Incidentally, David Mikkelson apparently did have such a right but simply didn't want to or couldn't afford to buy his ex-wife's share at the price it went for. Also, leaving this top comment unchallenged would play into his narrative that he's the sole founder of Snopes, a claim he used in the recent fundraiser which raised two thirds of a million dollars. (I'm still astounded that more Snopes readers didn't spot this, but I guess since Snopes confirmed it....)
