Diane ALexander Ritchie is demanding $300,000 a month in child and spousal support, saying she had "no limit on what she could spend" during their nearly 7 years of marriage.
"I know that he earns in excess of $300,000 per month, because we have always comfortably spent at least that in any given month,"she said.
The upkeep of their $40 million, 30 room Beverly Hills mansion includes a $75,000 monthly mortgage and wages for a full time staff of nine an additional people to "maintain our plants, detail our cars, care for our pool, groom our dog, maintain our aquarium and a painter for regular touch-ups on the house,"Diane Richie said.
She estimated that she spent $20,000 a year on plastic surgery, and $50,000 a month on personal expenses, including $15,000 a month for clothing,shoes and accessories, $5,000 on jewelry, $3,000 on dermatology, $1,000 for laser hair removal, and $600 for massages.
..............GIVE ME A BREAK..........
 
Is this the same one who beat him up when she caught him cheating? Or did he marry the one he was cheating with and SHE's the one after his money? Boy, can this guy pick 'em or what!
I guess this explains why his daughter (Nicole from "The Simple Life") is such a lovely individual. :o
 
Now seriously, who NEEDS $20,000 for clothing every month? I think she needs a reality check.

Oh, and someone to maintain the plants? Is it really that difficult to pick up a watering can or a hose? And a dog groomer? Throw Fido in the tub and start scrubbing. Jeez. These big shots make me wanna hurl.:rolleyes:
 
I would like to try and spend that much money just one month. Wouldn't that be fun????
Gee wonder however she will manage if she doesn't get it :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I don't think I could spend $300,000 in a month. My house didn't cost anywhere near that, but I guess that is why we don't have a $75,000 mortgage.:rolleyes:
 
Holycow!!!!! Is this the 1st, 2nd or someone else....that's alot of $$$$$

If it is the 2nd or 3rd...I bet he is wishing he was still with the 1st!

JEEZEL PETE...!!!

Think of all the trips to Disney I could make with $300,00.......


I think she needs to get her head OUT of the clouds and her head out of her A**.....no judge will give her that....thats not normal means of living...

Esmerelda <works for a living and proud of it :wave2:
 
This is the one he was cheating on the first wife who slapped him for cheating on her with this one.... have I lost you all, yet???

Everyone repeat after me:

It's cheaper to keep her,
it's cheaper to keep heeerrrrrrrr

:p
 
I heard on tv the other night that they have been married for like 6-8 years but have been together for 17 years. She is not Nicole's mom...I don't think.??
But I kind of don't think its fair that all this aired about her. He was spending money on all these ridiculous things and she wants to maintain a similar lifestyle. I think 17 years deserves something. I don't agree with her lifestyle but it doesn't seem right that their divorce info is so public for people to judge her. What about him? ok....I am off the soapbox now.
 
I can't even imagine living that way.
 
She is not Nicole's Mom, they adopted her from a musician that was working with Lionel. Lionel thought Nicole was cute and asked if she could stay with them and then asked if they could adopt her. The parents agreed because they thought Nicole would have a better life. Her natural father is in the band on the Wayne Brady Show I think? Is that bizarro or what??!! Give your kids away to celebs!

Actually her Dad was a member of his original group, the Commodores. In this case it was a celeb giving a child away to a celeb.
 
Unreal. What will be horrible is if the judge actually awards her that amount of money.
 
I thought I read in People that Nicole's biological father is now the band leader on the Ellen show? It seems strange to me too.
