British Model Christina Estrada Wins £75M In Divorce Settlement From Saudi Billionaire Ex-Husband
July 8, 2016 – Former British Model Christina Estrada Wins £75 million In Divorce Settlement From Saudi Billionaire Ex-Husband, Sheikh Walid Juffali
A London High Court today awarded former British model Christina Estrada 75 million pounds settlement from her Saudi billionaire ex-husband after one of the highest-stakes divorce battles of its kind.
According to the U.K Daily Mail, former Pirelli calendar model split from her businessman husband Sheikh Juffali after 13 years of marriage.
Estrada wanted 196 million pounds from businessman Juffali to meet her ‘reasonable needs’, which included two luxury houses, a huge clothes budget and five cars.
The 54-year-old model had earlier rejected a settlement offer which would have given her about 37 million pounds to live on.
She was awarded a 53 million pounds cash settlement at London’s High Court with lawyers saying the payout was worth 75 million pounds when assets she had already been given were taken into account.
The awards means Ms Estrada, who already had a home in Beverly Hills, would get 2.5 million pounds to spend each year as well as 18 million pounds to buy a lavish property in London.
The cash payout works out at more than 4.4 million pounds for every year of her 12-year marriage to 61-year-old Juffali.
The case astonished many after Ms Estrada claimed her ‘needs’ included one million pounds for clothes, 40,000 pounds for fur coats, 109,000 pounds for haute couture dresses and 21,000 pounds for shoes every year.
She also said she needed enough from her ex-husband to afford a luxury home in London worth about 60 million pounds, and a 4.4 million pounds house in the country at Henley.
Besides, she also demanded for 495,000 pounds for five cars, three in London and two in the U.S.
Her lawyers said on Friday that the award she received today was “by more than 50 million pounds the largest needs award ever made by an English court’’.

What men lose when they divorce has resulted in more frequent divorces. Women have now seen it as a kind of business. When CR7 paid off the mother of his son for £10m, I thought it was huge. Now see what is HUGE here. It is no gain saying that women are gold diggers, at least, most of them. Hardly will you find a woman who goes for plain love these days.

WELL, FIRSTLY, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PLAIN LOVE, EVERYONE MARRY S FOR A REASON, I ALWAYS ENCOURAGE MY FEMALE/MALE FAMILY MEMBERS TO DATE/MARRY FOR A GOOD REASON, AND “LOVE” IS NOT A GOOD REASON TO GET MARRY TO A PERSON THAT CAN’T DO ANYTHING FOR YOU FINANCE WISE, THE DAYS OF SO CALL PURE LOVE ARE LONG GONE….MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GOES AROUND TODAY…
AND I ALSO THINK A SPOUSE SHOULD GET HIS/HER DUES/WORTH WHEN THE MARRIAGE ENDS ESPECIALLY WHEN KIDS ARE INVOLVE..10M OR 75M POUNDS ARE CHUMP CHANGE TO THIS FOLKS WHEN YOU ARE A BILLIONAIRE…

Makes sense that if one has to live unhappily ever after due to divorce, such unhappiness be cushioned by some comfort rather than hardship.na wa!!!

That is why they get married to rich men in d first place, just for d divorce payout. At least she tried small stayg with him for 14yrs.
The rich men are now gettg wise by drawing out prenups before their marriage, so as to protect them from such gold diggers.

A White lady is never my best option for marriage neither would I encourage any of my enemies to consider.
Apart from the fact that most of them dont make a good wife, they are likely more fraud inclined to quit the marriage just like that and there is nothing anybody including you the unfortunate hubby can do abt it. That is that.
I take a stroll..
