Millionaire UK Plumber Is Ordered To Pay His Lithuanian Former Cleaner Girlfriend Huge Slice Of His Fortune - Even Though They Were NEVER Married

By Mike Buchanan: An extract from this news article should give you a flavour of the piece:

He paid himself £150,000-a-year from his plumbing empire, and gave her an annual salary of up to £93,000 for a job which did not require her to work. [My emphasis]

When they split after nine years, Miss Cerniauskaite, who now works as a businesswoman and model, [Note: she’s 47] claimed she had a right to their £650,000 second home in the village of Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire.

Mr Hoggins contested that he paid the house’s £100,000 deposit, the mortgage costs and all the bills after buying it in 2009. But a judge at a hearing at the First-Tier Tribunal in London has ruled the property is, and always was, Miss Cerniauskaite’s alone.

The money Mr Hoggins ploughed into the home was a ‘gift’ by a ‘generous’ man, Judge Ann McAllister ruled. [My emphasis]

She added: ‘There is no doubt that John was extremely generous in these years and that considerable sums of money passed through his hands.

‘It is clear from all the evidence I have heard and read that John now feels very bitter towards Greta and has convinced himself that, from the outset, her intentions were to get what she could out of the relationship financially.

[My emphasis]

John’s convinced me of the same thing. He feels ‘very bitter towards Greta’? A sure sign of a man with sound judgement.
Why rich men have intimate relationships with women, when they have so much to lose, is a mystery. At one time the risk was gold-digging wives. Because of judges such as Ann McAllister, the risk has been extended to gold-digging girlfriends.
