Things are getting rough for Jeremy Renner during the coronavirus outbreak. Sure he was in three of the ten highest-grossing movies of all time (and the eleventh) but work has just dried up for him since all the productions shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic. So he would very much like to start paying less money in child support, according to TMZ.
Jeremy says he knew 2020 would be a down year for him, financially, since his work in “The Avengers” films is done — but he says he did have some work lined up. Then, the pandemic set in, and “it is likely that most productions will not resume again prior to the end of the year. As such, the projects that I had previously lined up to film this year are likely cancelled or postponed.”
He says he’s currently paying about $30k per month, tax-free, for their daughter Eva‘s housing, food, transportation and clothing. Jeremy has some issues with how, he claims, Sonny is using the funds.
Okay, two things here. One, his daughter’s name is Ava, get your s**t together TMZ.
Second, let’s do some quick math. Renner is paying $30,000 a month in child support. His daughter will turn 7 in a few days, which means he’ll be paying that for exactly 11 more years. That’s $3.96 million dollars. Google tells me Renner currently has a net worth of $50 million he’s basically being asked to pay 8% of his wealth to take care of his daughter, and he’s going to court to have that reduced to $11k a month, or $1.452 million dollars, or about 3% of his wealth.
He alleges she’s using it as a “slush fund” to support her lifestyle and to wage a child custody war against him in court. In docs, his attorney says, “Sonny’s voracious appetite for Jeremy’s money has no end in sight.”
Jeremy’s got serious trust issues with Sonny, and is asking the judge to let his business managers have sole control over the funds in Eva’s account. Due to his financial situation, he wants the amount of support reduced.
He has business managers, he doesn’t even have to write the checks himself. And what is he worried about? What is he not going to be able to buy with $46 million that he could buy if only he had $48.6 million?
Dear Eric, your math is dumb. No kid needs that much $$$ like ever, when they are 7. IF that kid can;t live on half that, the mom is incompetent. $15k/month with no taxes> Sign me up bitches.
Now here is a bearding situation that totally backfired.
