What started as an adorable love story ended in a pretty expensive divorce. Amy was a young and aspiring actress and Steven had just directed his first blockbuster film. Their marriage only lasted from 1984-1989.
Unfortunately for Spielberg, the judge deemed their prenup invalid as it had been written on a napkin. However, the director of some of the highest-grossing films of all time can afford the settlement as costly as it is.

Dr. Phil McGraw is an author, psychologist, and host of the talk show Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil first found success when he appeared weekly on the Oprah Winfrey show as a relationship and life strategy expert. He then proceeded to produce 4 top-selling books on life and relationships. He married his first wife ex-cheerleader and homecoming queen Debbie Higgins McCall when he was only 20 years old, long before his fame began.
Their marriage lasted only three years from 1970 to 1973 and Higgins has since stated that McGraw was domineering in the relationship. Dr. Phil has been remarried to Robin McGraw now for over 30 years, so perhaps the psychologist sought therapy of his own following his first divorce.
