Richard Gere's net worth could end up being cut in half if things will go too well for his soon-to-be legitimate ex-wife Carey Lowell.

According to PageSix, the actor's wealth, which is believed to be over $250 million all-in-all, is bound to suffer a major loss when things will go his estranged wife's way.

This is because Lowell has demanded for over $100 million dollars from Richard Gere's net worth.

"They are not getting along and they are very far apart on how much money she will get in their divorce," a source gushed on the reason why the former couple are trying their best to end everything at a legitimate level.

And the reason why Lowell is now demanding $100 million from Gere? "She can claim she gave up her career for him and for their [14-year-old] son Homer, and that she deserves half of all his earnings since they got married in 2002," the source noted.

But this is actually true for Lowell, who stopped her career for the sake of their marriage. The 53-year-old former model is known for being a Bond girl and a "Law & Order" actress. "But she certainly wants her fair share of the marital assets."

"Nobody has asked for anything yet," Lowell's lawyer Robert Cohen said.

While the Richest lists Gere's wealth at $100 million, many sources claim that his real wealth is actually more than twice from his mother.

Richard Gere's net worth began to flourish when he made a mark by portraying the hit "American Gigolo" in 1980.

In 2013 alone, Gere earned $82 million. Interestingly, his bayfront property in North Haven in the Hamptons is currently on sale for $47.5 million.

Lowell filed for divorce back in June. This is her third marriage already and she has a daughter named Hannah, who is now 24, with her second husband Griffin Dunne, reports First Post.

In a recent event, the "Pretty Woman" star gushed about undergoing divorce.

"What probably really helped was I was right in the middle of a divorce, so the emotions were right on the surface." he said.

An insider close the couple said that though the two have decided to part ways, they have agreed that "they would be better as friends."
