Socialite accused of lying in court to win record settlement He claimed she had also lied about the £16,000 a month lease on the luxury home the couple share in a wealthy district of Hong Kong by stating that it was also a loan. As a result, he argued that she did not require such a large amount of child support. Mr Lichtenstein accused Miss Bond of moving from "one millionaire lover to another to support her lavish lifestyle." He said she spent millions of dollars of their money "before moving on to her next wealthy lover or lovers to support her and finance her litigation efforts." To illustrate her allegedly excessive spending, he claimed that she had spent £400,000 furnishing her Hong Kong home and another £62,000 on a Range Rover. The lawsuit lifts the lid on the bitterness that has consumed what was previously thought to have been an amicable separation. It accuses Miss Bond and Mr Cader, whose brokerage firm Spear, Leeds & Kellogg was purchased by Goldman Sachs for £4.8 billion, of "scheming" to manipulate the legal process by making the socialite appear less wealthy than she really was. "Their conduct manifests not only a gross abuse of process and a plain and simple act of injustice - but also, actionable fraud," it states. Mr Lichtenstein, 46, and Miss Bond, who was the fourth British woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest, split up in 2007 on what was then good terms. However, the financier, who runs hedge fund Steel Partners and is said to be worth £630 million, was furious when she moved to Hong Kong against his wishes. To compound his misery, a judge then ordered him to pay £27,000 in monthly child support, a sum three times greater than that originally ordered by a British court. He filed his lawsuit, seeking at least £120,000 in damages, against Mr Cader as he is a resident of New York City and can be sued in the US courts. The documents also allege that Sir John, who was described as "the corporate genius who turned HSBC into a banking colossus" during his 45 years with the firm, "conspired" with his daughter and made false statements that he could no longer provide her with monthly £1,600 payments. Miss Bond, who seven years ago became the fastest woman to climb the Earth's highest peaks, did not respond to a request for comment via her website and phone calls to Mr Cader's Manhattan apartment went unanswered yesterday. A request for comment was passed on to Sir John, 70, through Swiss mining company Xstrata for which he is currently chairman.
