Brother Tom's daughter Su Rui will turn 18 this week, and she looks more and more like Brother Tom, and the power of genes is too strong↓↓
Although he was born, foreign media reported that Tom had not met his daughter for more than ten years, and his daughter never watched his old father's movies, and the father and daughter staged a realistic version of "He Who Disappeared".
Tom is completely absent from his daughter's growth, and his participation is limited to giving money. According to the divorce agreement between him and Suri's mother, Katie Holmes, Tom paid $400,000 in alimony every year, which was spread evenly over the month, almost $33,000, until Suri was 18 years old.
Now that Su Rui is about to turn 18 years old, Tom will also stop paying child support, but the divorce agreement also stipulates that Tom should continue to provide tuition for college after the age of 18.
With $400,000 less living expenses per year, life will suddenly become tight for Su Rui's mother.
For Su Rui, childhood is a little princess with fine clothes and food, although the quality of life has fallen in adolescence, but at least food and clothing are worry-free, still much higher than many peers, and now she is about to turn 18 years old, and the pressure of life has just begun.
Su Rui, the child, was born at the peak. She is Tom's only biological child, and her name is derived from the Hebrew word meaning "princess".
Looking at the faces of people when they were children, the first public appearance was on "Vanity Fair" magazine↓↓
Tom told the magazine reporter at the time: I want to be a father all my life, and I often say to myself that my children can rely on me, and I will always love them and take care of them. I'm not one of those people who thinks that too much love will spoil a child, the more love you give your child, the better.
Looking at this passage now, it is really ironic.
However, when Su Rui was a child, Tom was really very interested. Su Rui was born during the release of "Mission Impossible 3", when Tom ran home as soon as he finished the movie promotion work, he said: I love my job, but I don't want to miss the growth of my children.
Take my daughter around the world, look, my daughter, how beautiful~
Give everything to the best. Su Rui's wardrobe is referred to as ABC, representing Armani, BURBERRY and Christian Louboutin respectively

It is the son of the Pei family who greets him every day↓↓
Brother Tom is rich, loving, and a model worker, but once he enters a cult, he mistakes for life. Not only did he believe in Scientology, but he also wanted to bring his wife and daughter into the church. Su Rui's mother later broke the news that Su Rui was not allowed to eat through breast milk when she was a baby, and was forced to eat a mixture of barley, rice, milk and corn syrup in accordance with the teachings of Scientology.
Moreover, the religion also requires believers to keep a distance from non-believers, so Suri has few playmates since he was a child.
Later, Tom also advocated that his daughter be tested by an E-meter current similar to a lie detector, and that the ethics commissioner of Scientology carefully check whether the child had ever stolen and lied.
Although Tom denied all these revelations, he admitted that Scientology was indeed the trigger for his divorce.
In 2012, Su Rui's mother could no longer stand the siege of Scientology, and she used the word "escape" to end her marriage with Tom.
According to the divorce agreement, Su Rui's mother obtained sole custody of her daughter, Tom had visitation rights, and paid Su Rui's mother $400,000 in child support every year until Su Rui reached the age of 18. According to the law, Su Rui's mother could have fought for more child support, and she could also ask Tom to pay spousal support, but she didn't want anything and just wanted a divorce as soon as possible.

After the divorce, I don't know if it was because the Church of Scientology expelled Su Rui's mother and daughter, which made Tom keep a distance from them, or because Su Rui's mother didn't want Tom to see her daughter, in short, Tom visited Su Rui only a handful of times. In 2012, that is, in the same year of the divorce, I photographed several times, took my daughter to Disney to play, and the children were depressed↓↓
Foreign media reported that at the beginning, Tom and Su Rui would also video, and Tom told his daughter that he was going to make a movie, so he couldn't accompany her. Gradually, Su Rui didn't believe Tom's reason, his father became dispensable, and later, there was no video.
Dad only has the function of giving money, 400,000 US dollars a year, which is much higher than that of ordinary American families, but Su Rui's mother is still a little stretched to give her daughter the best education.
Suri attends Avenues The World School, an upscale private school in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, New York, which runs from kindergarten through high school graduation with no more than 18 students in each class, who grow up with a global view of the world, international experience, and language skills. The school requires students to study everything from math to music in Spanish or Chinese until they are 10 years old and can become fluent in the language before starting the traditional curriculum.
The annual tuition fee is $65,000, which is more expensive than many American universities↓↓
Avenues The World School
In order to go to school nearby, the mother and daughter rented a penthouse apartment in the Chelsea community for $25,000 a month, or $300,000 a year↓↓
What's more, Su Rui still has to learn ballet, and there are a bunch of extracurricular activities, and group homework with girlfriends, so you have to take turns to treat you↓↓
Occasionally attend a big scene, you can't be too shabby, spend $1200 to buy a Dolce & Gabbana dress skirt↓↓
And Su Rui's mother, in order to better take care of the baby over the years, her career has almost come to a standstill, and she occasionally makes some films, and the salary is not high, so 400,000 US dollars is indeed not enough for two people to spend.
It's no wonder that the mother and daughter can only take the subway when they go out↓↓
Vacations can only be taken in economy class↓↓
Su Rui's daily outfit has also plummeted, all relying on this face ↓↓
During the previous epidemic, the mother and daughter were isolated at home for more than half a year, and the TV series and movies starring Su Rui's mother were suspended, and their financial situation was almost collapsed, so they had to reach out to Tom to ask for money.
It was supposed to ask her father for child support, but Su Rui's mother said: It's a shame because she is desperate.
The old father has no problem giving money, but he never participates in his daughter's life and doesn't know anything about his daughter.
Suri is very talented in acting, singing especially well, and starred in high school drama performances, but she is personally not very interested in entering the entertainment industry, she loves the fashion industry more.
Now that Suri has begun to apply for college and wants to go to a fashion school, the tuition fee is not cheap, ranging from 50,000 to 70,000 US dollars a year, but fortunately, this tuition is still paid by his old father. However, for Su Rui's application for college, Tom did not contribute much.
Foreign media said that in order to prevent the living standards of the mother and daughter from falling off a cliff, Su Rui's mother has begun to actively look for a job↓↓But whether she can earn the $400,000 that Tom gave every year a year is still a question mark.
For Suri, she hasn't seen her father much since she was 7 years old, she never talks about Tom in public, and she never watches his movies. The little girl is very sensible, and she knows that it is not easy for her mother to take her alone, so she will help her mother share some of the work↓↓
will also set up stalls on the streets to sell soda during the New York LGBT parade↓↓
Give each other all the way to create a super iron mother-daughter relationship. And the father has become a very vague and distant figure, and they don't even live in the same country. Suri and her mother have been living in New York, USA, while Tom has been living in London, England since 2021.
The father who said he wanted to give his children "a lot of love" has disappeared for more than ten years, and the father who said "I don't want to miss the growth process of my children" turned out to be missing the whole process.
Some melon people said that maybe when Su Rui becomes an adult, the relationship between her and her father will ease, and the two will get closer, because Tom Tom has significantly more network resources. For this, only time will tell.
Since there is no "lot, a lot of love", please give "a lot of money", but you see, Tom donates millions of dollars to Scientology every year, and in 2013, it was reported that Tom donated a total of $25 million to Scientology, so in comparison, he gave too little to his daughter!
From the princess in the clouds to the mortal world, now, Suri is about to start a more difficult survival mode, come on, beautiful girl!
