As part of the settlement, Guy will also get keys of Madonna’s Ashcombe House in Wiltshire and Punchbowl pub, which alone are estimated at around $ 44 million and $5.80 million respectively.
Guy and Madonna will share the custody of their three children, Rocco (7 years old), David Banda, (3 years old adopted from Malawi in 2006) and 12-year old daughter Lourdes, which was from Madonna’s previous relationship with Carlos Leon.
