The 54-year-old former Pirelli calendar girl claims she needs £6.5million A YEAR to maintain her lifestyle.

But Dr Juffali's legal team say she can survive on £1million year.

They accused Ms Estrada of exaggerating claims of how much she spent a year in an attempt to get more money.

She says she wants more than £55m for a new home, £482,416 to rent a yacht, a Paris holiday of £247,233 for the Presidential Suite at the Ritz and £54,000 for shoes.

She also said she wanted £10,000 every year so she can go to Elton John’s white tie ball.

She says she is owed £196million to fund her lavish lifestyle following the end of their 13-year marriage

But her budget was slammed as a "fantasy" by Justin Warshaw QC.

He said: "It is extraordinary to suggest £55,000 a year on headdresses is acceptable or that a clothes budget of £155,000 goes up to £2m.

"It is a budget that has one purpose: to push up the amount of money Ms Estrada gets from my client.

The approach to housing sit hand in hand with the budget.

"All the houses we proposed were some of the finest properties in London. We say she does not need a holiday home in England. She can buy one, but she doesn't need one."

But Ms Estrada may get only £37m from Dr Juffali as he has terminal lung cancer.

The court was told any enforcement of an order may have to be made on his beneficiaries in Saudi Arabia.

Dr Juffali, 61, once presented a Saudi version of The Apprentice, called The Investor, where different families pitted their business skills against each other on TV.

The only assets the billionaire has in the UK includes a property near Windsor Castle worth £25m, which has an outstanding loan of £27.3m on it.

What does Christina Estrada say she needs to fund her lavish lifestyle? The ex-supermodel is demanding a billion pounds from her cancer-suffering ex-husband to pay for the following... Her clothing and jewellery budget stands at more than £1.02 million per annum, including £40,000 for a new fur coat every year, £83,000 for 15 new cocktail dresses every year, £80,000 for a special occasion gown annually, £109,000 for seven haute couture dresses annually, £197,000 on two white jewellery sets and £79,000 on cocktail dress jewellery sets every year.

She also wants £58,000 for two luxury handbags, £23,000 for six casual handbags and £35,000 for ten clutch handbags.

Ms Estrada needs £4,000 for fifteen pairs of sunglasses – every year together with two sets of ski wear, including helmets, each season.

She wants two watches every year for £39,000 each (she already has 43 valuable watches).

She needs three new suitcases each year for a total of £14,850 and five new silk dressing gowns.

Mr Warshaw added: "There's no liquidity in that property - it is a negative figure.

"This is one of the trust's only assets and the beneficiaries are his two other wives and children.

"Therefore any attempt to enforce an order would be pointless as it is likely to be made after my client has passed away and would not necessarily be made against my client.

"The value of that property would also have to be chartered through post Brexit so this value could go up and down."

The court heard Dr Juffali also owns a property in Devon, but his legal team claimed ex-wife had only ever visited it 10 times.

Judge Mrs Justice Roberts said: "It seems your client has a propensity to exaggerate his largesse when asked how much things cost.

"There's the house he says is worth £100m, but it turns out to be worth a fifth of that, then the blue diamond at £20m but it's actually a fraction of it."

Extravagance can not create a need for extravagance, just because you spend £1 million on fireworks doesn't mean you have to spend that every year. Justin Warshaw QC

"The budget may be bigger - that maybe somewhat of an understatement - and the housing particulars in a different league, but it is exactly the same as that being made by District Judges.

"There's nothing light about my client's offer in this case that would provide for Ms Estrada.

"Extravagance can not create a need for extravagance, just because you spend £1 million on fireworks doesn't mean you have to spend that every year.

"This is a woman who by any standards is a wealthy woman.

"My client made a voluntary payment, she has assets of £25m, she has not just been cast adrift."

Mr Juffali, a practising Muslim, had four wives during his marriage to Estrada.

Their 13-year marriage ended when Dr Juffali divorced Ms Estrada in 2012 after she discovered he had married a Lebanese model 32 years his junior.

The hearing continues.
