[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did she even marry him? I have a friend an immigrant from Eastern Europe. She married a trust funder and they have the opposite arrangement: her earnings are only hers and he pays rent/mortgage. She only marginally contributes to living expenses. 
She’s a lawyer and already amassed a fortune, saving every year almost $200k and dumping it in stocks [/quote]

Good arrangement, seems fair. Since Belle was the trustfund baby in this situation, that explains the pre-nup. Not going to cry for a woman who didn't work for years and has millions in real estate.[/quote]

She had no idea when she signed the prenup that he would go on to make that much money. Always risks in that respect.[/quote]

It’s unclear to me how big her trusts and inheritance actually are though … [/quote]

At least $10m if she was able to buy him out of both houses.[/quote]

What’s maddening is not him retaining his earnings it’s him pocketing the appreciation on houses and emptying her trusts (which are HIS kids trusts in the end). Where her lawyers were looking ? It’s a predatory prenup and they should have advised better to state that appreciation on whatever is funded with trust remains in trust [/quote]

Who knows how it was reviewed?  Belle has a BA from Harvard and a law degree from NYU, but she says she was "in love" and nothing else mattered at that point.  Plus, if you've never had to worry about money in your life, it probably didn't register to her that one day she may need to worry when her husband fleeces her for all her assets.[/quote]

They were engaged in 3 months and married soon after. Definitely a rush job

The way he seduced her when she was living with her boyfriend. He is all red flags.

I ak guessing she figured she would be the wealthier one and figured he could keep what he earned since he grew up poorer. I dont think the prenup specified that she pay half of expenses, I think he just enforced it as “fair” and she went along with it thinking why would it matter, they were in it together. [/quote]

He hid all his hedge fund earnings in a separate account and bought himself Rolexes and fancy wine, while constantly questioning all of her spending to the point where she would buy Christmas gifts and clothes for the kids using her money and hide it from him. Then, after he walks out, he tries to enforce the prenup, taking half the values of the homes she paid for and not sharing any of his hedge fund money. He would have left her and the kids without enough money to stay in either of the homes that she originally purchased. Fortunately, he backed down at the last minute. [/quote]
What a POS. I wonder if he’s still carrying on with the AP.[/quote]
