That's An Expensive Nanny


Many of you might not know who Jim Nantz is unless you watch sports. Jim is 50 and a CBS sports anchor who makes about $8M a year. Not Simon Cowell money, but not too shabby. Jim decided he was going to have an affair and instead of manning up and saying he wanted to dump his wife of 26 years because a 29 year old had the hots for him, he decided instead to blame the divorce and the affair on the fact his wife spent too much of his money. Over the past nine years, Jim claims his wife has spent close to a million dollars on clothes and jewelry. That is a lot of money but if the guy made $81M over that nine years, it isn't exactly a huge percentage of the income. Jim also cried that his wife didn't fully support his career. Please.

In her papers, the soon to be former Mrs Nantz did say she wants $1.5M a year in child support for their 15 year old daughter. She also wants full custody of their daughter and says she takes great care of their daughter and the fact the couple has a full-time nanny should be ignored. I would like to know why a 15 year old needs a full-time nanny. I would also love to know how this kid is going to spend over $100K a month. The price of books must have really gone up.

  3. And yet Enty is supportive of Anne Heche paying so much child support that her ex need not work at all, when said child is in school full time. Hmm... double standard much?

  5. More importantly - why is Nantz getting paid $8m a yr? WTF?

  6. Hmm, yeah. Alimony I can see being that high, but child support?? Also - wtf is with the nanny? Sounds to me like it might be more of a personal assistant who fetches the dry cleaning.

  7. The article said she wanted in excess of $1.5 million in child support and alimony, not just child support. Sounds pretty reasonable based on his salary.

  8. Why the hell does a 15-year-old need a nanny? Unless she has special needs of some sort (which is possible, but I'd think they would have mentioned it in the article if it was true), there is no way a teenager needs a nanny.

  9. @Paisley - yeah, that would make more sense.

  11. When I was 17 years old my family went to a summer resort in NY's Catskill Mountains. When we arrived the hotel told us its notes said I was supposed to have a nanny, which would have been a girl about my age. My father told them it wasn't necessary. I didn't talk to him for a week.
