Stupid CEO

George David, last year at the age of 66, stepped down as the CEO of United Technologies(Carrier, Hamilton Sundstrand, Otis, Pratt & Whitney,Sikorsky, UTC Fire & Security, UTC Power), where he's still the Chairman of the Board.
Rich & powerful, should have reasonable intelligence, right?

Hah... in 2002 he married Marie Douglas, a 36 year old investment banker and Swedish Countess. Striking, blond, trophy wife, for sure.

By 2004 the marriage was in trouble and after a series of reconciliations, she signed a post-nuptial agreement that gives her $43 million dollars should the marriage end.

Now the marriage has ended and he's offering her the $43 million plus $53,000 a MONTH alimony. But the lady says nay nay, she has no income and couldn't possibly survive on that pittance. She wants, no needs, $100 million plus $130,000 a MONTH alimony.

Now how did a guy that was smart enough to make it to CEO and Chairman of this huge mega-corporation get conned by this gold digger?

Ask Paul McCartney, I daresay he could cast some light on the subject.

Heh...I read the court proceedings on that divorce, thanks to an attorney friend in the commonwealth. How obvious was that scam from day one?

Hell it happens to lots of older men. I fell for a girl 26 years younger than me & she took me to the cleaners. You would think I knew better. I have over 25 years in law enforcement, but........

I'd like to take a peek at the poosie that's worth $100,000,000+. It must be made of gold.

I'd like to live for a week on that poor lass's budget. Might be hard to get used to my regular life afterwards, tho.

This (supposedly-) clever CEO bagged himself a trophy wife ... and didn't get a pre-nup?

Do you think a pre-nup would stand up any better than a post-nup?
