A judge has awarded a mother “a significant figure for wine” in a child maintenance case in the UK.
Veronica Antonio, who has a 7-year-old son with multimillionaire Christopher Rokos, was seeking £10,555 (over €13,000) per annum to entertain the parents of her child’s friends according to Bloomberg.
While Mr Justice Holman said that the figure she claimed was too high, he still incorporated a budget for wine into the settlement.
He said: “The child is aged seven and does not consume the wine… I should not allow as high a figure as £10,500 per annum for wine, although I do, in my approach, still allow a significant figure for wine.”
It was ruled that Rokos pay Antonio approximately £8,000 a month as part of the dispute over child-custody payments. The exact figure attributed to wine was not disclosed.
The £8,000 is said to be around £4,000 less per month than what Rokos had previously been paying.
The hedge fund manager apparently has assets worth approximately £660m with properties in the likes of Cannes, Miami and New York.
