Kate Vince has been awarded £40 million after a court ruling, highlighting the complexities of their divorce and financial disputes.
Kate’s lawyers argued that Dale was giving away their shared wealth, including a hefty sum to the Labour Party. Dale, on the other hand, claimed his donations were just part of his business growth and had nothing to do with the divorce.
The judge decided that Dale could pay Kate in three installments, totaling over £43 million. The first chunk is due by April 2025. After all is said and done, Kate will end up with about £45 million.
Dale wasn’t too happy about the ruling. He said Kate’s case lacked merit and that she walked away with less than he initially offered. He also shared his thoughts on marriage, saying he doesn’t really believe in it.
Kate’s lawyer expressed gratitude for the fair ruling, emphasizing her contributions during their marriage. They had a complicated relationship, with claims of separation but also continued intimacy.
Dale had been giving away money to various causes, which Kate’s team called reckless. He defended his donations, saying he wanted to support the Labour Party. The judge noted that these donations seemed timed with political events.
In the end, the judge ruled that half of the business’s value during their marriage should go to Kate. It’s a significant outcome for both parties, reflecting the complexities of their relationship and finances.
