When I think of guys who might make a $100 million divorce payout, Morgan Freeman isn’t the first guy who comes to mind. But apparently, he should be.

Sounds like Morgan Freeman’s divorce from his wife, Myrna Colley-Lee, will be both nasty and expensive for the Oscar winner.

Though there’s no comment from either party in this breakup, Freeman’s wife of 24 years stands to rake in more than $100 million in a potential settlement.

Original estimates put the actor’s net worth in the $75 million to $90 million range, but now it is being reported he may be worth as much as three to four times that amount.

Among assets contributing to the actor’s bounty are a very valuable gold coin collection, a rare stamp collection, a $7 million home in the Virgin Islands, real estate in Freeman’s native Mississippi worth nearly $30 million (including a $5 million personal home), a $10 million New York apartment and a $15 million Los Angeles estate.

”Morgan has always remembered what it was like to be a poor, struggling actor, and as a result he has always been very careful with his money. Morgan isn’t cheap, but he has always been pretty frugal,” a longtime associate told me Tuesday.

I’ve always thought Morgan Freeman was a fairly overrated actor. How many stately older black men are there on Earth that he can seemingly play the same one in every f’ing movie he’s ever done? And now, to make matters worse, he’s apparently been paid in the form of millions of gold bars and garbage bags of cocaine. What the f, how is that fair? Every time I act like an old-timey black guy, I get nothing other than a session with a racial sensitivity counselor and disgusted looks from my coworker Jacquitonda.
