As the Golden Globe Award-winning actor faces an expensive divorce from estranged wife Carey Lowell, Richard Gere's net worth has become newsworthy: can he meet up his ex's demands when it's time to hit the courts?

According to First Post, the divorce of the "Pretty Woman" actor isn't about to be among the smoothest in Hollywood, as it seems that Carey Lowell is going all out for a good piece of Richard Gere's net worth in the midst of the proceedings, say different sources close to the couple.

Apparently, Lowell and Gere greatly differ in the way they want to settle the end of their marriage, after they announced their separation at the end of 2013. Richard Gere's net worth is reportedly much higher than that of his estranged wife, which accounts for the fact that she's searching for higher compensation for their 11 year long marriage.

According to Design Trend, Richard Gere's net worth varies significantly from the one specialized websites list him as having, but in any case, Lowell seems to be demanding $100 million from his total worth, a request which is reportedly not going well for the actor famous for roles in films such as "An Officer and a Gentleman" and the 2002 musical "Chicago."

While the divorce proceedings still haven't reached the discussions regarding money, the website for the Indian Express has reported that Lowell's lawyer, Robert Cohen, has stated that his client definitely wants her "fair share of the marital assets," which include a North Haven bay front house at The Hamptons, which is currently on the market for $47.5 million.

Different repots state that Gere earned 82 million in 2013 alone, which obviously wildly increased his total worth. Currently, Richard Gere's net worth is listed as being a total of $100 million in Celebrity Net Worth, but reports from news outlets such as Zee News have his wealth listed as $250 million.
