A prenuptial agreement (prenup) is a contract made between two people before marrying that establishes rights to property and support in the event of divorce or death.
Hollywood actor Tom Cruise, who infamously jumped on Oprah Winfrey’s couch in delirious joy while describing his love for his soon-to-be third wife Katie Holmes, signed a prenuptial agreement with the blushing bride before their marriage in 2006. Katie was to receive $3 million for every year of marriage.
