When Paypal co-founder Elon Musk split up with his wife, Talulah Riley, for the first time, he told the whole world.

"It was an amazing four years. I will love you forever," the entrepreneur tweeted to the British actress in January 2012. "You will make someone very happy one day."

That happy person apparently was him when they tied the knot again in July 2013.

The rekindled romance didn't last. On Wednesday - the day many people make vows for the coming year - the couple officially broke their marital vow. Musk filed for divorce in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve.

The couple said they were splitting amicably and that Musk agreed to give Riley US$16 million in cash and other assets as part of a financial settlement, according to a joint statement.
