Raising kids is getting expensive—especially if they're used to taking private jets to their five homes.

In an escalating divorce battle, Chicago hedge-fund billionaire Ken Griffin says in court papers his wife, Anne Dias Griffin, wants $1 million a month for child-related expenses.

How can three kids under age 10 cost $1 million a month?

Ken Griffin and Anne Dias Griffin attended the Whitney Museum of American Art's fall gala in New York in 2011.

In his filing, Griffin said Dias is demanding money for her own lifestyle "under the guise" of the children's expenses.

  He said those include $300,000 a month for private-jet travel, $160,000 a month for vacation rentals and $60,000 a month for office space and professional staff.

  In a statement, Dias said the filing is "riddled with falsehoods and just another vindictive attempt by Ken Griffin—Illinois' richest billionaire—to punish his family and avoid his clear responsibility under Illinois law to maintain his children's lifestyle."

  Dias's statement doesn't dispute the dollar numbers. But she said Griffin is refusing to give the kids "the support to which they are accustomed and entitled under Illinois law."

  Sources close to Dias say the nearly $1 million a month was not a demand by Dias, but an accounting of the couple's child-related expenses while they were married. If so, those expenses would likely be required to continue after the divorce under Illinois law.


芝加哥投资银行「Citadel」的富豪CEO去年向结缡11年的妻子提出离婚，两人的离婚近日却变成一场法庭闹剧。由於下堂妻要求每月100万元的赡养费，这位身家近50亿元的巨富不得不予以反击，指控其利用子女牟取天价赡养费，盼法官「轻判」。

46岁的对冲基金老板葛立芬（Ken Griffin）与妻子安娜．葛立芬（Anne Griffin）结婚11年，育有三名不到十岁的子女。葛立芬近日在离婚法庭上指出，安娜是在利用子女给自己争取每月百万元的赡养费。

「每日邮报」报导，安娜因离婚获得的财富达3500万元，但她还要求葛立芬每月为她的私人飞机花费支付30万元，为假日住宿支付16万元，并为每月的日常杂货、餐饮及办公和文具等费用支付7万多元。

面对葛立芬的指控，安娜发声明回应说，葛立芬的控诉充满「虚伪与不实」，声称这位伊利诺最具财力的亿万富翁，「试图藉此惩罚家人，并逃脱保持子女高生活品质的责任」。她并未在声明中讨论具体金额，只说「葛立芬拒绝为孩子们已习以为常、且受法律保护的生活品质提供资金保障」。

葛立芬则坚称愿为孩子付出所有，但安娜是想利用孩子的赡养费来维持自己的奢华生活。他强调，即便如此，他为安娜个人开销提供的资助也「仁至义尽」，包括帮她支付私人厨师、住房清洁及私人助手等的工资。目前葛立芬正寻求对孩子的共同抚养权，安娜则希望由她单独抚养。
