Tesla's Elon Musk Gets Second Divorce From Same Woman ... Pays Out $16 Million After $4 Million First Time Around

I'm 31 and single, it is what it is.

After writing this blog, it looks like my choice to stay unmarried was the right one.

I introduce you to Tesla Motor Inc. Chief Executive Elon Musk.

Musk, who also founded PayPal, divorced his wife Talulah Riley in 2012. Eighteen months later the two were remarried.

That's a little bit interesting, but here is where the story gets ultra interesting, and just a little bit perplexing. In 2012, his then first ex-wife received $4.2 million in the divorce settlement.

This time around, the British actress -- the same woman -- will reportedly get $16 million.

Slow learner? After divorcing her once, he didn't get a pre-nup?

Talk about a couple of mistakes... I believe the saying goes, "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."

But there is good news: He's single, ladies!
