Ex-Husband Bleeds $27K Monthly on Empty Mansion

Christian Dumontet, the ex-husband of "Selling Sunset" star Christine Quinn, is reportedly incurring substantial monthly expenses for an unoccupied multi-million dollar mansion. Dumontet has sought exclusive control of the Queens Court property, asserting it as his separate asset acquired in 2019 before his marriage, with no financial contribution from Quinn.

The financial strain is significant, with Dumontet claiming monthly costs around $27,000. This figure includes a $3.5 million mortgage payment of approximately $20,000, plus annual property taxes and insurance, totaling a considerable sum with no incoming revenue.

Since September 2025, the mansion has remained vacant. Dumontet reports ongoing security and caretaker expenses to prevent theft and vandalism, with past security costs reaching $30,000 monthly. He is currently based in France and intends no return, making the property a costly financial drain.

Dumontet is attempting to fast-track the sale of the property to mitigate these ongoing losses. His legal efforts to gain immediate control for a swift sale were recently denied by the court, which found no justification for emergency action.
