Controversial hip-hop star Kanye West recently claimed that he pays a hefty $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 via Tribune.
During a recent social media post, West criticized the Kardashian family, sharing various personal grievances. He mentioned an amount related to the couple’s four children—North, Psalm, Chicago, and Saint—that reportedly matches figures suggested in court filings from 2022. However, neither party’s legal representatives have provided official confirmation since those reports were released.
In comparison, other well-documented child support cases involving public figures have reflected significantly lower monthly sums. Alex Rodriguez and Charlie Sheen, for instance, paid substantial but smaller amounts, and Sean “Diddy” Combs reportedly paid $55,000 per month in 2005..
The legality of the $200,000 figure is still uncertain; it is unclear whether it is legally mandated or a voluntary agreement. Media speculation continues, but there have been no new legal filings made public to verify the information. These claims contribute to the ongoing public disputes between West and Kardashian since their divorce proceedings ended.
