Guy Ritchie to relinquish claim to Madonna's fortune?

21 Nov 2008 

GUY RITCHIE is reportedly set to relinquish any rights to MADONNA's fortune as part of their divorce deal - in a bid to win access to the couple's children.
 
The couple announced their separation last month (Oct08) and are currently in the middle of legal proceedings to make the break-up official.
 
The pop superstar is rumoured to be planning to leave England and return to her native U.S. with their children - eight-year-old son Rocco, adopted tot David Banda, three, and Madonna's 12-year-old daughter, Lourdes, from a previous relationship.
 
But Ritchie is said to be keen to see his young family remain in Britain.  Now the estranged pair is said to have reached a compromise in the ongoing custody battle - meaning Ritchie will walk away from the eight-year marriage without a financial settlement, according to London newspaper The Evening Standard.
 
A source tells the publication, "It will all be over by the end of the month. I am sure it will be announced by then. The priority for him has always been the children. Ritchie has not wanted any of her money. Ritchie could have taken her to the cleaners. It takes a very honourable man to have walked away. "
