How Deep Is Your Love? How Deep Are Your Pockets?
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!

I too thought it was unheard of; $600.00 for flowers. She better go outside and pick her some dandelions, put them in a vase and call it a day. It is people like that that have the world in the shape it is in now. The more they have the more they want. I don’t care how beautiful she is, but really she ain’t all that. Oh by the way, I hope your birthday was a happy one.

These people kill me!!! They are most likely not God-fearing people, no scruples and have spoiled themselves beyond belief. Me, I love me some JESUS and I have a heck of a time reeling in my thoughts and trying to keep them pure. What is wrong with these women…go ahead and have an affair buddie ’cause I’m gonna spend yo money!!! What do I care if you don’t come home…I’m gonna buy everything I need to make me happy. I’m not talking about going to the mall baby, I’m talking about voyages on the QM2 and the QE2. I’m gonna embezzle your funds and have several hidden accounts in Switzerland. Shoes, bags, furs, clothes and lingerie for every possible occasion, event and illness. I’m going to the dentist EVERY month, gonna keep my hair on point and manni/ pedi will be required. I’m gonna keep a fine car and a truck at my disposal daily! I will have a physician and a personal dietian…So if the husband does decide to come home it will be spectacular. Yes, fresh flowers delivered, whatever hubby likes to eat on the finest china/silverware/glassware…sleeping(or whatever) on the finest thread count sheets.Yeah baby, come on home when you get done…Mama will be right here!!!! Did I forget?, spending time in the french riveria, plush residential suites in several major hotels….have your fun ’cause I’m gonna have mine.
In the immortal words of Kanye West: “I ain’t saying she a gold digger, but she ain’t messing with no broke….”
This is a layup. I hope he didn’t think his dashing good looks made her want to be with him in the first place. He had the cash and like a magnet, it attracted someone who normally wouldn’t pay him any attention. She did the most despicable thing possible – married and had sex with him – and now she wants to cash in big.

This is absolutely crazy. This is why you see some, maybe not alot, but some famous or rich people marrying their high school boyfriend/girlfriend or at least someone that they where with before they had all their money. The wants that this woman has is beyond reality for normal people, but probably a normal thing for her.
