Why Linda’s $46K Child Support Request Is Kind Of Reasonable

Earlier this week we learned the shocking amount of money Linda Evangelista is fighting to get in child support from her baby daddy Francois-Henri Pinault. And while at first glance the $46,000 a month the model is demanding might seem just a little excessive, the Wall Street Journal has managed to find away to make all the needs of little Augustin James seem downright appropriate.

In a segment for the financial paper, Natasha Pearl, president of a lifestyle management firm in New York, tallied the expenses needed to help Linda’s son maintain the lavish life to which he’s become accustomed.

To wit: the monthly payments for four-year-old Auggie’s three nannies alone total over $23,000 a month and the boy’s driver costs a hefty $10,000 to employ. And naturally, it’s only appropriate that Evangelista’s son be decked out in designer duds, so Pearl predicted a minimum of $3,000 for a monthly fashion budget. Finally, Augustin’s education rings up at around $2,500 a month and Pearl estimated sports, tutoring, and other extra-curriculars would total to anywhere between $2,000 and $5,000.

They say you can’t put a price on parenthood but in this case, it’s apparently very, very expensive.

Watch Pearl break down her estimates for Auggie’s monthly spending — $41,000 without food, toys, rent, or vacations accounted for! — below:

    It’s time all these diva’s learn to live like normal people.  Put them on public assistance and food stamps for a bit and let them have a reality check.

    Linda, if you need someone to tie your sons shoes, I’m qualified.  I charge $10,000 per shoe.  You should hire me, really, I’m that good.

    why does her kid need THREE nannies and his own driver? this is just obscene

    as a mother, I’m so tired of hearing about these rich lazy parents who pay others to do *everything* for them

    $46K is more than a lot of people make in an entire year, I have trouble having any respect for Linda after hearing all this
