Christine Baumgartner finally agreed to leave Kevin Costner’s sprawling Santa Barbara estate—on one very expensive condition. Per People, the mom-of-three said she’ll go if Costner agrees to pay her $248,000 monthly in child support.
In court documents, Baumgartner claimed that a quarter of a million dollars “is less than the amount needed to maintain the children in their accustomed lifestyle.” Baumgartner’s financial support calculations include the cost of regular trips to the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Aspen and paying for private chefs to cater at dinner parties. She also demanded that Costner pay 100% of the fees to cover the kids’ private-school tuition, extracurricular activities/sports, and health-care expenses.
The Insider reports that Costner hit back, claiming his estranged wife was “fundamentally dishonest” with her “inflated costs.” He also alleged that Baumgartner spent $188,000 a month on plastic surgery procedures last year—which begs the question, how is that even possible? He asked the court to dismiss her demand, insisting that $248,000 a month far exceeds the amount needed to support their kids.
