McCourt Apologizes For ‘Embarrassment’ Of Owning Seven Homes

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — A very public and drawn-out divorce battle between Frank and Jamie McCourt may not only force the estranged couple to sell the Dodgers, but also underscores the lavish lifestyle choices of perhaps the city’s most infamous couple.

As the McCourts continue to dispute the ownership of the team in court, a judge’s decision to divide their assets may leave the future of the L.A. Marathon in doubt after it was acquired by Frank nearly three years ago.

In addition to their business holdings, the couple also owns seven homes, a fact that Frank recently bemoaned publicly.

“I’m sorry of certain lifestyle decisions that I’ve made, I’m sorry that I’ve been a source of embarrassment,” said McCourt.

Jamie McCourt claims the couple’s joint worth is an estimated $1.2 billion, most of which is tied up in property holdings.

I’m sure he’s sorry he spent the money on real estate, instead of socking it away in untraceable offshore accounts.

Take 10 mil and give her the rest. Go spend the rest of your days at south padre island, fishing and eating shrimp and oysters.

While deal with the stress?

Indeed, that’s a perfectly brilliant suggestion. Let her have it all, except for a comfortable retirement cushion. Move to Anguilla ... fish and relax and sleep in a sand-floored shack.

I read both Angela’s Ashes and ‘Tis - for a guy who came from dirt poverty in Ireland, this is disappointing news.
