Comedian Chris Rock’s estranged wife Malaak Compton-Rock, who he separated from in 2014 is demanding a huge chunk of his $70million fortune and she just may get it because their pre-nup has expired.
According to NYT’s PageSix, Malaak is asking for half his fortune so she can maintain a Champagne -and-caviar lifestyle, a copy of her divorce papers reveals.
Malaak said she gave up her career in 1996 to become a full time stay-at-home mum after she met and married the actor, court papers say. She says since she gave up her career to take care of the home while his career blossomed, she deserved half the fortune he made in those years.

Malaak Compton-Rock is demanding a huge hunk of her husband’s $70 million fortune so she can maintain a Champagne-and-caviar lifestyle, a copy of her divorce papers reveals.
The stay-at-home mom married the ex-“Saturday Night Live” star in 1996 after they met at the Essence Awards while she was working in public relations.
She soon gave up her career and became a full-time mother, court papers say.
Compton-Rock, 46, now spends much of her time caring for the couple’s kids — Lola Simone, 13, and Zahra Savannah, 11 — in their posh home in Alpine, NJ, where their neighbors include singer Mary J. Blige and Yankee pitcher CC Sabathia.
Both parties agree their prenup has expired under a sunset clause, meaning they could face a battle over the eight-figure family bank account, a filing in Bergen County court shows.
The papers also say she and Rock, 50, have already agreed to 50-50 child custody.
Compton-Rock spends her free time on the charity circuit. She runs a group called The Angel Rock Project and in 2008 appeared as a judge on the ABC reality show “Oprah’s Big Give,” where she clinked Champagne glasses with actress Vivica A. Fox and “Sopranos” star Lorraine Bracco.
The court filings say Compton-Rock deserves a payout “commensurate with the marital standard of living” because of all her child-rearing and charitable endeavors.
You share EVERYTHING in a marriage. Meaning that half of the $70million fortuneis hers
