[quote=Anonymous][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]
No, you’re right. Belle Burden and her brother will get the remainder of their late father’s estate only when their stepmother dies. People are deliberately ignoring that little fact. She is extremely close to her stepmother by the way, so it’s not a wicked witch situation. [/quote]
