Earlier this summer we learned that the father of Linda Evangelista's son Augustin James is Salma Hayek's husband Henri Pinault a French businessman if you missed that click here. Linda has recently filed a petition for child support. Linda is asking for one of the largest support orders in the history of family court. But, what else would you expect from the woman who was famous for saying "She doesn't wake up for less than $10,000" at the height of her modeling career.
From The NY Post
Supermodel Linda Evangelista is asking for $46,000 per month in child support from French billionaire Francois Henri-Pinault, the father of Augustin James, her 4-year-old son. Evangelista, 46, arrived at Manhattan family court on Monday to argue her case; Support Magistrate Matthew Troy called the request "probably the largest support order in the history of the Family Court."
Pinault, 49, is the CEO of Pinault-Printemps-Redoute, a Paris-based congolmerate that owns Gucci, Yves St. Laurent and Bottega Veneta; his family is worth an estimated $11.5 billion.
Evangelista's lawyer argued that monthly sum -- totaling $552,000 a year -- would cover costs for round-the-clock nannies, drivers and security detail to keep little Augustin well-adjusted and safe.
Although he dismissed her demand for $7500 in vacation expenses, the judge largely sided with Evangelista, noting, "these are the extraordinary expenses that may be a part of the child's life."
The supermodel herself explained her hectic professional life in court. "When I work, it can be a 16-hour day...on days when I do not work, I am working on my image," she said, noting appointments at the gym and the salon.
