So lets say, for example, if John Paulson was divorced and had a kid.
When he made 2 billion in 2007, if he had a kid and had to pay 1/3 of his income as child support then his kid would be entitled to 666 million?
That's why I asked: is child support based on need? All a child really needs is 20k a year to meet basic needs. Even if its a rich kid going to private school with private tutors and all - then maybe 100k a year. But 666 million? I think that would be insane.

My cousin makes about $130,000 a year and has to pay $3700 a month to his ex girlfriend, who lives in a place where most people make less than $1500 a month. It's definatly not based on need in this case.
