| Eliot Spitzer's ex-wife Silda takes him to the cleaners |
| 2014-04-29 |
| [DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Eliot Spitzer's ex-wife finally has something to smile about after the details of her multimillion-dollar divorce settlement from the disgraced 'Luv Guv' were revealed today. Silda Wall Spitzer gets a $7.5million payout and to keep her luxury Fifth Avenue apartment in Manhattan as part of the deal. The disgraced New York governor's former wife, who grimly stood by him when his predilection for expensive call girls came to light in 2008, will also receive $240,000-a-year maintenance for life. Thus the term "high maintenance"... |

| #9 It would be funnier if the money he gave her didn't ultimately come from the rest of us. |

| #7 Given his behaviour, that settlement is very reasonable. Being a high ranking politician's wife, like being a corporate executive's wife, is a full-time undertaking. It really does take a couple working together in harness to create a successful senior corporate executive career. |

| #6 These sorts of unreasonable settlements are the reason why women are finding men won't get married. |

| #5 ...will also receive $240,000-a-year maintenance for life. Remember, it was never about equality, it was about power, privilege, and prerogative. Alimony comes from a time when divorce was hard to get and only the rich could afford it because there was no social welfare systems like social security, medicare, et al. Someone had to support the 'weaker sex' as she had no other means of support after years of marriage. |

| #4 And he was initially caught by tighter anti-money laundering bank guidelines. Too much cash coming out of his account and into the various ho accounts. |
