Guy Ritchie has reportedly refused to take a penny of Madonna's £300m fortune in their divorce settlement.
The film director, who is thought to be worth £30m, would have been entitled to half of her wealth but will walk away empty handed, the Evening Standard reports.
Madonna, 50, wants to take the children back to New York while Guy, 40, is desperate to keep his sons in London.
Rocco, eight, and three-year-old adopted David will apparently divide their time between Britain and the US, while Madonna's daughter Lourdes will stay with her Mum.
A source told the paper: "It will be all over by the end of the month. I am sure it will be announced by then.
"The priority for him has always been the children. Ritchie has not wanted her money. He has done exactly what Billie Piper did when she divorced Chris Evans."
Madonna is currently on a world tour and will perform in Philadelphia tonight (Thursday), while Guy is busy filming Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law.
