I can verify she lives in Fulham! Now reading the threads it all makes sense that I’ve seen a tiny peroxide bleached troll bobbing about looking miserable
. Both her and her husband when I saw them looked quite small (short) and she was ridiculously dressed (borderline drag queen esque given it was so over the top)
Mark was only promoted to portfolio manager at Elliot a year or so ago, before that mid level. Salaries on buyside are good, but not THAT good to fund her lifestyle. Tax man takes half before it even hits the bank account.
And all of the big banks and investment firms have great maternity cover through insurance (Bupa, Cigna) that includes uncomplicated regular deliveries at private hospitals including Kensington Wing at Chelsea Westminster. Can cover spouses with extra premium to be paid monthly. Typical coverage is £10-15k with some level of co-pay (~20%).
I think there are also a lot of lifestyle benefits that they take advantage of given his work perks (and rightfully so, majority of London bankers do this). If he travels a lot of work, they will have hundreds of thousands if not millions of reward points to pay for flights and hotels (can also explain why they may travel at weird off-peak times sometimes), his firm will have beneficial rates for employees at all high end hotels in major cities…
Anyways no shame in taking advantage of all of this, but let’s lift the veil of dishonesty.
