The couple then divides up the property, and compares value. They then settle up.

So if the wife ends up with $100k worth of property, and the OP with $80k worth of property, she must pay him $10k to make him whole.

By getting the miles valued at $2, the OP has most certainly "won" if the value sticks, as his wife only gets $2 worth of other assets in offset. Of course, only the lawyers really won.
