Linda Evangelista

Linda Evangelista - the supermodel who once who once boasted she didn't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day - raised a few eyebrows after demanding a record $46,000 a month in child support from billionaire luxury goods boss Francois-Henri Pinault (also Salma Hayek's husband).

Linda, herself worth an estimated £5 million, requested the eye-watering sum for around-the-clock childcare for Augustin James, her four-year-old son with Pinault. Justifying the request, Evangelista reasoned, "When I work, it can be a 16-hour day. On days when I do not work, I am working on my image; I have to hit the gym. I have beauty appointments. I have to work toward my next job and maintaining my image, just like an athlete."
