Grammy-winning rapper and fashion mogul Kanye West is reportedly paying a staggering $200,000 per month in child support to his ex-wife, reality TV star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian.
The figure, which emerged following the finalization of their divorce, is believed to be one of the highest, if not the highest, child support payments in American history.
The former couple, who share joint custody of their four children; North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm reached the settlement after months of legal proceedings that followed their high-profile split.
Despite having joint custody, Kardashian is said to be the children’s primary caregiver, which reportedly influenced the terms of the agreement.
In addition to the monthly payment, West is also responsible for 50% of the children’s medical, educational, and security expenses.
9News Nigeria reports that the amount reflects the lifestyle the children were accustomed to and the financial stature of both parents.
The Kardashian-West divorce, finalized in late 2022, drew widespread public and media attention, highlighting issues around celebrity wealth, custody, and co-parenting.
