The Supermodel's Household Savings Plan

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Stephanie Seymour's divorce from media multimillionaire Peter Brant is ongoing, but the case is revealing a wealth of information about the ex-couple's, well, wealth. Every month, Brant spends $500,000 keeping his polo ponies and $30,000 on "household supplies."

Peter has been ordered to begin paying Seymour, his supermodel wife of 16 years, $270,000 a month in alimony and support for their three children. In the global context, $270,000 — every month — is a lot. That sum could buy 900 operations to repair obstetric fistulas in the third world, or pay for 60 new, clean water wells in Kenya. But in the context of Peter Brant and Stephanie Seymour, it's not very much at all.

According to court filings, Brant, who owns a paper company as well as magazines like Interview and Art in America, has assets of $490 million. His net monthly income this year — a pretty bad year for the media — has averaged just over $1.5 million.

Oh joy, the fascination of the division of assets of the super rich.

Divorce settlements are never fair, that's all we need to know.
