Council Advancing Gender Equality

Kanye West agreed to pay Kim Kardashian $200,000 a month in child support. A month earlier, he had lost his billionaire status. They started dating in 2012. They married in Florence, Italy, in May 2014. Four kids: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. In February 2021 she filed for divorce. They had a prenup and kept most of their money separate. He fired two lawyers during the case. He attacked her online. She said he made co-parenting "impossible every step of the way." In March 2022 a judge declared them legally single. The money fight kept going. Then October 2022. After his antisemitic comments, Adidas ended the Yeezy deal. Forbes had counted that deal as $1.5 billion of his fortune. Overnight it dropped him off the billionaires list. Forbes now put him at about $400 million. Five weeks later, the settlement. $200,000 a month for the four kids. Joint custody. Private school, college and private security split 50/50. No spousal support either way. She kept the $60 million Hidden Hills mansion. He gave her the $4.5 million house next door. Reports say she plans to tear it down. He kept the $60 million Malibu beach house, ranches in Wyoming, 300 acres in Calabasas and the Chicago home he grew up in. That's $2.4 million a year in child support. Before the school and security bills. The case for Kim: four kids under 10, and a father whose behavior made the headlines every week. The case for Kanye: he still pays half of everything else, and she's the one with the shapewear empire. Is $200,000 a month for four kids fair, or is that just what rich divorce looks like?
