Marriage is meant to be a lifelong commitment, “till death do us part”, but sometimes marriage doesn’t work hence divorce. From lack of commitment, infidelity, conflict/arguing, domestic violence, substance abuse, to financial stress, there are many reasons why a marriage might not work as intended to. Extreme wealth doesn’t shield people from relationship breakdowns. Many successful people who have amassed great wealth – millionaires and billionaires – still wind up ending their marriages. Relationships end for all sorts of reasons that have more to do with our humanity than our wallets.
