💰🎬 “Dances with Wolves” to “Writes Out Checks”: Kevin Costner’s Child Support Showdown Sees a Whopping $129K Monthly Bill 😱
TL;DR: Kevin Costner, the star who Danced with Wolves, now dances with dollars as he’s set to pay an eye-watering $129,755 per month for child support. While it’s only half of what his estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, aimed for, it’s still a jaw-dropping sum. And it’s worth noting, guys, this isn’t advice, okay? So, no getting wild ideas about movie star divorces being a get-rich-quick scheme! 😉
Imagine you were Kevin Costner, multi-millionaire movie star. You’ve danced with wolves, tussled with mobsters, and even built a baseball field in a cornfield because a voice told you to. Now, you’re about to write some of the heftiest checks of your life. Why? Child support, baby! 😅
In a twist that could be straight out of Hollywood, Costner’s set to pay a monthly child support bill of $129,755. Yes, you heard right. Each month. Makes you wonder, how much does a millionaire’s kid’s lunch money actually cost? 🤔
But, before you choke on your coffee, let’s remember this is no done deal yet. A judge has only “tentatively” ruled that Costner should cough up this amount. The ruling is subject to a hearing this Wednesday. But, here’s the kicker – it almost never changes. If you were in Costner’s shoes, would your heart be pounding just a tad faster? 💓
Now, let’s be real – it’s not like Costner can’t afford it. But the figure is only just over half of what Baumgartner was gunning for. She’d originally requested a sweet $248k per month. A sum that Costner’s accountant claimed included over $100k for cosmetic procedures. Would you be asking “Honey, are we re-building your face or buying a Ferrari?”🤷♂️
In this high-stakes poker game of divorce settlements, Costner had initially offered $51,940 per month, a figure he thought was fair and also promised to cover all children’s expenses. But Baumgartner was having none of that, and decided to call his bluff. So, what would you do – fold or go all in? 🃏
Remember folks, this isn’t a manual on how to negotiate divorce settlements or how to navigate the stormy seas of child support. It’s a story about a couple parting ways and finding a common ground for their children.
But it does make you ponder, doesn’t it? If you had to pen a monthly check like Costner’s, would you be dancing with wolves or weeping with walruses? 🕺🐺🆚😭🌊🦭
And with that, let’s leave you with this – if you were in this situation, what’s the price you’d be willing to pay? Is there even a price tag on the welfare of our children? Let the debate begin! 💬
