The legal fight between 84-year-old billionaire Kirk Kerkorian (#29 on Forbes's list of wealthiest Americans) and his former wife has taken a marvelously interesting turn. As first reported this week by Los Angeles Times scribe Ann O'Neill, Lisa Kerkorian, 36, just asked an L.A. judge to award her an unprecedented $323,000 a month in child support for the couple's 3-year-old daughter Kira. That's $3.87 million annually to maintain the lifestyle to which this preschooler has apparently become accustomed. Lisa Kerkorian, bless her heart, helpfully filed this monthly expense breakdown, a document that should immediately be rushed to the Library of Congress and placed in a vitrine alongside other important American artifacts like the Declaration of Independence. TSG's favorite monthly line item is the $3386 it costs for lil' Kira's "French/ballet/tennis/piano/riding" lessons. (7 pages)

Previous court windfalls have gone to Kirstie Alley's ex, a pair of cats, and a dog named Minni.
