I have a friend who’s been married multiple times. He’s of the opinion that he should have saved time, drama, and legal fees by skipping the marriage and finding a woman he hated and giving her 1/2 of everything he owned.

It really depends on the length of the marriage. If she helped him build it by attending to the life, the household, the children for decades while he attended to getting rich, she should get half of the increase in value since the date of the marriage. If they got married two years ago with no prenup, he is an idiot.
