[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This New Yorker article summarizes financial disclosures from the divorce case showing that the author was never in the dire financial straits she claimed: https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/whats-missing-from-belle-burdens-strangers

It actually makes a lot of sense that she had way more money in her separate property than she let on. Reading the book, I was questioning why she didn't leverage her experience doing pro bono legal work into an actual paying job if her financial situation was so grim. Also, she will get $50k in child support PER MONTH until the youngest is 22. The 0.1% sure live differently.

I liked the book but I'm not surprised at the omissions. So many books are like this, especially memoirs. [/quote]
^^and it doesn't speak well for the publishing industry. Also, she could have focused less on the financial outcome and more on divorcing. The New Yorker article notes that the original NYT article was about the betrayal. I read the book and I really wasn't that interested in the settlement details. [/quote]
