Millionaire PayPal Founder Actress Wife Files for Divorce

0125_elon_musk_talulah_riley_getty_EX
Millionaire PayPal founder Elon Musk's wife has filed for divorce ... TMZ has learned.

The British "Pride and Prejudice" actress -- named Talulah Riley -- filed the papers on January 17th, citing "irreconcilable differences" ... one day before Musk publicly announced the couple's split on Twitter.

In a telephone interview with Forbes on the 18th, Musk -- worth a reported $680 million -- made it sound as though he was the driving force behind the divorce, claiming, "I still love her, but I’m not in love with her. And I can’t really give her what she wants.”

The Forbes headline reads, "Elon Musk to Divorce Wife" -- but clearly, Talulah beat him to the punch. So far, Elon has NOT filed divorce documents.

It's unclear who truly wished to end the relationship, or whether it was a mutual decision.

His 1st wife got nothing, So Talulah will get the same. After his nasty 1st divorce, I'm sure this pre-nup was iron clad!

Being rich sucks, they all love you for your money and just wait for the right time to ditch you and take half of what you have.

Holy cow - $680million and it sounds like neither of them can find happiness. Sobering to hear that.


She obviously is not staying just for the money. Props to them both.

Strange, nothing on how long they have been married nor about a PRE-NUP. This one should clog the courts for awhile.

He has a first wife who has 5 sons - this chick is his second wife. And he fought the first one tooth and nail over $ - but she ultimately won. No doubt this one has a pre-nup. Sounds like a real prince.

If he says he's not inlove with her, she didn't beat him to the punch. They must have agreed that she should file it or he prefers she files it. That's why I think a lot of your headlines are deceiving. I think most men prefer if the women file it. Just like Demi and Ashton. Although Demi filed for divorce, Ashton checked out of the marriage long time before she filed it.

Yes, he can give her what she wants, and he's about to.
Nerds will always be nerds. All the money in the world won't make up for their insecurities.
