My favourite demands

£26,000 for a mobile phone, quite clearly with Vodafone Grin

Lawyer : Name an opera "Nutcracker "
lawyer: that's a ballet Grin

My house won't do incase I have to share a floor with the help, so I need a new one!

She's a special something hopefully the court will laugh her out of all her demands!

planeymcplaneface · 28/06/2016 19:44

I was a mix of Envy Shock and Grin reading it all haha

IT seems ridiculous to us, but when you have billions and billions, well it's not much to ask for. That's the lifestyle she's had and adapted to.

My mind boggles At the numbers, but I can understand them.

planeymcplaneface · 28/06/2016 20:00

I do get that she will be accustomed to that way of life but reading it is mindboggling

To be fair what he did to her is awful. He has billions so I'm sure he can spare it.

planeymcplaneface · 28/06/2016 20:11

Ill confess i have no idea what has happened i just saw it while reading other articles

But he lives like that himself. And he got married to someone else when he was married to her. He's worth billions - her phone bill is not going to bankrupt him. I do wonder though how that phone could cost so much. Are there special phones that we don't even see in the shops?

coveredinhopeandvaseline · 28/06/2016 20:18

I cannot imagine this grotesque level of wealth. Unfathomable.

NewUsernameOldMe · 28/06/2016 20:25

Tbh that is just gross. Its what i call "filthy rich" 55 MILLION for a house???

eyebrowsonfleek · 28/06/2016 20:28

You can get phones that cost 5 figures eg Vertu

goddessofsmallthings · 28/06/2016 20:29

The first photo reminds me of Dolly Parton saying 'It costs a lot of bucks to look this cheap" Smile

It's all relative and if the court is minded to grant Ms Estrada's claim, either in full or in part, I wish her good luck in prising whatever she is awarded out of her stbxh before he pops his clogs as I doubt she'll stand much chance after his demise.

imperial yes there are gold phones with diamond buttons and a special button that connects you immediately to a personal assistant. (Can't remember where I read this but I'm fairly certain it's true!)

Liara · 28/06/2016 20:31

I wouldn't shag that guy once for 195 million, let alone repeatedly over 13 years!

In many places she would be entitled to half his assets which would be a damn site more.

AppleSetsSail · 28/06/2016 20:31

She is not a supermodel.

ifyoulikepinacolada · 28/06/2016 20:38

Well, yeah, but he's got the money.

There are so many threads on MN assuring posters that if they leave their husbands of 13 years they're entitled to a significant chunk of his assets. The sums in this case are mind boggling, but the principle stands.

KatharinaRosalie · 28/06/2016 20:39

£9,400 for four bottles of face cream

GoldBear · 28/06/2016 20:43

Gives a new meaning to 'it's all relative'!

He's trying to screw her over, not edifying.

dingdongdigeridoo · 28/06/2016 20:46

Ah good luck to her. The whole thing is ridiculous. He has more money than he could ever spend in a lifetime. She's a total loon, but at least she's employing people and keeping the luxury face cream industry afloat.

whataboutbob · 28/06/2016 21:01

She has sold her youth and beauty and now wants to make sure she gets the best price possible. Not very edifying.

FeliciaJollygoodfellow · 28/06/2016 21:03

The amount of money is obscene but tbh, I don't see why he can't or shouldn't part with it.

queenofthepirates · 28/06/2016 21:04

I used to work with people with a similar level of wealth and by and large, they were all a bit unhappy. I felt rather sorry for them.

clam · 28/06/2016 21:08

Just think of the fact that she's had to shag him for years.

This. He has the money.

Considering that he married another woman without even bothering to divorce her first, I don't have much sympathy for him. He's clearly the sort of man who thinks he can have his cake and eat it.

He should have to pay up, it'll be an educating experience for him.

JudyCoolibar · 29/06/2016 00:59

£50K a year on Christmas dinners?

Let's all go round to hers this year, she must buy a massive turkey. Or maybe it's swans.

RudeElf · 29/06/2016 01:26

Well it may be gross but if she doesnt ask for it (and get it) the money doesnt just disappear, it just stays with him instead. He married her, part of that agreement is to see her right if the marriage ends. If he didnt want to do that then not marrying was an option.
