[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found it interesting that the husband needs to pay off his law school debt himself given how wealthy her family is. That debt is nothing compared to her wealth. [/quote]

It’s her wealth, not his. Why should she pay for it?[/quote]

Is this a serious question?? They’re married.

Do you think Mark Zuckerberg has Priscilla Chan still working to pay off her medical school debt??

I remember Nicole Shanahan who is the wife of Sergey Brin (billionaire and founder of google) talk about her student loans in a video. I’m sure Brin who is now her husband has paid it off for her.

I find it bizarre that she has her husband working to pay it off. Given she has a family office she can afford it. I’m assuming that he is going to be the father of her children so...???[/quote]

Yes, it’s a serious question. It was my question, actually. Clearly, having a prenup, this family doesn’t think like you do. Why on earth would she pay his loans off after securing a prenup?  [/quote]

I’m the person that asked if this is a serious question. She’s smart to have a prenup. Never disagreed with that. And honestly, doesn’t sound like a family I would marry into. There are plenty of wealthy families that aren’t like this one and actually kind.[/quote]

And she is not kind, because?[/quote]

DP- I think she sounds confident and generous with her immediate family, which is great, but she doesn’t sound kind. The insistence on her husband paying his own loan and fantasizing about setting up her sister with her DH’s friend just after she met his sweet gf (wtf?) just gives off an unkind vibe. She seems awesome in some ways but is probably overbearing and controlling in real life.[/quote]

Maybe he wanted to pay off his own loans. It’s clear that he’s living off her family’s money/her income. Even if she didn’t pay his loans directly, by paying his living expenses for years, he was certainly able to put more of his own income towards his student loans. If you recognize that money is fungible, her family/her income did contribute to his loan payments.[/quote]

He is living in a home he could not afford on his own. He travels business class and eats higher end food. He’s definitely financially benefitting from her money. I still don’t think she needs to pay off his loans. What if she did and the next year he cheated or died or left her?  [/quote]
