Girl Loses Allowance and It’s $26,000 a Month and She’s 47 Years Old
New York Magazine ^ | 9/20 | Dan Amira

There's a lot going in this "Page Six" story about wealthy "builder to the stars" Ben Krupinski, whose daughter, former model Laura Krupinski, accused him of having an affair with Martha Stewart. Most interesting is the insight it offers us into the world of the megarich. Firstly, how they feud ...

Page Six has exclusively learned that Krupinski, 66 — worth an estimated $150 million and who counts business moguls Steve Cohen and Leon Black among his clients — has cut off 47-year-old Laura from her $26,000-a-month allowance and thrown her out of a family-owned mansion in Bedford ...

"My dad cut off my monthly allowance in April and kicked me out of the Bedford house. They took away everything I own — all my clothes, even my wedding china."

... and secondly, their complete lack of self-awareness. Because even though the most embarrassing part of the story is a 47-year-old's pouting about losing her exorbitant monthly allowance, Laura Krupinski, the story's primary source, seems to view it as some sort of public-relations victory:

If someone is married and self-sufficient, I see know reason why they shouldn’t have a child at 19.

Wonder if she had to pay taxes? Father was getting rid of money to avoid estate taxes?

‘She’s not getting any more allowance until next month!’

I am actually a little surprised that she was able to get by on only $26,000/month in this economy.

Thank God for Obamacare, think of all the money she will save.

“Martha Stewart is an ex-con. Besides, her voice grates on my last nerve.”

In fairness, she was busted for something our congresscritters do every day.

She was busted for far less than that.

Martha Stewarts only crime was opening her mouth when government douchebagocrats came sniffing for money.

You do have a point.

She was busted because somebody didn’t like her. At worse, they should have fined her and confiscated her gains.
