Every woman I know would have cashed that sucker faster than green grass through a goose.

You are down right stupid if you turn down anything the world is trying to throw into your lap. It doesn't happen often

That was pretty impressive you guys lol

Her lawyers are idiots.

Put the check in an escrow account, don't touch a penny, and let the interest be donated to charity until settlement is reached.

CLR stock was trading at $80.65 on 8/29/14 and is now at $33.70. She may regret holding out for a few more billion.

How nauseating would it be to have to write a check for a billion bucks to someone that hates your guts?

Give me $13bill and I'll let you know.

Her ex's lawyers are laughing their asses off. I'm sure they told him that she likely will refuse to cash and then they will go public with the check making her look ridiculous. If she did cash the check, then it strengthens their appeal case.

Unbelievable that a person thinks they need more than a billion to live off of.

God, people make me sick.

That is one way to look at it, another way would be how nice it would be to be able to write a check for a billion dollars and it not bounce.

She obviously deserves more since she helped earn it.

Where has Ras been lately?

Most likely had a heart attack when he read some woman turned down a $974.8 million cash settlement.

Good grief, that would be hard to not cash.

She should be lucky it was not written like this:

Assuming this is legal, it's brilliant!

It's crazy that much $$ is in one account.

I've held a check for $10 million and processed two wires for $45 million.

Also saw a Margin Call for $60 million in 2008. SPY iron condor went the wrong way for some heir of a major corp

Looks like she finally decided she could get by on that much and made the deposit.

It will be a struggle but if she is frugal she should be okay after all a billion dollars only goes so far.
