decent alimony for a few years.

This is why men should never get married, gay or straight.

Reverse gay marriage, Supreme Court!

You mean child support, r29.

Yes, correct, r31.

According to Town and Country: "Matt is furious he is essentially handing over half of his net worth to Annette," a source told Us Weekly earlier this year. "He could fight for a better deal in court but that would only result in dragging this out longer and negative headlines.

At the time, the source also told the magazine, "Roque will receive the [family's] horse farm, their current residence and a one-time payment of $25 million."

He is ready to move on with his life and truly believes that a television comeback is possible."

Her necklace is a tad Wilma Flinstone

R33 is he going to reimburse the millions in quiet settlements his employer probably made for his piggy assaults.

The shameless cunt is telling his fans that he will be back on tv!!!!

Disgraced “Today” anchor Matt Lauer is telling supporters that he’ll be back on TV.

Sources told Page Six that Lauer — who was fired in November by NBC over sexual­ harassment accusations — was recently spotted at an old haunt of his, Donohue’s Steak House, telling fans that his return was imminent.

“A group of older ladies came over to Lauer, saying, ‘We miss you!’ ” a source told us.

The source said that Lauer told the fans, “I’ve been busy being a dad. But don’t worry, I’ll be back on TV.”

Reports have said that Lauer is hoping for a comeback.

He also apparently still has some supporters in broadcasting: Page Six reported in June that Lauer was seen at lunch with a former “Today” senior producer.

He’s increasingly been spotted in public on the Hamptons social scene, though many residents have called his look while out and about “incognito.”

In recent weeks, Lauer’s popped up at sceney East Hampton spot Serafina, at a Paddle for Pink charity event in Sag Harbor, and at the Hampton Classic on Sunday — where his daughter, Romy Lauer, has been known to compete.

Lauer’s estranged ex Annette Roque was also at the equestrian show and they interacted, although Lauer was there with another woman, who sources say is just a friend. see also Matt Lauer meets with supportive ‘Today’ show producer Matt Lauer meets with supportive ‘Today’ show producer

Said a spy: “He was with a mystery woman the whole time, beside him. Dark hair, late 40s to early 50s. They were chatting and she never left his side.”

But the source described their interaction as nothing but friendly.

The woman was also seen happily talking to Roque.

Our source said of Lauer, “He went in very low key, wearing a baseball cap and didn’t sit in VIP . . . He sat in regular seats in the stands.”

A rep declined to comment on who the woman with Lauer was, but did say that “any suggestion that he is dating someone is categorically false.”

Lauer’s been a regular for years at Upper East Side institution Donohue’s, near the Manhattan apartment he unloaded for $7 million earlier this year, we exclusively reported.

One percenters like Matt are such swine

Funny thread.

Money grubbing whore, why didn't she earn her own money?

R11 women are truly pathetic.

He’ll never make a comeback ...unless he does grandpa porn

$20 million just for lying on one’s back, sucking cock, and listening to a boring turd. The glory of fraudom.

She did well!

If this is true, Matt got a great deal. She could have gotten much more.

R14 that story is so confusing. Was there a reason she just didn't tell him no? Obviously she consented to some extent.

I could buy lots of anal hair trimmers with 25 million!

But did he press the button under his desk to lock the door so that she couldn't collect the $20 million?

The only way he’ll be back is if he creates his own YouTube Mukbang channel.
