Former UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya has allegedly secured a $500,000 payout following a legal dispute with his ex-girlfriend, Charlotte Powdrell.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Powdrell had reportedly taken Adesanya to court in pursuit of a share of his wealth, which is estimated to be around $15 million, accumulated through his successful MMA career.
However, court proceedings revealed an unexpected financial arrangement.
Adesanya’s Assets Reportedly Managed by His Mother
According to sources, Adesanya’s mother, Taiwo Adesanya, has been responsible for overseeing his finances throughout his career. Due to this setup, his legal net worth has reportedly been recorded as “zero,” which played a crucial role in the court’s decision.
Powdrell Ordered to Pay Instead
Rather than receiving a portion of Adesanya’s assets, Powdrell was allegedly ordered to pay him $500,000.
The decision reportedly stemmed from a court ruling that required her to split her own assets, believed to be worth around $1 million, with the fighter.
This case has drawn comparisons to Moroccan footballer Achraf Hakimi, who safeguarded his assets by placing them under his mother’s name, thereby preventing financial claims from his ex-wife.
The so-called “Harkimized” strategy has sparked debates on social media about its legal and ethical implications in high-profile relationships.
Questions Surround the Case
Despite online speculation, legal experts have raised concerns about the feasibility of such a ruling.
They question how a court could mandate a payout to someone with no documented assets, particularly when the couple was neither married nor had children.
While official records confirm an ongoing financial dispute between Adesanya and Powdrell, the specifics of the reported ruling remain unverified.
Independent financial analysts still estimate Adesanya’s net worth in the millions, considering his UFC earnings, sponsorship deals, and investments.
As of now, neither Adesanya, Powdrell, nor the UFC have publicly commented on the situation, leaving many details unresolved.
