Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher 'locked in bitter divorce battle over fortune'

Ashton Kutcher's divorce from Demi Moore has reportedly turned nasty. The estranged couple separated last November after six years of marriage following the Two And A Half Men star's affair with 22-year-old San Diego-based administrative assistant Sara Leal.

 They are now said to be locked in a bitter battle over their enormous fortune. A source told the New York Post: '(They) are trying to negotiate a settlement out of court and out of the public eye. 

They still haven't reached an agreement over money, because Ashton earned substantially more during the final years of their marriage, but he doesn't want to pay a large settlement.' 

The 34-year-old actor - who is currently the highest paid star on TV and earns £440,000 per episode and is estimated to have banked £15 million since taking over the sitcom from Charlie Sheen - is worth £87 million, while Demi is worth £94 million.
