What do you think Beth's net worth was before she moved in with Howard

[MutteringJohn]

My guess is she had about $100,000 or less saved. There are clues. She apparently was living in a pretty shitty apartment. She did have modeling work but it was sporadic. Even if she did some shoots in Europe, big deal. They paid for her flight, hotel room and maybe she got paid a couple of thousand a day for a few days work. It's still expensive to live in New York. She had to spend a lot on clothes. For every model that's working there are thousands of girls to take her place. Only the top models can command big money. For her small, unimportant few movie roles she would be lucky to get $5000. You would be shocked what these actors get paid for their initial jobs. It's next to nothing. I always laugh when Howard said Beth had her own money.

I would say half that though your reasoning is spot on. What contributes to her being so unappealing as a person is the money spent on clothing and handbags esp the handbags. It is one thing if you earned it yourself, it is entirely another to be of modest means, scrapping by and win the lottery and lose touch with your values. 2000 to 5000 for a handbag. Fine if one or two and they are gifts from a wealthy significant other but an entire collection. Just seems over the top. It really is one thing to have really desired something your whole life and to find someone who loves you and wants to give it to you because of that. There is little enduring value in a closet full of shoes and handbags which cost enough to feed a small tow.

$5, about thirty turbans and millions of used Arab condoms

100k? Are you kidding me? She was lucky if she had 5k in the bank.

[IlluminatiJones]

100k? Are you kidding me? She was lucky if she had 5k in the bank.

5k? Are you kidding me? She was lucky if she made the rent each month.

Where are all these magical thousands of dollars supposedly coming from? The thousand-dollar fairy?!?

She had a leaky roof in a shitty apartment in a shitty section of New York.....

Do you really think she had 100K in the bank? Hahahahaha........

Ames ads don't pay enough to sustain savings anywhere, let alone in NYC. She must not have saved much from her "European modeling" days......

$100k might not be too far off, Yonkers raceway pays pretty well

[DICKWAD]

It had to be done

[Horff]

Well apparently she had a golden pussy that was worth $500 mil

[username]

The apartment Beth lived in was set up by Trump with Howard's blessing. They meat long before the official date. (remember that Beth auditioned for Son of the beach)

Escorting pays real good, especially arabs. At least 5K for a weekend.

Beth also helped Howard hid money during Howard's divorce.

But her big payday will be the divorce. Pre-nups are until the date they are signed. Everything earned after that is split 50:50. Howard have raked in almost 500 millions since then.

100,000!! Are you high? She was living "paycheck to paycheck" and landed the golden goose.

The Golden Jew as Riley would say.

[Trophy Knife]

Riley nailed it when he called Howard the "Billionaire loser".

Do you have $100k in savings?

[skylarbrie]

beth was known to target the rich and/or famous for dates, and was rewarded with cash / gifts...as stated by David Letterman and Sandra Bernhard. moreover, her family was in desperate need of cash during the 1990's, hence, the fraud conviction of her dad

[FSFN]

Am I under oath?

[Nibbler]

I'd say about 5 grams of coke (allegedly)
