Dwyane Wade earned $196 million in the NBA. At home, Gabrielle Union pays half the bills. And she insisted on a prenup. It started with one sentence. Wade says they were arguing in Miami and he called it "my house that I paid for." She told him he would never say that to her again. In L.A., she paid half of the new home. "You will never say my house again." In May 2023, Union said it on a Bloomberg podcast: "in this household, we split everything 50/50." Wade says it covers about three things, like the house. Everything else, each pays their own. They married in 2014, and in her memoir she wrote that she "got taken to the cleaners" in her first marriage. The case for 50/50: she earns her own money, she already paid for one divorce, and nobody gets to call the home "mine." The case against: he made $196 million, a marriage is not a business deal, and splitting bills with someone who earns more keeps the gap. In the video below, Wade explains how 50/50 works in their house. If your partner earns far more than you, should you still split the bills 50/50?
