Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey were the picture-perfect couple back when they were on MTV's "Newlyweds." Their split saddened many back in 2006, and they never got back in good terms. Recent reports now say that Lachey is "declaring war" on the singer/fashion designer after she made remarks about their relationship.
Radar Online reports that Simpson claimed that her marriage with the 98 Degrees singer was the "biggest financial mistake" she has ever committed. She gave such bold statements right after she rang the bell at the New York Stock Exchange. An insider shared to the source that Simpson actually gave Lachey a staggering $12 million during divorce settlements, and that was exactly the "mistake" on her end.
The couple didn't sign a pre-nuptial agreement, thanks to Jessica's dad Joe. At that time, he reportedly believed that Lachey was the more bankable star than her daughter. The insider also said that the divorce payout might be even more than what he has earned during his career as a singer.
Jessica Simpson has transformed herself from just a teenybopper singer to owner of a billion-dollar fashion empire. The businesswoman's net worth is now at $150 million, and it's definitely not just from her album sales! The Inquisitr reports that she has fully established herself as a brand, a task that not all can find success in. Simpson reportedly has a good understanding of what her market wants, and she has always kept her word on making every woman feel confident and good in the products that she sells.
The Jessica Simpson empire has no signs of slowing down as Forbes reports that her brand consistently manages to outsell other known fashion brands. Now what's next for the powerwoman? She reportedly candidly told the source that "people will be sleeping on my bedspreads!" A home line as well as infant's wear are just some of the possible ventures her brand might get on.
