NY Gov. Spitzer's Wife Settles Divorce


[From article]
Other perks of the 56-year-old's deal include a new car 'no more than every five years', a housekeeper, accountant, unspecified 'entertainment and activities expenses', a $100,000-per-year charity donation and a part-time assistant.
Mr Spitzer will also take care of his former wife's medical insurance and health care.
Although the multimillionaire does not have to pay child support to Silda for their daughters - Elyssa, 24, Sarabeth, 21, and Jenna, 19 - he must take care of 100 per cent of their medical, dental and college expenses.
The former couple agreed to shared use of their $5million upstate New York farm. However the divorce agreement states that the 'choice of visitors' cannot cause their daughters any emotional distress or embarrassment.
The Spitzers divorce was finalized in February this year and it was agreed that Silda would receive the first $1million within 180 days.
Another $1million will follow on the service of their divorce judgement and then at least $500,000 ever year unless the former politician decides to pay his ex a lump sum.
The annual $240,000 maintenance payment will come to Silda after her former husband has paid the taxes. It will continue until she either remarries or dies.

Eliot Spitzer, who is worth an estimated $46million, comes from a real estate fortune built by his father Bernard Spitzer.
He had earnings of $4.2million for 2012 while Silda Wall Spitzer brought home $112,000 as an executive at NewWorld Capital Group, a private equity firm investing in new energy.
