Supermodel Linda Evangelista is asking French billionaire Francois Henri-Pinault for $46,000 a month in child support. He’s the father of Ms. Evangelista’s four-year-old son, Augustin James. And Ms. Evangelista argues that $46,000 is the minimum required to provide for young Augustin in the manner to which he has grown accustomed.

Readers in New York are thinking: “She should ask for more.”

DRIVERS. “He probably needs his own driver since they can’t split one,” Ms. Pearl said. “If he needs to be at school at 8 a.m. and she needs to be out ’til 2 a.m., they have to have two.” So add another another $6,000 to $8,000 a month.
