We’re almost to Friday!  Hang on! 

Here’s a story that caught my eye! 

Tell me: how much is one woman worth? What if she is a Countess and 30 years younger than her husband? What if she is drop dead gorgeous? (a matter of opinion)  Does any of that constitute asking for 99 million of your husband’s 329 million, most of which he earned before marrying you? Apparently Marie Douglas-David thinks so! Check this out.

He was 60, urbane and exquisitely upholstered in tailored suits and starched shirts. She was 30 and Swedish, as in drop-dead blond gorgeous. He was the fabulously wealthy former CEO of a high-powered manufacturing firm. She was a countess.

It was a match made in rich people’s heaven. But the divorce is straight from the ninth circle of relationship hell.

In 2005, three years after their wedding and after agreeing to separate, Marie Douglas-David signed a postnuptial agreement giving her $43 million in stock, hedge fund shares, jewelry, and properties in Sweden worth $4 million. But she says that because the couple reconciled for six months after they broke up, the agreement is void. And besides, she says, the postnup shouldn’t apply anyway because she was deceived into signing it.

Marie Douglas-David, a former investment banker, says she has no income and needs her 67-year-old husband, George David, to pay her more than $53,000 a week, more than most U.S. households make in a year, to cover her expenses.

Douglas-David has filed court papers showing she has more than $53,800 in weekly expenses, including: the Park Avenue apartment and three residences in Sweden, $700 for limousine service, $8,000 for travel, $4,500 for clothing, $1,500 for restaurants and entertainment, $1,000 to keep her hair perfect and her skin glowing and $600 for flowers to make the Park Avenue penthouse worth walking into.

Yes, we all buy things we don’t need.  Our play money could feed many starving children all over the world.  But many of us aren’t able to extensively play and demand a luxury life for too long before we would be broke!  No joke!  I can’t imagine anything so horrific this husband could have done, to warrant his wife asking for (among many others!) $600.00 a week to to purchase flowers to make her entrance into her Park Avenue apartment worthy of her presence!  Is any one woman worth all of that? Especially if she is not the one who earned the money and was only around for 7 years of his life! That’s some deep gold digging!

Holla back and tell me what you think about the expensive ex-to-be!
