A SUPERMODEL BY THE NAME OF CHRISTINA ESTRADA IS SUING
HER EX-HUSBAND, A VERY WEALTHY SAUDI MAN, FOR A WHOPPING
$262 MILLION.
THEY HAVE DIVORCED BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THIS WEALTHY SAUDI
MAN HAS DECIDED TO MARRY A 25-YEAR-OLD
WHILE HE'S MARRIED TO CHRISTINA ESTRADA.
OBVIOUSLY IN SAUDI ARABIA YOU CAN DO THAT, YOU CAN HAVE
MULTIPLE WIVES; IT'S THE MORAL THING TO DO.
THEY CARE A LOT ABOUT MORALITY.
BY THE WAY, IN THEIR BOOK THAT IS PERMISSIBLE, AND SO THEY
THINK, YET WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
THAT'S THE MOST MORAL THING YOU CAN DO, MARRIED SEVERAL WIVES.
THIS STORY IS SO BANANAS!
LENNY GIVE YOU THE DETAILS.
SHE ACTUALLY REJECTED A SETTLEMENT OF $49
MILLION BECAUSE SHE'S LIKE, THAT IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO KEEP
UP WITH MY FABULOUS LIFESTYLE, RIGHT?
IF YOU'VE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO A LIFESTYLE WHERE $49 MILLION
IS NOT ENOUGH, BOY THAT'S A HELL OF A LIFESTYLE MAN.
AND PEOPLE WONDER WHY, SOMETIMES THE UBER RICH GET UNDER OUR
SKIN.
ANYWAYS.
O GOD, IT GETS WORSE.
SHE'S SEEKING ALMOST $262 MILLION IN COMPENSATION FOR HER
MARRIAGE TO DR.
WALID JUFFALI, A 61-YEAR-OLD SAUDI BILLIONAIRE.
TO BE FAIR, HE IS A
BILLIONAIRE.
HERE'S WHAT SHE SAID IN COURT: "I AM CHRISTINA ESTRADA.
I WAS AN INTERNATIONAL MODEL.
I HAVE LIVED THIS LIFE, THIS IS WHAT I'M ACCUSTOMED TO."
I'VE LIVED THIS LIFE, I HAVE LIVED IT.
THIS IS WHAT DRIVES ME CRAZY ABOUT THE SUPERRICH.
NOT ALL OF THEM, BUT THE SNOBBY ONES LIKE THIS.
YOU HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO THIS LIFE.
I HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO LIVING ñ I HAVE BECOME
ACCUSTOMED TO PAYING MY RENT, UNTIL I COULDN'T AFFORD IT.
CENK AND I HAVE A WORKING
RELATIONSHIP.
LET'S SAY I LEAVE FOR WHATEVER REASON, I QUIT OR YOU FIRE ME.
WHEN I TAKE YOU TO COURT AND SAY I HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO
GETTING PAID THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY?
IT'S ABSURD.
BUT YOU HAVE TO GET TO THE DETAILS.
SHE HAS TO SPECIFY WHY IT IS THAT SHE DESERVES THAT
AMOUNT OF MONEY.
SO, IN COURT ESTRADA STATED HER DEMANDS FOR $73 MILLION FOR
PROPERTY AND ONE $.3 MILLION A YEAR FOR CLOTHES.
WELL I MEAN, THIS IS THE LIFE SHE'S LIVED.
INCLUDING $43,000 FOR FOUR COATS.
YOU ARE A BAD, BAD PERSON.
HUNDRED AND $46,000 FOR HAUTE COUTURE, DRESSES.
BY THE END IT SEEMS REASONABLE.
THIS IS, BY THE WAY, EVERY YEAR.
IT GETS BETTER.
I HAVE MORE DETAILS, BUT YOU LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS, I MEAN,
LIKE, WOW.
$146,000 FOR HAUTE COUTURE.
WHO EVEN HAS THAT IN THEIR LIFE SAVINGS?
YOU ARE A FUCKING TERRIBLE PERSON.
I DON'T EVEN A HOW TO PRONOUNCE THAT, LET ALONE SPEND
$146,000 ON IT.
EVERY YEAR.
YOU SPEND THAT AND THEN IT'S LIKE, NEXT YEAR OBVIOUSLY I NEED
A NEW ROUND OF $146,000 WORTH OF CLOTHING.
