Linda Evangelista's Over-the-Top Child Support Demands Aren't as Crazy as You Think

by Adriana Velez on May 4, 2012 at 1:28 PM

linda evangelistaSupermodel Linda Evangelista wants $46,000 a month for child support from Salma Hayek's now husband, Francois-Henri Pinault. That's almost FIFTY. THOUSAND. A MONTH. What do you even do with that much money? For a 5-year-old!

It sounds ridonkulous and greedy. Does baby need more shoes, or does mama? Even when you add in the $15K a month for a chauffeur and $7K a month for the nanny, it sounds exorbitant (or do I mean extortionist?). But this isn't about paying "mom support." I actually think Linda is totally justified for demanding this much money.

First of all, there's little Augustin's half-sister. Pinault provides very poshly-well for his daughter with Salma, Valentina. (And good for Val and Salma!) $50K is how much Pinault recently spent on a two-week vacation with his family. Plus he's got a $12 million home in trust for Valentina just in case he and Salma split. It's estimated that he makes about $4 million a year and his family is worth around $13 billion.

So given all of that (swoon), it's a little indecent not to provide for your son at least near that level.

And secondly, if Francois didn't want to provide for another child, he should have used some damn birth control! Tell him, 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom cast members. There are consequences for unprotected sex. Pinault claims that when Linda told him she was pregnant, he made it clear that he didn't want the baby -- and Linda had the baby anyway. But tough! His seed, his responsibility.

On behalf of all the women in the world who have been stiffed by irresponsible baby-daddies, I think we all need to see Pinault pay up.

Do you think Linda Evangelista is being greedy or should Pinault pay this much in child support?

    Miss Evangelista needs to get paid! I am mad that for his son it's too much money but for his daughter it is not. One day he will regret it!! BTW, a lot of the money she is asking for is for PROTECTION so that her son is safe. I mean he is the child of one of the wealthiest men in the world.

    I Hope she gets MORE!! Linda Evangelista, also has her own money so it's not like it's for her! YUCK!!

    I agree - F.P. should pay up. His son should be getting, on par, what his daughter is getting, period. Maybe he should get a vasectomey so he doesn't have to worry about this in future?

    So does he not see his son?  Why did he want Valentina but not the boy.  He sounds like an a**.

    Did I forget to mention that Perez also ran this story and the dad's lawyer said: He didn't know her, so he told her to have an abortion....

    YOU DIDN"T KNOW HER.... BUT YOU WERE HAVING SEX WITH HER? SERIOUSLY?!

    Funny how the "you didn't know them but you were having sex with them" thing applies to Linda Evangelista as well, but you chose to ignore that part. She doesn't need the money to take care of her son. She just wants to to punish his dad. I despise women like this.

    I wouldn't even say punish. I'm pretty such this scenario was planned.

    If you think any woman deserves 50,000 a month in support you are an idiot. A fucking class A idiot. And a greedy woman to boot. I despise women like this. I understand a trust that is equal to the other childs but she does NOT deserve 50,000 a month.

    I don't know. After reading the word "ridonkulous", I found it very hard to focus on the topic at hand.

    I'm sorry I was all for it until I read that she choose to have the baby knowing he didn't want it. This is a double standard. It's supposed to be equal rights not lets do whatever the hell we want and make men suffer. Yes, he made the baby. But she choose to keep the baby against his will. So he's heartless for not coughing up 50,000 a month for a child he didn't want? Men & women should have equal say.

    No child needs 50K a month to get by.  However, if it's good for one of his children, damn right he should fork over as much for the other. 

    On a side note -- NO WONDER the privileged children of society grown up to be such assholes.  They learn the value of nothing.  Money, Money, Money..........
