A former Miss Russia and a top American businessman have finally emerged from a divorce likened to a boxing match by the Judge on the case.
Ekaterina Parfenova and Richard Fields have been embroiled in an increasingly bitter divorce, with her asking for £60,000 per year for hairdressers and beauty treatments alone, and him suggesting that she could live somewhere cheaper than the uber-rich areas of London she was used to.
Their previous luxury lifestyle together included Maserati, Range Rover and BMW cars, a cook, a cleaner and two nannies as well as top restaurants and expensive jewellery.
The Judge, Mr Justice Holman, said “There are no winners and no losers. You’ve not got as much as you [Ms Parfenova] wanted, and he’s having to pay more than he wished to pay. What I sincerely hope is that each of you take away the lesson of this bruising experience. It was a boxing match. It wasn’t edifying.”
Meanwhile, Mr Fields has already spent £30,000 on an antique ring for his ‘soon-to-be’ wife no. 6, and Ms Parfenova has said that her financial strategy for the future is to find another rich husband.
She also claimed that her ‘fight for justice’ had been a struggle on behalf of abandoned mothers and children everywhere.
As she received a settlement worth £3.3m and the legal costs ran to over £1m might I suggest that she’s not really that abandoned?
