If his attorneys exposed him to liability in excess of $50 million in a prenup, then his attorneys are incompetent. Believe me, his attorneys aren't incompetent.
One article stated the pre-nup am’t. to be $300 mil.
In fact, I’m sure they are domiciled here. Florida constitutionally prohibits a state income tax. In CA, it’s huge.
