Katy Perry has been in the public eye for quite some time, and while she may be focused on being a first-time mom with fiancée, Orlando Bloom, her life wasn't always sunshine and rainbows. The "California Girls" singer married British comedian, Russell Brand back in 2010, however, despite the duo appearing to be the picture-perfect couple, things turned sour quite fast!

Only two years after saying their "I do's", Russell filed for divorce and left Katy completely heartbroken. Not only was their marriage over, but the duo had not signed a prenup. Considering Katy Perry had made nearly $44 million during her time with Russell, that leaves him with 50% of her assets, but did he take it? Let's find out!

No Prenup, No Problem

Katy Perry is currently celebrating being a first-time mother, which happened only weeks after the "I Kissed A Gir" singer released her newest album, "Smile". Katy, who debuted back in 2008, skyrocketed to international fame and success, and by 2010, after the singer had released her "Teenage Dream", album, she was all anyone could talk about! It was during this time that Katy began dating British comedian and actor, Russell Brand. Russell has proposed to Katy in January 2010 and the two were married on October 23, 2010.

Despite Katy Perry having been at the height of her career at the time, it would only make sense for the singer to have signed a prenup, however, that wasn't the case. Russell and Katy's relationship turned sour faster than anticipated, and after 14 months of marriage, the two had split. While the divorce was by no means easy, Russel Brand could have made things much worse! Although Katy earned a whopping $44 million during their time together, Russell, who was legally allowed to 50% of that, decided to walk away with nothing!

The comedian pledged to keep the divorce as "amicable as possible", and that included not taking any of the money Katy Perry earned during the time they spent married. Russell Brand, who is currently worth an impressive $20 million, could have doubled his net worth had he walked away with the $22 million he was legally allowed to. Despite the laws put into place, Russell was adamant about not touching any of Katy's money, which fans thought to be quite a mature and thoughtful act.

The duo seemingly fell out of love in 2012 and Katy Perry definitely took it the hardest. Not only was Katy 25-years-old when she got married, but Russell was 10 years older than the singer, which certainly played a role in the couple's split. While marriage definitely takes a lot of work, sometimes it just doesn't play out the way you expected. While Katy and Russell may have taken a hit throughout the divorce, the two have since moved on from one another and are doing their own thing!
