Did Kevin Costner’s Wife Christine Baumgartner Really Spend All His $250M Fortune after Realizing Yellowstone Star Will Soon Divorce Her?
After 18 years of marriage, Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner are on their separate ways as they battle in court for divorce settlements. As it is a known fact that Costner’s multi-million dollar net worth has allowed the couple to live a lavish and high-maintenance lifestyle. And this reason might be why the two are still having it out in court.
A certain amount has been demanded by Baumgartner for Costner to pay for child support, but the latter is not ready to pay the amount. According to reports, the Yellowstone actor has claimed that the child support money is actually for Baumgartner’s personal use. And looking at her history of expenses does show the huge expenses she made on luxury alone.
A Look at Christine Baumgartner’s Lavish Lifestyle
Living as a stay-at-home mom since the birth of her first child with Kevin Costner, Christine Baumgartner has enjoyed a lavish lifestyle all on her husband’s money. Although she does have a 7 million dollar net worth of her own, it is extremely small when compared to Costner’s whopping 250 million dollar net worth. And as such, Baumgartner as well as their children have gotten used to a life filled with luxury.
And now that the two are about to split, the main conflict is unsurprisingly related to money. The actor has denied 248,000 dollars/month in child service to his estranged wife. This is based on his claim that Baumgartner has a habit of spending a huge amount on personal luxury which includes cosmetic procedures that cost around 180,000 dollars/month as per court documents.
And as if that’s not enough, she also has an exquisite and expensive taste when it comes to her wardrobe to match the lifestyle she leads. Furthermore even traveling has a significant role to play as the 49-year-old is reported to have jet-setted all over the world regularly.
Additionally, with these travels, there was also the huge cost of private residences and hotels which were undoubtedly equally expensive. And all these expenses of hers were seemingly looked after by her husband’s 250 million dollars net worth.
More On Christine Baumgartner and Kevin Costner’s Ongoing Divorce Battle
Although Kevin Costner and his estranged wife of 18 years Christine Baumgartner, have decided to separate, they have not been able to agree on child support amount. Costner has put forward a fee of 51, 490 dollars/month for child support but Baumgartner has demanded a whopping 248,000 dollars a month.
However, the Yellowstone star has rejected the idea saying the child support fee demanded by his estranged wife is actually for her personal needs such as cosmetic procedures. At the same time, she has refused to leave his Santa Barbara estate as the 49-year-old does not feel financially ready to move out with her children.