IF YOU'RE SUCH A GREAT INTERNATIONAL SUPERMODEL,
GO OUT AND DO MODELING TO MAKE THAT MONEY.
THIS IS THE LIFE YOU'VE LIVED.
BY THE WAY, SHE WAS MARRIED FOR 13 YEARS.
I DON'T KNOW THE DYNAMICS OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP, I'M NOT
MAKING A JUDGMENT ON THAT.
I THINK THAT IF THEY ARE DIVORCING, SHE DESERVES
SOMETHING.
I'M NOT SAYING YOU DON'T DESERVE ANYTHING, BUT TO LOOK AT $46
MILLION AND LIKE, POO-POO AT THAT BECAUSE IT'S NOT
ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH YOUR LAVISH LIFESTYLE IS SO OUT
OF TOUCH, I CAN'T STAND IT.
"ESTRADA BROKE DOWN WHEN SHE RELATED HER DAUGHTER TELEPHONING
TO SAY, "MOMMY, YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE ME A POOR GIRL."
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND HER PAIN, IMAGINE IF THEY COULD
ONLY SETTLE FOR $49 MILLION.
MOMMY, WHAT WILL WE EVER DO?
THIS IS THE LIFE WE'VE LIVED.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY'RE BRITISH ALL OF A SUDDEN.
SHE SAID SHE'D FOUND A HOME IN LONDON SETON SQUARE FOR
$73 MILLION THAT WOULD COST ANOTHER $8.7
MILLION TO DECORATE AS SHE WISHED.
I MEAN, IF I CAN'T PUT $8.7 MILLION WORTH OF
DECORATIONS TO MY $73 MILLION HOUSE, WHY BOTHER HAVING IT?
IT GETS WORSE.
"ANOTHER PROPERTY, COSTING A .7 MILLION WAS DISMISSED BY HER
BECAUSE IT MEANT ESTRADA WOULD HAVE TO SHARE A FLOOR WITH HER
STAFF."
I DO DECLARE, THE STAFF ON THE SAME FLOOR?
AN OUTRAGE!
ABSOLUTELY NOT, THIS IS NOT THE LIFE I'VE LIVED.
AND A LIST OF OTHER DEMAND
AND A LIST OF OTHER DEMANDS.
IF I PUT MY $95.9 MILLION NEEDED FOR A COUNTRY HOME.
HOW MONEY HOMES DO NEED GIRL?
$454,000 FOR STAFF.
$647 TO RENT A YACHT FOR TWO WEEKS ñ
I WONDER WHAT THAT OF STAFF SHE MEANS.
SHE DOESN'T EVEN OWN THE ART, THAT'S JUST RENT.
$6439 TO TIP THE CREW.
I WANT TO BE ON THE CREW NOW.
$330,000 FOR A PARIS HOLIDAY.
YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU GO TO PARIS FOR UNDER $330,000?
ARE YOU GOING TO BE IN PARIS FOR 15 YEARS?
$99,000 FOR THE NANNY'S ROOM.
WHICH OTHER PEOPLE CALL THEIR HOUSE.
MY GOD.
HERE'S THE THING, WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THEIR
RELATIONSHIP, I'M NOT IN
THE GAME OF DEFENDING SAUDI
BILLIONAIRES.
I DO HAVE A LOT OF CIVIL BEFORE THEM.
IF YOU ARE DIVORCED AND YOU ARE MARRIED TO A SUPER RICH
GUY, YOU GET TO ASK FOR A LOT OF MONEY, THAT THE SYSTEM ALL
OVER THE WORLD, RIGHT OR WRONG.
YOU KNOW HISTORICALLY THAT I THOUGHT IT'S A LITTLE BIT
OF A CRIME, BUT THE INSANELY RICH HAVE TO HAVE A LITTLE
BIT BETTER TAX THAN TO DO THIS PUBLICLY.
BUT THEY DON'T GET IT, THEY LIVE IN THEIR OWN BUBBLE.
THEY REALLY DO BELIEVE, THIS IS AN OUTRAGE, HOW COULD
ANYONE LIVE OFF $49 MILLION?
