Linda Evangelista Wants $46,000 A Month From Salma Hayek's Husband

While the sum does seem large, the Post reports that Pinault spends far more on Valentina a month -- he spends $50,000 monthly alone on a $12 million Los Angeles estate held in trust in Valentina's name. Pinault is worth an estimated $11.5 billion.

Ultimately, Evangelista wants $80,000 a year for a full-time nanny. She explained:

"On days when I do not work, I am working on my image. I have to hit the gym. I have beauty appointments. I have to work toward my next job and maintaining my image, just like an athlete. When I work, it can be a 16-hour day."

She also wants $175,000 a year for security -- security she says is necessary for the child of a billionaire.

Pinault's lawyer apparently grilled Evangelista and complained to the judge about her demands, pointing out that the supermodel is worth $8 million on her own.

The judge denied Evangelista's request for $7,500 a month in "vacation expenses," but seemed sympathetic on the security and nanny costs. Said the judge:

"These are the extraordinary expenses that may be a part of the child's life. And if there is a trial [in the support case] with a lot of publicity, there will probably be a need for two detectives to drive this kid around."

Salma has stood by her husband's side since news first broke that he was the father of Envangelista's child.
