While some of us may be sleeping on bread and butter, a bitter divorcee demanded a £10 million payout from her ex-husband to meet her ‘reasonable needs’  and this included a £5 million property in London, reports UK MailOnline.
The website says: “In the acrimonious divorce battle played out in the High Court, the judge heard how the couple were married in 1997 and split in 2008, and the wife received an £8m payout the following year.
But she now has only £4.685m of that left, and returned to court to demand more money and a house, telling the judge she could not live outside Kensington because she felt ‘frightened’ of ‘less opulent’ areas.”
That just that, she also asked the court for £25,000-a-year for holidays and weekends away and £10,000-a-year for therapy from her ex-husband.
The woman who cannot be named for legal reasons’ requests were refused by the judge-Mrs Justice Roberts but she was granted a £2.5 million housing fund and ordered the husband – who is worth £33million – to pay her a further £1.15m.

Mrs Justice Roberts said: ‘The house (the wife wants) is a five-storey house with potentially five or six bedrooms, five of which have en suite bathrooms.

‘It is situated in prime central Kensington…an exclusive and sought after residential location. The wife said she had felt insecure and frightened when she ventured out of Kensington.

‘The alternative property particulars put forward by the wife range from £4.65m to £5m. All of the properties are in central Kensington or Notting Hill Gate.

‘The particulars relied on by the husband are in Fulham, Shepherds Bush or Battersea.

‘He submits that whilst his sample is – from the wife’s perspective – situated in less opulent areas, all the properties are in respectable and established family residential areas.’
