When they finally divorced last summer details of a financial settlement were not disclosed.
But Sean Penn has revealed that he had to split his fortune with his former wife Robin Wright right down the middle.
During an interview with The Hollywood reporter, the 50-year-old actor disclosed details of the financial settlement with Robin.
He said: ‘I had just got taken for one half of everything I had in the divorce, so it’s not like I don’t have to work.’
The Academy Award winner was discussing his charity work in Haiti when he made the revelations and said that the divorce hit him harder than moving to the disaster zone.
He professed: ‘A much more profound change in life for me personally was not being able to raise my son in a whole family through high school.’
