$100,000 in insurance is not enough to buy an $850,000 house, but it would cover a nice downpayment and closing costs.

I find this purchase astonishing. If the VDs have split, where is she supposed to get the money to pay for the mortgage (and the real expense--property taxes) on this house, especially since she doesn't work? I can't imagine it'd be completely paid off. Now, I KNOW for a fact that DvD couldn't possibly pull in that kind of money at QCOM.

He can't. But BvD can sign over her movie & book rights ...

The big pisser is: Brenda is still "married". PDvD gets half of it !

Someone might have already mentioned this downthread--I'm just now logging on and starting to read.

I would hazard a guess that the money is coming from a book and/or "movie of the week" deal. Back when they were holding ~~fund-raisers~~ news conferences pleading for their daughter's return, Brenda was heard asking someone about who would be the best person to represent them in such a deal. This would have been before the time they found Danielle.

I'm sure they found the public donations helpful, but I don't think those would pay for the BMW and the house--even with the insurance money tossed in, unless she was insured for far, far more than we imagine.
