In happier times, real estate mogul Michael Fuchs — who co-owns Manhattan’s famed Chrysler Building — and his French-born wife Alvina Collardeau-Fuchs lived in a $41 million, six-story mansion in London with an indoor swimming pool and five bedrooms, staffed by a small army of chefs, house managers and even a laundress. The now estranged couple, who are battling each other in a London family court as they seek a divorce, also split their time among swanky homes on the French Riviera, Miami and New York, where Fuchs, 62, is a principal in RFR Realty, a company he runs with his childhood friend, Aby Rosen, and that co-owns the Chrysler and Seagram buildings in Midtown.His wife requires millions in support, her lawyer argued this week, and a judge agreed, ruling that Fuchs must shell out more than $4.9 million a year to Collardeau-Fuchs. The jaw-dropping payout — which amounts to more than $400,000 a month — will continue until the couple’s divorce is settled, according to British news reports. A final hearing on the split is scheduled for October.
