Lehman Brothers, the bank with the title of the largest bankruptcy in history, has ranked up a bill of $1.6 billion in fees and expenses as of January 31, 2012. In comparison, Enron, which is the second largest bankruptcy in history, had a bankruptcy bill of $793 million.

Lehman Brothers is expected to exit Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this week after three years. Bondholders are expected to receive a total of $65 billion by recent estimates, with the first $10 billion to come in the next month and a half.

Its consulting firm Alvarez & Marsal has already collected $512 million in fees, the primary law firm representing Lehman will collect $383 million, and the law firm that represented its creditors has billed the company $133 million for their work.
