Rant of the Week.

Swedish Countess Marie Douglas-David wants to have a post nuptial agreement she signed after 4 years of marriage nullified. Instead of 43 million dollars in a divorce settlement, she believe she is entitled to 30% of her husbands net worth...or about 100 million dollars.



Now let me get this straight...They married and after 4 years were having enough troubles to sign the agreement. They attempted reconciliation for about a year. They have lived separately since. So 5 years of marriage. They've had no children. She claims to be a former "investment banker" so I assume she has an education. There is almost 30 years difference in age. Which means to me that the majority of George David's net worth was earned prior to their marriage and not during the 4 to 5 years they were married. He is the Chairman of the Board of United Technologies, Inc.


She claims to have expenses of over 50,000 a week (not a month...a week!!!). And she wants him to pay her enough money so that she will be set for the rest of her life at that level of spending . 5 years of marriage, no children and she wants to be set for life at that level of spending? Geeesh...what planet is she from...certainly not sweden! In the picturebook dictionary her face will now as the definition next to the word dictionary. I don't care if he is a creep, unfaithful, or whatever...this is rediculous. And


I figured that at 43 million if she earned only 2% on her money she'd have an income of over 800,000 a year without touching the capital. She can't live on that? Geesh...get a job. or sucker in another husband if anyone is willing to risk it.
