The Ridiculous Amount Brendan Fraser Spends Each Month On Agent Fees And Alimony en-us Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 06:49:24 -0400 Aly Weisman bluuuu Wed, 06 Mar 2013 12:22:52 -0500 why does she STILL get this amount of money? I don't get it. He's making it, she does nothing...she has NO incentive to ever change her life as long as he 'supports' her. What happened to people earning their way? Shouldn't the spousal support payments be lessened over time? 2007 was 6 years ago. How long does she expect to be taken care of by him? It would seem that marriage was once considered for it's obvious that so is divorce??? Holy Moly. :( Cato Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:03:53 -0500 The pet must be a dead goldfish. No other pet could cost so little. ;) sweetdoug Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:50:04 -0500 ' ' ' ' Sucks to be her, eh? Maybe she should have thought about what she was getting into, as one commentator alluded to, with Fraser? And as for all this ranting being pure speculation? Never let the facts get in the way of a good speculative rant! •∆• V-V sweetdoug Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:47:19 -0500 ' ' ' ' What broad in this day and age, should be getting alimony? All we hear is how independent and self-sufficient women are today, eh? If this woman rode the ride on the way up, why can't she ride it on the way down? Oh, yeah: It don't work that way. Stay single, guys… •∆• V-V PANIRUD Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:39:21 -0500 I see he is paying child support, why is he paying alimony? I mean does she know how to work? Her profile shows she hasn't done squat since 2003. I guess if I had $50k coming in each month I'd sit on my @ss too. Equal rights Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:38:47 -0500 IC, so if a woman marries a man with money it is akin to hitting the lottery. Nice gig if you can get it. Is that a career aspiration or just love accidentally? trecer Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:11:04 -0500 No one posting here knows anything about the specific situation between Fraser and his ex-wife, so all this ranting is pure speculation. Granted, the alimony/child support payment might be higher than it needs to be, but the issues of alimony are complicated when there are children involved and when the spouse receiving the alimony is the one with custody. If Fraser's ex-wife has custody, then child support alone isn't going to be enough. Not because she can't life on her own earnings potential and raise the kids with it, but because if she's not an actress or superstar model, then she doesn't have Fraser's level of earning power. And without that earning power, it would essentially mean that the divorce, for the kids, meant suddenly being kicked out of the mansion and forced to live in a house and lifestyle far below what they were used to. It's not like I'm going to weep for these kids, who would be fine, but it would seem VERY strange for the ex and the kids to be suddenly living such a different lifestyle from their Hollywood Dad. Sure, the ex might be perfectly capable of earning her own salary, but divorce should't mean a sudden, drastic lifestyle demotion for the kids while the father continues to live in luxury. Get it? Nolan Kennard Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:43:21 -0500 Let this be a lesson to you all. Now, assuming you ARE already rich, put everything you have made into a variable annuity. What the annuity is invested in is irrelevant: the sub accounts are exactly like mutual funds, so you can have money market, bonds, stocks, international stocks, etc. in it. The variable annuity is like a giant non-deductible IRA with no contribution limit. Why? Because the contents of this variable annuity are always completely immune from CIVIL judgement. No one can ever ever touch this money except YOU. This is how OJ had an income after losing his $30 million civil judgement, he had an NFL pension which is untouchable. After you're married, what you earn is another subject of course. Child support is always unaviodable. I think that instead of making gay marriage legal, marriage itself should be illegal. That of course would bother women too much so it would never ever pass. It's way worse than you can imagine. My friend is divorced in CA and her husband has to pay her alimony IF she ever is unemployed. He remarried and if he and his NEW wife make more money combined than his EX wife, he has to pay his EX wife more because his "household" has higher income! WTF??? Jeff Nolan Mon, 04 Mar 2013 11:59:23 -0500 only $7.77 a month on pet care... well we clearly see who is getting the short end of the stick in this deal. Seriously, the court should lower his alimony because who can reasonably be expected to live on $45k a month before taxes and after childcare. #firstworldproblems jamesxxxxxx Mon, 04 Mar 2013 11:34:42 -0500 If women are equal to men, then they don't need massive alimony payments from men to support them, after all, if they are equal, they can just out and get jobs ... like men ... jamesxxxxxx Mon, 04 Mar 2013 11:33:23 -0500 Aly, you should do an article about how women with no self respect, marrying men and then collecting millions for their prostitution denigrates them in the eyes of themselves, their peers and men, and how it's actually a barrier to equality. Child support? Always. Some alimony to help along? Sure. Alimony for women in their 60's after life-long support? Sure. But this shit? The fact that the press won't bother to address the issues, that you must always stay on the 'men must pay' side of the issue, isn't lost on us. Everyone past the age of 30 has witnesses first hand the insanity and we see how it is poorly treated in the press. Equal Rights Mon, 04 Mar 2013 11:28:11 -0500 Funny how women can revert to the ol poor me I am women syndrome and also blame men for life being unfair. When are women going to invent something useful? Pretty women have it made, ugly women have to work. mike 123 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 11:12:15 -0500 You feel sorry for a guy who makes a quarter a million dollars a month. Greg Mon, 04 Mar 2013 11:10:11 -0500 Yup. Marrying a successful professional should not be treated as the same thing as being a successful professional. At what point in her life is this women going to resume responsibility for her own life? Stupid shit like this is why I will never trust government and will always fight for less and limited government powers. BummerDuck Mon, 04 Mar 2013 11:02:45 -0500 Alimony and Child support should be capped. $50k Alimony + 25k child support a month? That is ridiculous.
