According to the Daily Mail, the divorce between Madonna and Guy Ritchie has been concluded. They say an agreement is forthcoming, perhaps by the end of the month. The big surprise is that Guy Ritchie refused to take any of Madonna's money.

Ritchie is not without his own means, some say he possesses a fortune worth as much as $60 million. The only matter of contention between Madonna and Ritchie was what would happen to the couple's three children. That issue has been settled, as well.

Madonna wanted the kids to live with her in New York City and Ritchie was a proponent of bringing them all to London. A compromise is said to have been reached that will allow David Banda and Rocco Ritchie to share time between Ritchie and Madonna. Lourdes, who is Madonna's daughter with Carlos Leon, will remain in New York City with her mother and father.

"It will be all over by the end of the month. The priority for him has always been the children," a source told the Daily Mail. "Ritchie has not wanted her money. He has done exactly what Billie Piper did when she divorced Chris Evans. She walked away without any of his money, much to her credit. Guy Ritchie has done the same."

If true, Madonna has certainly saved herself many millions of dollars during these trouble economic times.
