Sue Ann Arnall, former wife of multi-billionaire Continental Resources Inc. executive Harold Hamm, recently failed to win her appeal of the couple’s divorce suit before the Oklahoma Supreme Court. In a 7-2 decision, the high court dismissed her appeal on the grounds that Arnall had already “received the benefits flowing” from the judgment rendered by the trial court, which included—among other assets in the near $1 billion settlement—a $975 million personal check from Hamm to her for the entire sum of the property-division alimony.
Arnall filed for divorce from Hamm, on May 18, 2012, in Oklahoma County District Court, according to the Oklahoma Supreme Court’s opinion in the case of Hamm v. Hamm. On Nov. 10, 2014, the district court entered its divorce decree, awarding Arnall three pieces of real property and the properties’ contents; Arnall’s Continental Resources 401K; certain bank accounts; a note from Olan Arnall; and property division alimony in the amount of $995,481,842, minus the $22,750,000 from interim distributions while the divorce was pending.
