Katie Holmes has filed for divorce from Tom Cruise—who she wed in November 2006—and as she had signed a pre-nuptial agreement before they tied the knot, she is unable to seek half his rumored $275 million fortune. Instead, she will reportedly be paid $15 million for the five-year union as well as being given their $35 million Beverly Hills mansion.

Katie Holmes will receive $3 million for every year she was married to Tom Cruise.

The 33-year-old actress has filed for divorce from the 49-year-old actor—who she wed in November 2006—and as she had signed a pre-nuptial agreement before they tied the knot, she is unable to seek half his rumored $275 million fortune.

Instead, she will reportedly be paid $15 million for the five-year union as well as being given their $35 million Beverly Hills mansion.

However, Katie—who cited ''irreconcilable differences'' as the reason behind their split—is seeking sole custody of the couple's six-year-old daughter, Suri, and experts believe she will get a huge amount of child support from Tom.

Top divorce attorney Vikki Ziegler told Hollywoodlife.com: ''Most of the estate is Tom's. She'll have to go for a lot of child support. She'll have to show that Suri has nannies, cars, activities, clothes, hair appointments. That a hefty amount each month is needed to maintain Suri's lifestyle.''

Once the divorce is finalized, both Katie and Tom will keep their respective earnings from the projects they've worked on since November 2006.

As well as the Beverly Hills mansion, the former couple also have homes in New York, Colorado, Italy and England.

Since they did not stay married for 11 years, the pre-nuptial agreement states California community property laws won't apply to the divorce—which normally sees a couple's assets split 50/50.

Following the news Katie was filing for divorce, Tom—who has two children, Isabella, 19, and 17-year-old Connor with ex-wife Nicole Kidman—said he was ''deeply saddened'' by it.

Sources claim Katie had given no indication to Tom—who was also married to actress Mimi Rogers—she was going to do it.

    UNDERPAID. Napakaliit naman ng financial reward ni Katie Holmes sa kanyang annulment. BARYA lang yung kumpara sa naging kapalit na pagtigil sa kung ano mang personal issue mayroon si Tom Cruise before.

    yep, you're right, she was no A-lister before she met Tom Cruise, she had her following though a far cry from her status right now, there's a rumor going on that their marriage is a really just a sham and everything's been pre-arranged, anyway, whatever the truth is, being married to him changed her, not for the better, she just lost her spark.

    That's a small amount considering how rich Tom Cruise is, but then that's what prenups are for, and good for Katie for leaving him, he's gotten weirder each year and she has lost whatever personality she had after marrying him, I do hope she gets custody of Suri, she lives for that little girl and I doubt if her ex would be a good influence on her what with his scientology beliefs..

    sabi nga ni nicole kidman in one of her interviews, during the time she was married to tom she was meant to be seen with him and not heard.. siguro ganun din ang feeling ni katie kasi she used to be so bubbly prior to her marriage to tom. control freak din daw si tom..

    i think what xray is trying to say is that, parang kinarma din si tom cruise.. he blindsided nicole when he filed for divorce prior to their 10th yr anniv para di makahabol si nicole sa half ng assets ni tom. she got a heft amount though from the divorce.

    xray was merely referring to what he did to nicole kidman when he divorced her, as what lady_camila had said, he blindsided her and now it has happened to him too, although nicole kidman already had her last laugh when her career flourished right after the split and ended up marrying a wonderful guy like keith urban and having two beautiful kids with him. a lot of people in the U.S. think tom cruise is a bit creepy due to his association with Scientology and their weird beliefs

    Tom divorced Nicole K. before the 11th year because she would have gotten half of his empire! That's why after their 10th anniversary, he filed for divorce. NOW, Katie surprised Tom with the divorce. It's because of Scientology, Tom's cult. As Suri grows older, Tom's religion will dictate what Suri should do, should become, and Katie doesn't want that for her daughter.

    She's a catholic that's why understandably, it contradicts her faith and beliefs. Like John Travlota, they did not give medicines to their son who died eventually because that is the teaching of Scientology.

    agree with you Tyler, Pinayforever, Katie needed to leave Catholic beliefs for Tom and embrace Scientology...good thing she woke up in time.

    i agree to all the comment here!the scientology cult will kill tom cruise and all the members at the end!what a lot of _____ that cult and all members were all rich because they want their money not only a small amount but millions and if u will walk out or stop to be a member they will not allow u to the extent they will threaten those who want to stop!very scary organization!

    although katie has some ties with Scientology, she did not fully embrace the cult.. sabi daw Suri is now at the age wherein scientology will begin to be major part of her life that's why katie is seeking sole custody over the child.

    katie no longer has to tilt her head in pics like this one, to accommodate tom's smaller height. just like nicole kidman said she can finally wear heels.
