BREAKING: Kanye West Reportedly Paying Kim Kardashian $200,000 Per Month in Child Support—One of the Largest Child Support Settlements in U.S. Celebrity History

Kanye West Reportedly Paying Kim Kardashian $200,000 Per Month in Child Support—One of the Largest Settlements in U.S. History

In what could be one of the highest child support agreements in American history, Kanye West—now legally known as Ye—has reportedly been ordered to pay his ex-wife Kim Kardashian a staggering $200,000 per month in child support. The agreement comes following the finalization of their high-profile divorce after nearly eight years of marriage.

The monthly payment is intended to support the former couple’s four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. According to court documents, West will also be responsible for 50% of the children’s medical, educational, and security expenses. While the child support amount may raise eyebrows, reports indicate that both parties agreed to the terms amicably and share joint physical and legal custody of the children.

The $200,000 monthly figure—equating to $2.4 million annually—places this settlement among the most expensive child support cases in recent U.S. legal history. Though Kardashian, a billionaire in her own right through her businesses and brand endorsements, doesn’t appear financially dependent on the support, the agreement ensures a standardized contribution from both parents toward the children’s upbringing and well-being.

The settlement also serves as a striking example of how celebrity divorces, especially involving high-earning individuals, can result in historic legal outcomes. Despite past public tensions, sources close to both Kardashian and West say the focus now is on co-parenting peacefully and maintaining a stable environment for their children.

This development caps off a years-long saga that saw the couple’s relationship play out publicly, from whirlwind romance to reality TV and public controversies. Now, with the divorce settled, both Kim and Ye appear poised to move forward into their next chapters—individually and as co-parents.
