The wife of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich has filed for a divorce eyeing half of the mogul's fortune, News of the World has reported.

The newspaper that first caught Abramovich with his young mistress Daria Zhokova, now says that wife Irina may be looking at some BGP 5.5 B from the divorce.

Despite Abramovich's attempt to stop the leak on his affair, the courts didn't grant him an injunction, giving his wife the perfect weapon to landing the highest sum in divorce history. The top UK divorce lawyers from Sears Tooth Irina has hired are happily rubbing hands, calculating all the yachts, houses and assets that have to be split now.

There are rumors that Abramovich may not want all his estate listed in court and may try to settle with his wife outside of court. There is no telling what will happen with the ownership of Abramovicc's multi-million pound squad Chelsea, who are to play yet another game against Bulgaria's Levski for the UEFA Champions League.
