[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 313894, member: 27"] They never did really define just how much money Alexis got in the wake of her divorce from Jeff and the misadventures with the mansion. From what I recall, she and Jeff bought up Blake's loan (which he had taken out with all his personal assets as collateral) and foreclosed on it all, including the mansion. When Jeff and Alexis's marriage went south, I'm 99% sure she got a monetary settlement on top of Carrington Manor, but they did not really spell out how much. They did not say it out loud, but it could be inferred that a lot of that money went into the ill-fated diamond mining project. When they tricked Alexis into selling the manor back to Blake it was implied he didn't pay a premium rate for it since it was supposedly sinking, but it would still have been an enormous financial windfall for Alexis when he bought it back. If they had confirmed in dialogue that the money she got from Blake went straight into buying that palatial penthouse (translation: she didn't make a profit off the selling of the manor), then an argument could then be made that she doesn't have any "liquid assets" to speak of, that her money has all been sunk into that penthouse. Which....well, let's just say she's going to need to hire a good lawyer and they don't come cheap. Maybe she could rent out the living room as a trailer park. And it would all hinge on whether or not Jeff is paying her alimony. Again, it was not said out loud, but if it makes the plotline more convenient, they could easily say he has been doing it all this time. Since alimony typically ends when an ex-spouse remarries, she might be reluctant to marry Dex for fear of losing those huge alimony checks! [/QUOTE]
