The ex-wife of an oil magnate plans to appeal a divorce settlement that awarded her nearly $1bn (£640m). Harold Hamm's ex-wife says the settlement, one of the largest in history, is too low given her role in the family and business.
One of her lawyers, Ron Barber, said Mrs Hamm believes the decision was "not equitable" and plans to appeal within a few weeks.
The divorce already ranks as one of the most expensive in history.
But the woman's award was a small fraction of what Mr Hamm was allowed to keep - around 94% of the estimated $18bn rise in his Continental shares during the marriage. The lawyer for Mr Hamm said after the settlement that the CEO considered it "fair and equitable".
