Countess Divorce: Marie Douglas-David Asks For $100 Million In Divorce Trial

Maria Douglas-David is asking for a $100 million in her divorce from former United Technologies CEO George David. Douglas-David, a Swedish countess who used to work as an investment analyst (More like investment analrapist. High five!), says she cannot live on the paltry $38 million offered by her husband as part of their initial divorce settlement.

Douglas-David, who is 36, has asked the judge to throw out her prenuptial agreement -which grants her  $38 million in cash, stock and a Park Avenue apartment - on the grounds that she was coerced into signing it by her now 66-year-old husband. 

Both Douglas and Douglas-David have accused the other of cheating, and David-Douglas says that each time David has tried to divorce her in the past - four times over the course of seven years, in fact - he would use sex to control her. Are you sure it was his shriveled Bengay-smelling balls and not his MASSIVE, THROBBING WEALTH that was controlling you? 

Douglas-David says she is entitled to this money because she has no income of her own, but has expenses that add up to $53,000 a week. Some of this money goes to maintaining homes in Manhattan, the Hamptons and Sweden. The rest is split among  her personal assistant ($2,200 a week), hair and skin care ($1,000 a week), flowers ($600), clothing ($4,500) and travel ($8,000). 

In order to obtain the money for such necessities, David-Douglas is not above dragging her estranged husband’s name through the mud, even alleging that he once told her a woman in her mid-30s without a child is a “failure,” and he did not “want to be associated with failures.” 

So how are you unemployed bastards out there doing? Cutting back on your $600-a-week flower habit, no? How terribly embarrassing for you.
