The divorce petition was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court Wednesday afternoon.
The divorce comes several months after a judge ordered V. Stiviano, Donald Sterling’s alleged mistress, to pay Shelly Sterling $2.6 million. Judge Richard Fruin Jr. said the money was community property from six decades of marriage that was secretly spent buying V. Stiviano a house, a Ferrari and other luxury gifts.
It also comes nearly a year after Stiviano’s recording of Donald Sterling making racially offensive remarks bounced him from the NBA and cost him team ownership.
The Sterlings made a fortune in real estate, and will likely split the $2 billion they amassed from selling the Clippers.
