Marie Douglas-David, the estranged wife of United Technologies Corp.’s former CEO and current board Chairman George David, says that her weekly expenses run more than $53,000, documents filed in the couple’s divorce case show.

How does Douglas-David, 36, rack up those expenses week after week?

Real estate accounts for a lot of it, including mortgage, maintenance fees, rent or other costs for a Park Avenue apartment, a Hamptons residence and several properties in Sweden.

But travel ($8,000), clothing ($4,500), hair and skin care ($1,000), dry cleaning ($650) and flowers ($600), among many other items, contribute to the total. Those are weekly expenses?

David’s attorney…said that the argument should not center on how much money David has, but on a contested post-nuptial agreement that earmarks $43 million for Douglas-David upon divorce. “She has $43 million,” said Dranginis. “She is not destitute. She has a lot of money, more than she will ever need, no matter what the outcome.”

Is this why some of these corporate bozos need outrageous salaries?

    Pretty much so. Many of their wives believe that they’re entitled to everything and their arrogance gets even bigger (if that’s possible) when you combine middle-age and a higher education.

    When he buys a house she says “my house.” When he buys a car she says “my car.” When he gets a puppy she says “my puppy.” And the list goes on and on and on.. This is one of the reasons they cheat their wives, they want sex without the BS that comes with living with a self-entitled old wife.

    AND I’ll say it again, gay sex is better.

    Rich said, on December 19th, 2008 at 1:08 pm She’s taking money she didn’t earn
    What makes you think she did not earn it?
    Did GMCs boss earn his salery?

    AND I’ll say it again, gay sex is better.

    AND I’ll disagree.

    Being straight however, I do admit some bias.
