  1. verified: Khaby Lame's wife filed for divorce.

  2. verified: Khaby Lame's wife is seeking half of his assets.
    Reports from April 2026 confirm that Wendy Thembelihle Juel filed for divorce seeking half of Khaby Lame's estimated $80 million fortune.
  3. mostly true: A court stated that Khaby Lame owns nothing.
    While multiple sources report that Khaby Lame's assets are registered under his father's name, leading to claims he 'technically owned nothing,' California community property law dictates that assets acquired during marriage are generally considered community property, regardless of whose name they are under. Therefore, a court stating he 'owns nothing' is an oversimplification of the legal process.
  4. mostly true: Everything Khaby Lame owns is listed under his father's name.
    Multiple reports from April and September 2026 indicate that a significant portion of Khaby Lame's assets, including proceeds from a major deal, are registered under his father's name. This strategy is widely discussed in the context of his divorce proceedings.
