Kanye West has four children with his former wife Kim Kardashian, named North, Saint, Psalm, and Chicago. He revealed through a recent tweet that he pays over $200,000 per month in child support, reportedly the highest amount in U.S. history.
Among other notable figures in monthly child support payments are Alex Rodriquez, who pays around $115,000 to Cynthia Scurtis, Kelly Clarkson, who pays $45,600 to Brandon Blackstock, and Nas, who pays $44,000 to Kelis.
Nick Cannon has a unique approach to child support, paying about $3 million annually for his 12 children with four different women.
West and Kardashian got married in 2014 but faced challenges leading to their divorce in 2021. The divorce settlement included joint custody of their children, half of their educational and security expenses, and monthly child support of $200,000.
During the divorce process, Kardashian shared her difficulties in managing West's controversies and their differing lifestyles. West expressed regret over the breakup and tried to reconcile publicly.
Recently, West made shocking claims about Kardashian involving their children, but he has made several other controversial statements, including mentioning recreating Kardashian's infamous sex tape with Ray J.
