[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

She never claimed to be in dire financial straits? She claimed that she would need to sell the properties (which are worth 8 figures) because she couldn't afford to buy out her ex-husband's half. [/quote]

Yes, she did claim that.....and that claim was untrue, per the financial disclosures.[/quote]

It was untrue that she couldn't afford to buy out half? Where does the article say that?[/quote]

In the article, it says she reported an income of 800k in 2019 and that she is set to inherit 45 million (along with her brother) from her stepmother--I understand money she is set to inherit is not actually hers yet, but come on, this is no woman under any sort of financial stress. [/quote]
She’ll get her share of the $45 million when the stepmother dies. How is that supposed to help her if she needs the money now? And why shouldn’t a man pay child support and expenses for his own kids?[/quote]

Wow, where did I say a man shouldn't pay child support for his own kids? I said she is a wealthy woman who was not under any sort of financial stress, based on the new yorker article. [/quote]

You wouldn't be stressed having to either sell your homes or spend $7.5 million-ish to keep them?[/quote]

She had access to five trusts, with each trust having about 35 million in it. So stressful. [/quote]

I thought she was inheriting a trust at some point in the future when someone died. Am I misunderstanding?[/quote]
