OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports that Charlotte Powdrell, ex-girlfriend of UFC star Israel Mobolaji Adesanya, allegedly broke down in tears after legal battle over Adesanya's wealth resulted in her paying him half of her fortune, $500,000.

OTN News further reports that Powdrell, who dated Adesanya for a year, reportedly took him to court after their breakup, demanding half of his estimated $15 million fortune.

She argued that he ought to have married her, and that their long-term relationship meant he was obligated to provide financial support to her.

However, after over a year of legal proceedings, the court ruled in her favour ordering an equal split of Adesanya’s wealth.

But in a shocking twist, it was discovered that Adesanya’s official net worth was listed as $0.00, with no personal bank accounts in his name throughout his whole life.

It has been alleged that Israel Adesanya’s entire $15-million is being managed by his mother, Taiwo and she has been managing his finances since the start of his career.

As a result, the equal wealth split ended up working against Powdrell, who is reportedly worth $1 million.

Since Adesanya had no official assets, the court ordered her wealth to be divided between them – leaving her with $500,000 and the UFC fighter with that same amount.

The situation has however, sparked widespread reactions, with many questioning how Adesanya structured his finances.

OTN News observes that Neither Adesanya nor Powdrell has made any official statement regarding the ruling.

OTN News recalls that a similar case had earlier happened when, Hiba Abouk, a PSG and Moroccan Footballer Achraf Hakimi's wife filed for divorce and demanded half of Hakimi's property. 

She was however shocked by the court that her "Millionaire' husband owns nothing to his name as all his property is registered under his mother's names.

OTN News further recalls that Abouk had previously branded their marriage 'a failed project,' confirming her decision to divorce him while he was charged with the crime of rape in 2023.
