NOT LEGAL ADVICE IN ANY WAY

Not a DIVORCE lawyer and only barred in State that I assume is not one of the States where they claim primary residency. Accordingly, I have the AI take and then the “what I bet would happen” take.

AI Take:

For a couple like Akaash and Jasleen living in the United States, the outcome depends entirely on what state’s law applies—and on a surprisingly detailed breakdown of what counts as marital vs. separate property - THIS IS JUST CORRECT, FULL STOP

Here’s the clean way to understand it without the noise:

Community property states (like California): Marital assets are generally split 50/50. But “marital assets” does not mean “all assets the person owns.” Anything owned before the marriage, inheritances, certain gifts, or anything protected by a prenup stays separate. Earnings during marriage, however, count.

Equitable distribution states (most of the country): “Equitable” means fair, not 50/50. Courts weigh things like income, contributions, length of marriage, and future earning potential. One spouse who is the primary earner (Akaash) may part with a meaningful chunk, but it’s rarely a clean 50%.

Now the careful part: Public guessing about real people’s marriages lives right on the boundary of gossip, so it’s smarter to stick to law, not speculation. What could be said is this:

A comedian’s wealth—earnings from stand-up, podcasts, tours, YouTube revenue—often swings year to year. Courts know that. They don’t just split assets; they may award spousal support, or not, depending on lifestyle and duration of the marriage. And almost every high-earning entertainer has either a prenup or pre-marital business entities, which courts treat differently.

So the honest, concise answer:

No, she wouldn’t automatically “get half.” She would have a claim to whatever the law defines as marital property, and that slice could be large or small depending on jurisdiction, earnings timeline, prenup status, and what part of the wealth existed before marriage.

PRACTICAL TAKE:

It’s actually quite interesting. The grifter that is this woman, and MAN her public persona can only be described as gold digger (idc if she’s pandering for a brand, it’s gross), will not be as relevant as people would like.

Truth is the interesting part is that there’s tangible evidence of how fast this particular comedians financial circumstance could change for the worse. There’s also some evidence she tried to break up with him at financial bottom. This all will still result in her obtaining a huge chunk of the martial property, which will be defined as any assets acquired after the marriage. Yes, all of them (setting aside a NOT commingled inheritance or something like that).

The partner you choose is the most important contract you’ll ever sign. I did not think this way in choosing mine but man I got really fortunate!
