Today the California Court of Appeals gave us a doosey. Superagent Adam Venit (who works for the Endeavor Talent Agency [home of Ari Emanuel, who is the real-life model for the obnoxious superagent Ari Gold on HBO’s Entourage]), tried to get his child support payments to his ex-wife reduced. Instead, the court actually increased them. Here’s some of the record as recited by the Court:
Even with the increase in child support since the November 8, 2002 order, there remained a huge disparity between the lifestyle the children had with their mother and the one they had with their father. According to Jami, the children commented on the disparity. Michael, one of the twins, stated the mother only drives an Escalade while their father drives a Rolls Royce. Michael also stated that Adam’s backyard is as big as a football field. Michael explained that it is so much bigger than Jami’s backyard. Sarah wanted her soccer friends to go to her father’s home to see how “cool” it was. Both twins stated that they wanted gates around Jami’s property because they live in a gated community with their father. They said they would feel much safer with a gate. In 2003, Adam sold his 5,500 square foot home in Encino and purchased an 11,000 square foot Beverly Hills estate. Adam also acquired the lots across the street and below the main house. The twins each have their own bedroom and own bathroom at their father’s home.
Can you imagine the humiliation of being driven around in an Escalade instead of a Rolls Royce? Or having a backyard in Beverly Hills smaller than a football field? Oh, the shame. It burns! It burns! In re Marriage of JAMI and ADAM VENIT, No. B185306, Jul. 16, 2007, 2nd App. Dist., Div. 5.
