The hip-hop mogul, via court documents filed on Tuesday (June 24) in Los Angeles, will have to pay $40,000 a month in child support to his ex-wife Kimora Lee Simmons.
That’s not it either, according to BallerStatus.com, the ex-couple have put their multi-million dollar mansion located in New Jersey on the market, and until it sells, he’s gonna maintain the up-keep, which amounts to $18,000 a month, payable to Kimora.
While Kimora maintains sole custody of the two children, Russell will get visitation rights. He will get his kids every eighth week from Saturday until the following Saturday when they are to be returned at 6:00 p.m., according to the documents, which will take place in Los Angeles, where Kimora resides. However, holidays, summers, and vacations, are also options.
Let’s hope Russell isn’t haunted by the words, “It’s cheaper to keep her.” Dang… what child needs 40K a month?

i kno he got bread but 40k??? Them lil gurls arent even 10yrs old wat tha f*** they gonna do wit 40k a month, buy barbie dolls? On top of the fact that they momma got money, she don’t even need it. And as for Kimora, i think she just used Russell to get on top, i kno she was a model and all but she wouldn’t be nothin without him. That is trash. If i was him, i’d put a hit out on dat a ** but, that’s just me.
Kimora Lee is a gold digging BITCH and she used Russell so she could get on top of her game. Smart move though, but 40K a month??!!!! I could see if she wasn’t chariging $60 for a pair of Babyphat jeans!!! What the kids going to do with the money? That’s what I would love to know
well i applaud her. she went from modeling to clothin designer and etc…..she used him just like he used her…..
so put a fork in it ppl
unlike our broke ass kids (famous ppl with money) can spend 40k in no problem….let me put it in broke man terms…..for us thats like spending 400 dollars. u can basically spend that in one store. but hey think broke and youll always be it…..lol
That’s what happens when you rob the cradle. He was to damn old for her young behind azz when he got her. He knew it would happen eventually. All these old azz men ned to leave the young freak alone.
Celebrity wives, ex-wives, and baby mamas get on my nerves. 40K a month for child support??? That’s ridiculous considering that he has to pay child support plus whatever he spends on them when he spends time with them. It does not take 20K per kid a month to raise them. My mom barely made 20K a year and we made it through. Money makes people lose perspective. Why would Kimora need that much child support when she’s breaking the bank herself?
Have y’all seen the house Kimora stays with her children. To maintain that takes a grip. She has nannies and cooks and such to pay. This is the lifestyle Russell and her maintained now all of a sudden its wrong for her to get this money, probably less than what he spent on her monthly when they were together. Like somebody said, broke niggaz think in broke terms. 40 k a month good do wonders for my lifestyle though. To be fair, it goes based of the income. Russell’s income apparently was more substanial than her’s last year otherwise this wouldn’t have happened. I hate when they release the details of someone’s divorce. It’s always the woman that gets called outta line for asking for what she thinks she deserves. We don’t know what happened or who’s bank account is bigger.
I have never liked Kimora; and trust me, I’m not hatin’. She comes across as if she is the bonafied, certified, BLACK WOMAN, when she has NEVER lived the true life of a BLACK WOMAN. You reap what you sow, so Mr. Simmons is paying dearly for his bad harvest. Even though she is a GO GETTER, I do not admire nor respect the way she established her business. I can respect someone like Oprah, Beverly Johnson, Iman, even Tyra (i.e. her best friend for life - with her fake behind at times), but this evil witch is full of herself. The world had no idea of this chick until Russell started dating her. And he completely changed her whole look. She looked more like a model when she got with him than she did before him. What type of legacy and example is she leading for her children? She may be on top now, but when you get too high in the clouds, its a long road down to the ground. I hope she puts those two spoiled brats in charm school; they are B A D!!!!
Now on another note, Baby Phat is definitely the TRUTH!!!! Those jeans fit my behind like no other. You can keep those flat lookin’ Sevens and Rockin Republics - because BP’s makes your behind FAT like the brothaz like it!!!!! I know, I know, but …..my Big Mama always said if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at ALL!! lol!!!
This Is Why If I was That Rich I wouldn’t Get Married………..Ethier have a real women as you are Gettin’ Rich or Sign A F&CKIN PRE NUMP………Got D@mn…….Nigg@z Never Learn…………..
Russell could wipe his MOGUL ass with $40K a month. You guys are thinking small as hell. Those are his kids just as they are hers and he keeps them for 1 week every 2 months! The nucca would have to pay me too. It’s not about gold digging, it’s about the facts. She is beautiful, he is not. He wanted her for her youth and beauty. She gave him many years and 2 lovely children. You can’t put a price on that. Plus, all divorcees should take a page from their book. They were able to split, live in the same house, get along, host events, make business decisions and lead happy productive lives even in the midst of their spilt. Plus, they didnt say a word about spousal support/alamony which means that she probably didn’t ask for any. You haters need to leave Kimora alone. So what if she’s a bitch? She can and often times needs to be a bitch running a multimillion dollar business. Some of yall are bitches working at McDonalds so knock it off and get a life! GO ON KIMORA! Show these fools how it’s done.
SPEAK THE TRUTH JJ. FOR real its not about the money its about they rich they can spoil there kids like that if they want to. So what if its 40K a Month you all don’t have to pay it, so just like Kiesha Cole, let it go let it go let it go…… Keep it movin and stop hating on dis chick. She don’t need his money its about wanting the best for the kids and the money they have yawl wish to have, and i gareenteeee it yawl would spoil the hell out yawl kids if it was you who is a multi millionair. REAL TALK.
Man this money hungry bitch. Is it already bad enough that she ran him out of Phat Farm now she want’s him to pay her 40,000. I know he balling but not like you think. I think she needs to get married so she can suck her next husband dry. I think she’s money hungry and needs to slow her roll before she meet a man that will get her for all of what she has.
KIMORA HAS A BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT. JUST A BEAUTIFUL PERSON ALL AROUND. SHE’S HUMBLE AND ALWAYS ACKNOWLEDGE CHRIST, WHICH IS VERY ADMIRABLE. THE KIDS ARE GORGEOUS AS WELL.
He got what he deserved he shouldnt have cheated. He had no buisness wuth that lil girl anyway and she was ugly as **** when they first met. If he was any kind of man he would have kept his black ass with his family he lucky that’s all he has to pay. I would’ve tried to break his ass he lucky she is only half black…lol.
I only hate broads that ask for child support when the male is still taking care of his child durring the split. Why would you ask for child support when a nigga already and still is paying his dues?
40,000 is nothing to this dude. He has probably already wrote the 480,000 check for the 1st year already. He’s probably upset that he has to pay it to her & not put that money in account for them. But I think that the judge could have been more lenient with the conditions of visitation with the girls. I mean come on “Supervised Visits”. I think that crap is absurd. Damn shame she couldn’t even give his ass a whole 10 year she cut it off at nine. Shaking my head……
Sounds like a lot because it is alot, thats more that some people make in a single year. But the Judge wouldnt have ordered it if he couldnt pay it. And weve seen their lifestyle 40,000 a month for those two girls is probably what they are used to spending. Russlell and Kimora Live very well, and so do the kids.
