The following excerpt is from Gottlieb v. Fahs, B218087 (Cal. App. 2012):
Marciano next argues that the evidence presented relating to his financial condition was insufficient to justify an award of punitive damages. We find this argument unconvincing. To be sustained on appeal, an award of punitive damages must be supported by a trial record that contains meaningful evidence of the defendant's financial condition. (Adams v. Murakami (1991) 54 Cal.3d 105, 109.) The record here contains such evidence.
