"&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=\"Viktoria Chapman Cornelius\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/01/0201-don-cornelius-victorie-getty-ex.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don Cornelius&lt;/strong&gt; died with 2 life insurance policies worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the ex-wife he hated will get all the money ... TMZ has learned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don's breakup with Viktoria Chapman Cornelius was brutal. He was convicted of domestic abuse and, according to him, she pepper sprayed him multiple times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the divorce in 2009, Don said in legal docs obtained by TMZ, 'I am 72 years old. I have significant health issues. I want to finalize this divorce before I die.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The divorce was indeed finalized later that year, but there's a provision in the settlement agreement that says Don must make Viktoria the beneficiary of both of his life insurance policies -- totaling around $300,000 in benefits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under California law, if a policyholder commits suicide within 2 years of the time the policy is issued, the company can deny payment. But Don had the policy for more than 2 years, so Viktoria -- the woman he despised -- will get the loot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
