A look at Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello's $100M prenup
When they tied the knot in 2015, soon-to-be exes and Joe Manganiello reportedly signed a $100 million prenup to protect their multi-million dollar fortunes.
The Modern Family actress, 50, is said to have a whopping $180million , while the Magic Mike hunk, 46, comes in second at a reported $40million.
Though much has been hidden from the public, Sofia has made it clear over the years that she and her now-estranged husband have kept their finances separate — seemingly ensuring them a clean split.
She also previously dished that Joe had no issue with a prenuptial agreement, telling in 2015: ‘He said, ‘Do whatever you want.I’ll sign whatever you want.”
And now, with news that after nearly eight years of marriage, DailyMail.com is taking a look at just what that ‘iron-clad’ prenup protects and what may still be up in the air…

Who will get custody of Bubbles?
Despite having no children together, it’s been speculated that the couple may battle it out over their shared Chihuahua, Bubbles.
The pair have famously argued over the 10-year-old pooch on social media, often joking that Bubbles likes Joe more.
According to California law, a judge can weigh in on who should get pets in a divorce.
In January 2019, a new California law changed the way pet custody is handled in divorce cases.
This new law gives judges the power to consider the care and the best interest of the pet when making decisions in separation or divorce matters.

The pair have famously argued over the 10-year-old pooch on social media, often joking that Bubbles likes Joe more
Before 2019, California courts treated pets like property. The pet would be considered a part of the property to be divided when the marriage ended.
Often judges would base their decision on which party purchased or adopted the animal. Judges had a lot of say in who got the dog and who would just visit.
Pets are still technically classified as personal property, but this new law takes more into consideration.
There is an Animal Legal Defense Fund that can guide Sofia and Joe on animal protection laws.

He theorized that Sofia and Joe’s prenup ‘probably had what is called a walkaway.’

‘So with a prenup — and without kids [together] — it becomes a much simpler case.’

Siegel told the outlet that he believes Sofia and Joe are probably ‘at a more advanced stage [in their divorce] than people would think.’
He believes this because ‘usually when people make the announcement like they made yesterday, they’ve already done some of the preliminary work.
Siegel also stated that the split doesn’t appear ‘messy’ and that the pair ‘recognize the fact that if it’s a bad divorce, their careers can be put in jeopardy.
‘It really doesn’t serve anybody.They’ve got very nice careers. They don’t want to be airing their dirty laundry in public.’
