Getty Divorce -- Why I Need $300,000 Per Month ...

Posted Mar 25th 2010 12:12AM by TMZ Staff

The billionaire grandson of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty is in the middle of a nasty divorce from his wife -- a wife who claims she needs millions to maintain a lifestyle that makes Paris Hilton look like a homeless person.

The woman pulling the plug is Jacqueline Getty -- who in 2000, married Gordon Peter Getty Jr. ... an heir to the $2,000,000,000 Getty fortune.

In legal papers just filed in L.A., Jacqueline claims she needs at least $314,727 per month in spousal support so she can continue to live in the style she's been accustomed ... here are some of the highlights:

-- $300,000 to $500,000 per year on clothing
-- $50,000 Halloween parties
-- wildly expensive jewelry including 5 carat diamond earrings
-- $40,000 birthday parties
-- trips to the private Getty compound in Hawaii 3-4 times a year
-- trips on the Getty private jet (Boeing 737)
-- a bed worth $1,000,000

Two more fun facts: First, Jacqueline claims they kept paintings by Jackson Pollock in STORAGE!!!

And our personal favorite ... Jacqueline claims Gordo would often go on trips without suitcases ... and buy a completely new wardrobe whenever he got to his destination ... several times a year!

And that is when you know you're rich.

7. My cousin's husband traveled like that..

Once at Thanksgiving dinner, he announced.. "well I have to go now..can someone drive me to the airport"?

My father asked.. where's your luggage?..he said.. "I hate traveling with luggage, I just buy what I need when I get there, and leave it in the hotel when i come home"..

That day he was headed to Japan...for a month..

8. I say give it to her

Two people separately can more easily piss away that obscene pile of wealth than one.

I've always wanted to be a "kept man".
