So a Super model, one Linda Evangelista, is getting divorced from her billionaire husband, and wants money for child support. So far so good - nothing new here.
But the story becomes fuel for debate when we discover that she is actually looking for $46,000 a month. Now I know that raising a child is expensive, but does the kid really need 24 hour nanny care, drivers, armed security details, and a Manhattan apartment for his 'play day.'
GMA interviewed a family law attorney - Alexandra Leichter, and asked if $46,000 a month is not to much. Her reply, "Not if he's a billionaire."
This logic is somewhat peculiar, and if applied to the rest of the world, it would mean that the cost of goods and services are somehow relevant to the size of the customers bank roll. In this bizarre world, It would cost Donald Trump $119,000 for a car wash and Bill Gates would be paying as much for a gallon of milk as the rest of the seething unwashed masses pay for a house.
I get that she is angry at the dollar-drenched-Dad, but using the kid as an excuse to extract cash from him is just pathetic. If she cares so much for the child she should give up her modeling job and take care of him.
