Sean Penn's divorce cost him nearly everything.
Sean Penn and Robin Wright had some difficult moments as a couple and, apparently, they still have rocky times now that they're divorced.Jacked from NY Daily News
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter about his charity work in Haiti, Penn explained that he spent nearly all of 2010 in the earthquake-ravaged country because he wanted to help rebuild it.
But in the midst of his explanation, the actor snuck in a jab at his ex-wife.
"I didn't have commitments, except for way in the future; I had nothing pressing," he told the publication. "I got practical issues … I had just got taken for one half of everything I had in the divorce, so it's not like I don't have to work."
The couple, whose 14-year divorce was finalized in July after years of break-ups-and-make-ups, has a daughter, 19-year-old Dylan, and a son, 17-year-old Hopper.
Despite the tragedies he witnessed daily in the Caribbean country, the "Milk" star said his broken family ended up having a bigger impact on him.
"A much more profound change in life for me personally was not being able to raise my son in a whole family through high school," he said – according to THR – "bitterly."
(In August 2009, Wright, 44, told More magazine, "I have no regrets. I, we, have two amazing children we raised together." A rep for the actress has not yet responded to a request for comment.)
Penn is feeling estranged from others, too.
"Let's face it," he declared, "I'm a person that feels pretty alienated from the rest of the world and never felt understood by anyone."
And the actor has no immediate plans to give up his volunteer work in Haiti, which was initially intended to be a two-week stint.
"There's a great thing Paul Newman said about his long marriage," he recalled. "‘As it turns out, we still love each other.' That's how I feel: ‘As it turns out, I'm still here.'"
"There's no end point," Penn added. "This is where I'll be when I'm not working, for the rest of my life."

so he feels black?.....he is sexy hmmph .
If you bring children into the world living a certain life style, while do men feel when they divorce that the wife and kids should live any different. I would say the same if it was a man raising his children and divorcing his wife. You can't expect your exwife to go back to living in an apartment if she married you and raised your kids in a mansion. Split it and make peace.
Split it doesn't sound fair but okay
@ 7:32 :Whoa, no question about your gender.It's easy to say cripple your ex-spouse financially when it's usually your gender that benefits from that idea. I'd hate someone who essentially legally "stole/extorted" xxx millions of dollars from me in court. I'd honestly wanna hire someone to snuff them out, even the mother of my children.I can't make peace with someone whose keeping me from my children and stealing money from me through the court system. In this case, usually most of the money is going into keeping my ex-wife in Gucci, Louis Vutton,and Chanel or shopping for some asshole she got after we separated and not into providing for my kids. I say when it comes to divorce you each should take what you walked in with and just make due. If you wanna help put money up for the kids,it should be a choice. I'd do it for my kids but kids/life is expensive when you think about, especially if your money isn't as long as people think.
