Olivier Martinez Net Worth: 'Dark Tide' Actor Felt 'Emasculated' By Halle Berry - Reason Behind Divorce? [PHOTOS]

It was just last week when Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez announced that they were getting a divorce after just two years of marriage. Now, sources are revealing what led to the split: Halle Berry's career.

According to People magazine, the source said that the couple's career gap was one of the factors that lead to the couple calling it quits. The source explains:

"Everything about her emasculated him: She was beautiful, iconic, employed and the breadwinner. [...] They were living off of her and that entitled him and it enraged him - there was a duality there."

While Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez were married, the 49-year-old "X-Men" actress became busy working on movies and TV series, while 49-year-old French actor struggled to land any roles in Hollywood.

In fact, Halle Berry starred in six films, in addition to a network TV series during those two years of wedded bliss. Meanwhile, Olivier Martinez only had guest roles on four TV shows.

It was in 2014 when Halle Berry closed a deal with CBS to star in the series, "Extant." Apparently, the Oscar-winning actress (for her role in "Monster's Ball" in 2002), was paid more than $100,000 per episode.

Turns out, Olivier Martinez wasn't on board with Halle Berry signing onto the show after giving birth to their son, Maceo-Robert, who was born on October 5, 2013. A source tells People months before their split:

"Olivier is complaining that he and Halle are not spending much time together and that she is working too much. [...] He never wanted her to sign on for ["Extant"] and Olivier was hoping they would focus on family time together after Maceo was born."

As Martinez struggles to find his career in Hollywood, the source revealed that Halle Berry's successful career made the "Unfaithful" actor feel threatened: "[Martinez] is not happy in the U.S. and he's not happy with the state of his career. [...] He's not happy she's the breadwinner."

Olivier Martinez net worth is $20 million. Meanwhile, Halle Berry net worth is $80 million.
