A China tour group was unexpectedly attacked in Marseille. 😲

Happen to see Costner last night at dinner - he didn't seem to be in bad spirits. I guess when you are worth $400M, the fact that your wife of 2 decades and mother of 3 of your 6 kids wants a few million bucks a year probably isn't that much of a problem.DiabloWags said:
Kevin Costner's estranged wife gives new meaning to TAKING HIM TO THE CLEANERS!
Costner accused Christine of funding her legal services in their divorce on his dime.
lol
At least Costner donated TWICE as much to charity as Joe and Jill Biden did in 2021.Unit2Sucks said:
But on the plus side, he's incredibly generous with charity - $36k reported last year which is almost as much as he spends on his golf dues.
I have no idea what you could possibly be doing on a monthly basis to rack up that sort of bill. Maybe she had a $2M surgery? That part boggles the mind.DiabloWags said:
Rich people get divorced all the time.
But do they spend $188,000 a month on plastic surgery?
Kevin Costner claims estranged wife Christine spent $188K a month on plastic surgery last year (yahoo.com)
Costner's first wife of 16 years, Cindy Silva got $80 million in their settlement in 1994 because Costner didnt sign a prenup. This time around its different.
It sounds like either he's spinning quite a tale or he has serious liquidity problems and that he can't really afford his lifestyle. The fact that he is complaining about $250k per month for his kids when he has a $145M home and a $60M+ ranch (along with other homes) and has so many other extraordinary expenses says a lot. It's not like he had any problems with their lavish lifestyle during his long marriage but apparently continuing that lifestyle would be astonishing.Quote:
Kevin says "Christine's assertion that our three teenage children 'need' $248,000 ... a month to live is astonishing to me and ... not accurate. Nor can I afford to pay those amounts and pay my living and business expenses without liquidating assets."
Sounds like she signed a prenup and there are guidelines.Unit2Sucks said:
The article also mentions the "guideline" support was $125k but he offered only $38k.
I don't think Costner is going to come out of this ordeal looking like a good guy.
For context, $80 million back in 1994 is now $164 million.bearister said:
He wasn't worth squat when he married his college girlfriend. Everything he earned during their marriage was community property.
The reason she is smiling in the DM photos below is she was probably thinking about how she got a twofer when she dumped him:
1. She got rid of his cheating arse;
2. She got $80M.
*My recollection is that when Steven Spielberg dumped Amy Irving for Kate Capshaw, he asked Amy if a check for $101M would kiss the owie, and Amy said, "Sure, and I'll stay friends for life!"

$17,394 with $5,000 going to the Beau Biden Foundation.

Reinsurance Rates for catastrophic coverage jump as high as 50% to insurance companies effective July 1st
LONDON, July 3 (Reuters) "U.S. property catastrophe reinsurance rates rose by as much as 50% at a key July 1 renewal date, broker Gallagher Re said in a report on Monday, with states such as California and Florida increasingly hit by wildfires and hurricanes.
"Reinsurers insure insurance companies, and have been raising rates in recent years because of steepening losses, which industry players put down in part to the impact of climate change. Higher reinsurance rates can affect the premiums which insurers charge to their customers.
"U.S. reinsurance rates for policies which previously faced claims for natural catastrophes rose 30-50%, Gallagher Re said.
"Reinsurance rates for similar policies in Florida rose 30-40%, the broker added.
"Some insurance firms have pulled out because of the risk of heavy losses. State Farm said in May it would stop selling new insurance policies to homeowners in California.
"In Florida, "all the major carriers (insurers) left and so you ended up with this market which is populated by a large number of very small, very thinly capitalised insurers which is exactly what you don't want," James Vickers, chairman international, reinsurance, at Gallagher Re told Reuters. ..."
What could Newsom have done? Has he been playing his fiddle and running for POTUS while Rome burned?
An aggressive, proactive fire suppression / forest management strategy could have helped. It should have been a top priority, not an afterthought.

Somebody should tell the insurance companies that climate change is the biggest lie and scam in human history.movielover said:

> The reason homeowners insurance is so expensive in Texas is because the state is at worsening risk for a myriad of natural disasters, including hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes and hail, which could damage your home.dajo9 said:
Pretty soon CA and FL homeowners insurance may be as expensive as Texas
