(ABC News) Hedge Fund Owner Could Face $1 Million Monthly Child Support Payments
Ken Griffin filed for divorce last year from his wife Anne after 11 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple is the parents of three children, ages 2, 4 and 7.
In those court filings, Ken Griffin says his estranged wife reported how much it costs to raise their children each month, including $14,000 for food, $300,000 for a private jet, $160,000 for vacations and $2,000 for stationery.
According to Illinois law, children of divorce are entitled to continue the lifestyle they enjoyed during the marriage.
A spokesperson for Dias Griffin told ABC News that her husband is trying to avoid his financial responsibilities to his family. But Griffin said in court papers that he already pays for virtually “every expense related to the children,” and that his estranged wife simply wants him to “continue funding her lifestyle.”
