All I know about getting cleaned out in a divorce is what Johnny Carson taught me, but that all happened in California and I'm sure our laws are considerably different than those ones.
If I read correctly, a poster above said roughly "what you bring into it is yours, what you get while you are in it is both of yours". Seems fair enough to me. It is supposed to be a team effort after all.
If he's a high-roller and he knows his Missus won't be contributing anything financially in the marriage then that's what he signed up for and should be willing to accept it and the consequences to his bank account if it doesn't work out.
The wealthiest people I know/have known always had the craziest families... step-moms and dads x 3, step-brothers, half-sisters 15 years or more apart, siblings they don't know, screwed secretaries, banishments to boarding schools, drunken trophy wives, more divorces, fights, wrecked cars, insane jealousy. I don't know if there were ever any pre-nups involved, but dad always paid for all that.
