Alex Rodriguez was paying his ex-wife $115,000 a month. Then he asked to cut it to $20,000. Cynthia Scurtis wanted closer to $50,000 a month. In the video below, A-Rod tells TODAY: "Your self-awareness decreases, your ego increases, and personally I just didn't have the tools to have so much so early." He said he went from about $30 million a year as a Yankee to about $3 million after retiring. He said she had millions in the bank, three homes and multiple cars, and chose not to work despite a master's degree in psychology. Then Jennifer Lopez walked into the mediation. On Sept. 13, 2018 in Miami, J.Lo sat in on the session between A-Rod and his ex. Sources said she insisted he should pay only $10,000 a month. The mediation was scuttled after day one. Cynthia's lawyer called the $115,000 figure "grossly inaccurate." The fight started 10 years earlier. In 2008 she filed for divorce citing his "extramarital affairs." A-Rod's side said the prenup she signed a month before the wedding should decide it. He made over $400 million in his MLB career. So was A-Rod right to cut $115,000 down to $20,000, or did a $400 million man bring his new fiancée to shortchange the mother of his kids?
