Marie Douglas-David on Why She Deserves $100M Divorce

Marie Douglas-David, the 33-year-old beauty in a divorce battle with her rich, 66-year-old estranged husband, opened up to the New York Post’s Andrea Peyser this week.
Douglas-David looked naturally beautiful with no makeup, a loose T-shirt, sweater and, of course, Louboutin pumps, as she detailed the emotional roller coaster that was her seven-year marriage to George David, Chairman of United Technologies. In an exclusive interview with the Post’s blunt columnist, Douglas-David argues why she deserves more than the reported $43 million she’s entitled to in the prenuptial agreement. What we found most troubling was when Douglas-David said her husband would constantly ridicule her for not reproducing. Peyser reports:
He filed for divorce four times during their loopy, seven-year marriage. But the separations ended, sometimes hours later, with bouts of crazy sex.He also, she says, became something of a baby Nazi. As her biological clock ticked down, he taunted her with, ‘If you improve and behave, you can have in-vitro fertilization.’
Then, as her 35th birthday approached, she said, he called her a ‘failure’ for not producing a child.
‘He didn’t want to be associated with a failure,’ she said.
Now, Douglas-David fights her future ex-husband in a Hartford court. She’s looking to take David for a whopping $100 million. With an age gap this wide, and a sum this large amid this topsy-turvy economy, this split has become one of the greediest, messiest divorces of the century.

Take the dough, baby, and scoot away on your stilettos for the nearest baby daddy. You can always find another rich megacreep.

andrea….So totally agree with your assertion. 100 Mil, Puleeeez, you’re lucky to have been offered the sum you were in the pre-nup!
I think the 100M figure is more about sticking it to him than her actual "need" to have that money to live on. Seriously, I’m sure she could "adjust her lifestyle" a bit to accomodate a 43M fortune, but if those allegations are true, then I think 7 years of hurt feelings and anger are at the helm and cracking that whip right at his wallet.
Or maybe she’s bidding high, that way they’ll "settle" for 75M or something…Or maybe she’s jealous of Amy Irving and Juanita Jordan’s divorce settlements and wants to make it into the 100M club?
One thing is for sure, we’ll all know how much she gets in the end, because the post seems to be hyperventilating over this story. Oooh the dirty, dirty lives of the very rich!
