Kanye West has claimed that he pays $200,000 per month in child support to his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, a figure that, if verified, would make it the highest monthly child support payment reported in U.S. history.
The statement was made during a recent social media post in which West also criticised the Kardashian family over various personal grievances.
The amount, reportedly covering the former couple’s four children Noth, Psalm, Chicago, and Saint, aligns with previous reporting from 2022 court filings that suggested a similar figure. However, no official confirmation has been provided by either party’s legal representatives since those reports emerged.
In comparison, other well-documented child support cases involving public figures have reflected significantly lower monthly sums. Alex Rodriguez and Charlie Sheen, for instance, have paid substantial but smaller amounts, and Sean “Diddy” Combs reportedly paid $55,000 per month in 2005..
The extent to which the $200,000 figure is legally mandated or voluntarily agreed upon remains unclear. Media speculation continues to circulate, but no new legal filings have been released to the public to confirm the details.
The claims add to the series of public disputes between West and Kardashian since their divorce proceedings concluded.
