Dikembe Mutombo was less than two weeks away from walking down the aisle to marry Georgetown med school student Michelle Roberts on his 28th birthday in 1994 when he asked her to sign a 23-page prenuptial agreement. Mutombo had made a little more than $10 million four years into his NBA career — his final total reached $143 million — and had lucrative years in front of him, prompting friends to advise the basketball star to protect himself in the event the marriage didn’t work out.

Raised in a culture in which successful children are expected to share their wealth with parents and siblings, Mutombo wanted assurances that his blood relatives would be the primary beneficiaries upon his death. He wrote in a figure for a flat financial settlement rather than a percentage of his earnings if the marriage ended in divorce.

Roberts was adamant about not wanting to sign the prenuptial agreement and their discussions came down to the day before the scheduled ceremony. When she would not relent, Mutombo called off the engagement even though his family had already arrived from Africa. The decision was so last-minute that not everyone received word and Denver Nuggets teammate Bryant Stith showed up at church after having cut his own honeymoon short.

By the time the bills came in for the ceremony, a reception for 500 people, and travel and accommodations, calling off the wedding was a $250,000 rejection on the part of Dikembe Mutombo.
She tried to lay up on a block expert

If he was really HOH she wouldn’t have got that far with no prenup. They was damn near married
Trying to pull a prenup on the day of, or even a couple weeks before, is low key some ho shyt. You shouldn’t have even asked her to marry you without already having this shyt in place or at least already discussed heavily.

never knew about this story. Richard Jefferson had a similar story too. I don't think a pre-nup was involved though.
Called off the wedding the night before, gave his homies the Black Card and told them ball out for the inconvenience lol
