Yet the Sandy Hook families were given no evidence of this contribution. Despite this figure, Jones’ monthly operating reports indicate that he’s surpassed his own proposed budget.Īs of December 30, 2022, Jones claimed he’d submitted around $900,000 of his own money for bankruptcy protection to avoid having his operations shut down, court documents show. Jones instead responded with a budget of his own on May 8, proposing that he be allowed to spend over $700,000 a year. Jones declined the initial budget proposed to him by attorneys representing the families in December 2022 that would have allowed him to pay the liabilities and spend a diminished amount on himself, court documents show. In filing for bankruptcy, the money Jones owes the Sandy Hook families is put on hold until a payment plan is established. At the time, he estimated his assets to be worth between $1 million and $10 million, and his liabilities to be between $1 billion and $10 billion, CNN previously reported. Jones filed for bankruptcy in December 2022 after he was ordered to pay nearly $1.5 billion to Sandy Hook families over his false claims about the elementary school massacre.

His May and June bills were equally hefty, with Jones spending $63,925 and $85,114, respectively, again without taking stock of legal and professional fees, the filing said.Īn attorney for Jones did not respond to a CNN request for comment Thursday. The payments to Jones’ wife, the lawyers alleged, were textbook “fraudulent transfers” under a claimed prenuptial agreement. In July alone, Jones spent $93,180 - excluding legal and professional fees - including $15,184 on payments to his wife Erika Wulff Jones, $7,900 on housekeeping, $6,338 on meals and entertainment, and a separate $3,388 on groceries, an August 29 court filing from lawyers for the families shows. Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ personal spending has increased since he was ordered to pay $1.5 billion in liabilities to Sandy Hook families, none of whom has seen a penny from the disgraced Infowars host, according to court documents.
