I am not familiar with the case but by the sound of it as presented it doesnt sound extreme..

250k + 5m for her..

He keeps 12.5m and earns 750k.. The 12.5m probably makes another 800 - 1.2m if safely invested (nearer the 1.25 would be my guess) so hes on 2m per year and has to give her a bit over 10% of his income..

That doesnt sound too bad..

If he had given 1/2 of his assets in total 8.75m and she got 10% returns she would get 875k per year income.. As it is she gets 250k and (at 10%) 500k for a 750k annual total.. she actually gets less annually and less in absolute % terms in this way !!

I think everyones comments are based on the fact its large numbers rather than analysing whats roughly equal.. Comments like whats she doing with the 5m is basically her business.. If she has spent 18 years as someones partner and come up to the level of living as a multi millionaire and supported his efforts to get there I think she has the right to remain in that standard of living.

Also of course depends on grounds for divorce.. Like if she or he was caught cheating does that assist the other persons divorce claims ??? Does the grounds come into the settlement question ??
