A young woman, Marie Douglas-David, was an employed professional until she married an incredibly wealthy man 30 years her senior, George David, in 2002. She quit her job to assume the position of Mrs. Douglas-David. Then shock of all shocks, her marriage to her uber super-sugary daddy started getting real messy shortly after the honeymoon in 2004, according to court papers.
They signed a post-nuptial agreement in 2005 that promised Douglas-David $43 million if ever one of them said "nevermind" to their mutual commitment to be life partners.
Douglas-David wants that agreement voided. She says her husband bullied her into it. This woman, who had been an investment banker, says her daddy, I mean husband, coerced her to sign it by preying on her fears of being divorced and childless. So, the $43 million she signed up for should be tossed aside.
She deserves, and hey needs, $100 million in cash and stock. And - that's right and - $130,000 a month - that's right a month - in alimony.
The post nup you see, is reportedly tied to her daddy's, I mean husband's, former company's stock. As all stock has taken a dive, so has Douglas-David's payout for having boinked this man for several years running.
The problem, according to her, is that it is expensive to be her. She needs more than that $43 million.
Douglas-David's court papers say she has more than $53,800 in weekly expenses - that's right weekly. She has a Park Avenue apartment and three residences in Sweden to keep up after all. And then weekly, she needs $700 for limousine service, $4,500 for clothes, $1,000 for hair and skin treatments, $1,500 for restaurants and entertainment, and $8,000 for travel, $2,209 for a personal assistant and $600 for flowers.
The postnup also gave her some other stuff: a 4-carat, $255,000 earrings, a $97,000 Mercedes-Benz, some lamps, a chandelier and a Christo drawing, whatever the heck that is.
Here's hoping the blond, well-mannered, tastefully dressed Ashley Duprey isn't forced to slip into a life where she can only spend $1,000 a month on her hair.
