A hedge fund manager worth around £660million will pay £8,000 a month in child support to the mother of his child.
But that isn’t the real story here. The real story is that the woman in question made a claim that included a £10,500 wine budget.
Now we love wine, but drinking 10-grand-plus of the stuff each month… (Actually, ignore that. Challenge accepted.)
In any case, the judge turned down that particular request because the child the wine was ostensibly for was, well, a child, and therefore not likely to drink it.
He did, however, allow the receipt of a ‘significant figure for wine.’
Hedge fund manager Chris Rokos was before the ruling paying £12,000 per month in child support to Veronica Antonio, Bloomberg reports.
The £4,000 cut from that figure was largely for Uber rides and swimming lessons.
Judge Holman, who made the ruling, clearly felt a little bored by the whole thing.
‘I do not find it very edifying that people in this financial bracket should be taking up a day of court time over a sum which to them, though not to others, is objectively so small,’ he told Bloomberg.
