Supermodel Linda Evangelista is asking French billionaire Francois Henri-Pinault for $46,000 a month in child support
The $46,000 per Month Four-Year Old

"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 outside New York are probably thinking: "What's this kid eating?!"
Readers in New York are thinking: "She should ask for more."

To find out how a four-year-old could possibly burn through $46,000 a month in Manhattan, I called Natasha Pearl, president of Aston-Pearl, the New York-based lifestyle-management firm for wealthy families. Here's the breakdown:

CHILDCARE. Forget the nanny. Kids like Augustin need a round-the-clock child-care team, what the wealthy call "full, 24/7 coverage." Ms. Pearl says that requires three nannies, with two rotating on full schedule and another as a backup. "And that third nanny preferably has some specialty skill, like teaching the kid Mandarin," Ms. Pearl said. "And if he's a boy, the third staffer might be a manny to run him around the park and throw him baseballs."

Total cost: About $23,000 a month or more - half the total.


SCHOOL. Augustin is still in preschool, which means that rather than paying the $36,000 to $40,000 a year for private school, Ms. Evangelista only has to pay about $20,000 to $30,000 for a top preschool. That means his school bill - at least for now - is a mere $2,500 a month.

CLOTHING. You can't be the son of Linda Evangelista and the world's luxury king and wear Osh-Kosh. To sheath Augustin in Chloe, Berlingot and Jacadi (and of course, the Gucci kids' line, owned by Pinault) you're looking at $3,000 a month minimum.

EXTRACURRICULARS. Fencing, chess, French lessons, soccer and all the other add-ons that are required for any successful Manhattan four-year-old will easily run another $2,000 to $5,000 a month.

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 $6,000 to $8,000 a month.

So we're already at more than $41,000 and we haven't even gotten to his daily sushi intake, the expense account at F.A.O. Schwarz and the kiddie birthday parties at Top of the Rock.

"At first glance, $46,000 seems like an extraordinary amount and it is," Ms. Pearl said. "But for a fortunate child in New York, it is actually absolutely conceivable that his expenses could approach $50,000 a month."

Steven Meisel and Linda Evangelista, 1990: A Look Back


"A Look Back" is a new, daily column that highlights a moment from fashion's fabulous past. Today's pick is a photo of Steven Meisel and Linda Evangelista from 1990. The photographer/model duo have worked together many times including multiple cover shoots for Vogue Italia in June 1990, March 1994 and August 2009. Both have stayed at the top of the fashion pack for the past two decades, and you can probably see why: just look at Evangelista's cheek bones!.
