A rich cougar handed £750,000 to her Romanian toyboy 37 years her junior, only to have him blow it on online gambling, luxury cars, and watches.
Christiane Shellard, 66, is taking Cristian Mihalea, 29, to court to get most of her cash back, claiming it was just a loan to help him turn his life around.
The divorcee said £500,000 was to buy a flat in her name where he could live until he could afford a mortgage and another £160,000 was for his father’s medical bills,UK Sun reports.
She also shelled out for a Porsche Panamera, which retails at almost £68,000, and more watches to add to the muscled playboy’s collection.
Instead of going through with her plan, he dumped the money in Romanian bank accounts and lost it all gambling.
What he didn’t away was spent on a bad gold deal, a Audemars Piguet watch costing at least £4,000, and a £42,000 GLS Mercedes for his sister Mirela.
Mihalea now claims his only assets are £7,444 in a Lloyds bank account and a £4,000 Cartier watch.
‘Karma is a bitch and it is waiting for him,’ Ms Shellard told The Sun as the pair faced London’s High Court.
