20 Million ought to cover it...

https://www.law.com/therecorder/2018/04/11/stormy-daniels-lawyer-avenatti-fights-to-save-huge-punitive-award-against-kimberly-clark/?slreturn=20180413205732

Avenatti went toe-to-toe with a top-notch team from King & Spalding in a California class action over “leaky” surgical gowns by Kimberly-Clark and spin-off Halyard Health. He walked away with a verdict of $3.9 million in compensatory damages and a stunning $450 million in punitive damages.

The award was clearly vulnerable—the punitive damages were 115 times greater than economic ones, and there was no evidence of any physical injury. But it’s a reminder of how brutally effective Avenatti can be in front of a jury.

On March 30, U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee of the Central District of California whacked the award down to size, setting punitive damages at $20.7 million.