BECAUSE EVERYONE A NO IS A BILLIONAIRE, OR HAS
HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
TO THEM, THE IDEA OF LIVING ON THE SAME FLOOR AS THEIR
FUCKING STAFF?
WHAT AN OUTRAGE THAT IS!
BUT THEN, YOU CAN'T TURN AROUND AND COMPLAIN WHEN WE SAY,
APPARENTLY THERE'S A LITTLE EXTRA ROOM TO TAX THE RICH.
NOT ONLY THAT, I WANT TO CHANGE, OR CORRECT THE
MISCONCEPTION THAT WEALTHY PEOPLE HAVE ALL EARNED IT
AND THEY'RE ALL SMARTER THAN US.
HERE'S THE THING, IF I EVER, EVER IN MY LIFE CAME ACROSS
$49 MILLION ñ WHICH IS WHAT SHE REJECTED, BECAUSE IT WASN'T
ENOUGH FOR HER ñ I WOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO INVEST THAT
MONEY AND MAKE THAT MONEY WORK FOR ME.
BUT SHE'S A FUCKING DUMB ASS.
SO SHE'S LIKE, $49 MILLION?
BUT I'M GOING TO USE THAT FOR 12
PRODUCT BAGS AND THEN WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
NO, YOU'RE AN IDIOT.
SO, NOT ALL WEALTHY PEOPLE ARE THESE HARD-WORKING,
INTELLIGENT INDIVIDUALS THAT WE NEED TO APPLAUD AND TREAT
AS IF THERE GOD'S GIFT TO HUMANITY.
A LOT OF THEM ARE JUST FUCKING IDIOTS.
THERE IS ONE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
HE INHERITED $200
MILLION FROM HIS DADDY AND THEN SQUANDERED A LOT OF IT AND
RUNS AROUND PERTAINING TO BE A BILLIONAIRE AND VERY
SUCCESSFUL AS HE BANKRUPTS COMPANIES OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
I KNOW THIS IS NOT A CASE IN THE UNITED STATES, BUT AT THE SAME
TIME, THEY ARE GETTING FLATS IN THE UK AND IT DOES INVOLVE THE
SAME KIND OF IDEAS IN THE UK AS THE U.S.
OFTEN TIMES WHEN YOU SAY, HEY IF WE RAISE TAX ON THE RICH A
LITTLE BIT CAN FIND OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYBODY.
THE POOR, THE MIDDLE CLASS, GIVE THEM EDUCATION AND THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME RICH.
BUT THERE'S THIS IDEOLOGY THAT ANA REFERRED TO, IF YOU ARE
POOR YOU DESERVE IT, YOU DIDN'T WORK HARD ENOUGH.
NOW, YOU COULD HAVE BEEN BORN IN A FAMILY, OR A FAMILY IN A SHACK
OR IN A ONE-BEDROOM APARTMENT IN THE MIDDLE OF A GIANT CITY.
WELL THAT IS NOT EVEN.
I DON'T NEED TO MAKE THE WHOLE WORLD EVEN, NO, I JUST WANT TO
GIVE THAT KID WHO WAS BORN IN A SHACK OR DEPARTMENT A FAIR SHOT.
IT'S THAT SIMPLE, IT'S OPPORTUNITY.
NO ONE IS HANDING ANYONE ANYTHING, IT'S JUST MAKING SURE
THAT SOCIETY HAS THE TOOLS NECESSARY TO EQUALIZE PEOPLE,
YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY ARE BORN, SO THEY HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO GET
THEMSELVES OUT OF A BAD SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS.
WE USED TO HAVE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE UNITED
STATES, AND SLOWLY BUT SURELY THEY'VE BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM US.
SO THE NEXT TIME SOMEONE TELLS YOU, NO NO, THE RICH
ARE THE HARDEST WORKING PEOPLE AND THEY DESERVE EVERYTHING
THEY HAVE, AND THE POOR ARE BUMS AND THEY DESERVE
NOTHING, REMEMBER THIS CASE.
SOMETIMES THE RICH WORKED REALLY HARD AND THEY DESERVE IT,
SOMETIMES THEY MARRIED AN ARAB SHEIK AND A THINK, WHAT AM I
GOING TO DO UNLESS I HAVE $693,000 TO RENT A YACHT?
TRUST ME, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE ROOM TO TAX THE RICH.
