How much did CNN pay Sandman to settle?

Most sources say or imply CNN paid in the low millions of which about 40% went to lawyers. So if Mr Sandman got, say, $5million, then lawyers took $2million, leaving Mr Sandman with $3million. Be clear the $5million figure is merely an example.

Do you think it’s a fair price?

Nobody knows.

The original filing was for $250million.

My hope is Mr Sandman got at least ten percent or $25million, thereby netting $15million which should pay for college, establish a nice retirment/emergency fund, and also help out his family some.
