In our social networked connected world you know that your friends breakup when their Facebook status changes. Similarly, you move one from a former relationship when you stop following your ex. Using social media indicat
ors, it seems that the split between Katy Perry and Russell Brand is permanent as Katy Perry stopped following Russell Brand on Twitter.
It's common for couples that once they break up, separate, or divorce that the person in the relationship that made the most paid some sort of alimony or child support to the other person. But what do you call it when you pay your boyfriend an amount that is more than he makes and is enough for him to take you out on your high maintenance dates? Pre-alimony? Allowance?
It is being reported that Jeniffer Lopez is given her current boytoy, and backup dancer, Casper Smart an allowance of $10,000 a week. It is being reported that JLo's love interest is receiving this allowance with the expatiation that he will spend it on paying for dinners an
d gifts for Jennifer Lopez and her children. Now we can put an amount of money it would take to woo miss JLo.
At $10k/week, Casper Smart, will pocket $40k/month, more than he made as a dancer in all of 2011. If he stays with Jenifer Lopez for the whole year he will be award nearly half a million dollars, launching him into the top 1%. Which begs to question, will he get a W9 from Jenifer Lopez so that he can file his taxes? How will Jenifer Lopez expense this? This is probably more than what Jenifer Lopez spends on nanny services for her children.
If you turn this around and a man paid a retainer of $10/week to his girlfriend, is that considered prostitution? I don't know about you, but I always thought that money can't buy yo love.
