I worked for a guy named Peter Nygard. Some people know him as the king of (Canadian-made) women's (polyester) fashion garments. Others know him from his absurd Nassau, Bahamas, compound with dynamite-enhanced beaches and tree fort offices. Peter has more money than he knows what to do with.
He lost a court ruling on a child support case that's been going on for a while. The judge just awarded the petitioner costs of $1-million in legal fees as well, according to this story (Nygard ordered to pay ex-lover's $1-million legal tab). He paid them, allegedly.
Peter was playing a game that he paid to play -- reluctantly, no doubt. Story is interesting reading, if you like a little voyeurism with your breakfast.
