She said, “They've been together for two years, and whatever they have earned during those two years is community [property], which means that it will be equally divided if they earned anything,” as reported by People. Chinitz admitted it is “extremely unusual” for high-wealth individuals to not have a prenup as it secures their wealth during splits. She said, “The only time that you see people not having a prenup is when they've put most of their assets in trust for their children, and those trusts have been established and they wouldn't be part of the community.
