### Comment:
I'm not sure it was. Supporting someone who says they want to start a book sales company from your garage IS contribution, and maintaining support for years to anyone rising in their career is the reason that alimony is a thing- so you can't marry someone, go through med school and become a millionaire with them helping you through all of it around the house and with your kids etc, then divorcing and just giving them nothing for all that they put into your career.

### REPLY:
I'm seeing two issues: 
  
 1. The dude said that 'she really deserves it' in reply to 'she's the richest woman in the world', perhaps implying she deserves being richer than all other women. That's a kinda weird statement. 
  
 2. You're implying that there's only two alternatives: either she gets half his money, or she gets none. However, there is a middle-ground between those as well.
