The Italian porn star Ilona Staller recently sued her ex-husband Jeff Koons in a claim claims $2.3 million (£1.15 million) due on child support. Ilona Staller aka “La Cicciolina” (which means “the little fleshy one” according to Wikipedia) claimed in New York State Court that her ex-husband has to date only paid $310,600 in child support for their son, Ludwig, since they divorced in 1998. Jeff Koons is known as one of the highest-paid living artists.

At this time, the judge ordered that the child stayed in New York but Staller took her son back to Italy with her. Koons, a former Wall Street commodities broker, spent almost $4 million trying to get his son back to United-States. Koons once described the child as a “biological sculpture.” In November 2003, he told a US newspaper: “I always felt my government would do the right thing and get my child back. Now I realize that I might not be able to see and live with my child again.”
