Supermodel Linda Evangelista Demands $46,000 a Month in Child Support From Salma Hayek's Husband: Reasonable or Excessive?

The supermodel who once refused to wake up for less than $10,000 a day now refuses to settle for less than $46,000 a month in child support.

Linda Evangelista, 46, went to Manhattan Family Court on Monday to demand that French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault -- who happens to be Salma Hayek's husband -- pay up for their 4-year-old son, The New York Post reports.

However, the plot thickens.

Pinault reportedly hooked up with Evangelista when he was on a break from (and before he married) Hayek.

His daughter with Hayek, Valentina, is 3 years old.

While Pinault spends $50,000 a month for a $12 million Los Angeles estate held in trust in Valentina's name, the CEO of French luxury brand PPR has not spent a penny on Augustin James, his son with Evangelista, the Post reports.

Some of the model's demands include:

--$80,000 a year for a 24-hour nanny

--Gun-toting drivers who are former police detectives (at a cost of $175,000 per year)

--$7,500 for monthly "vacation" expenses (which the judge nixed)

Evangelista's demands do seem a bit extreme for a woman who is worth more than $8 million. But Pinault's family is said to be worth about $11.5 billion. You'd think he could cough up a few grand for his son.

    This sounds like this is more about Evangelista seeking revenge on her former lover, and making him pay for not marrying her, than it is about child support. These people do not even have a clue about how the real world lives.

    That goes way beyond unreasonable. I really don't care how much a person makes: $46,000 a month? Seriously? A month? These people are getting crazier by the seconds. Kids may be expensive, but they certainly aren't that expensive. What do you even do with $46,000 a month? Buy your kid its own private park? Five diamond-encrusted pacifiers?

    child support is based off a simple calculator, combining the yearly incomes (not total worth) of both parents and then looking at the percent each parent would contribute to the total.
    it's so simple because social workers have to use it.
    she's got plenty of money, anything more is just gold-digging--but this chick's a rich-bitch anyhow.

    and anyone who needs a 24-hour nanny without being deployed overseas needs to be looking for a better parent for the child; kids need parents, not nannies!

    Don't get me wrong, he should pay for his son. But a child doesn't need that much a month. Ten thousand would be more reasonable. It's still excessive but with his income he can afford it. Disgusting really.

    Wow, he could, and should, cough up for his son, but $46,000? Why does the kid need former police detectives as drivers? Shuldn't the mum who already gets a minimum of $10,000 a day pay for that extra and unnecessary expense? I would hope that he got to see his son after paying that much per month on child support.

    Child support is based on what the supporting parent can afford. There are laws for this and the courts will sort it out. It has nothing to do with her or her income really. He is responsible for that child.

    Watch out US citizens you are responsible no matter where you go on the planet...its in the small print.

    She is entitled to child support but its very excessive. Both parents are wealthy so maybe the better idea would be to set up a trust fund for their child instead of arguing over expenses.
