Child Support Deals of the Rich and Famous
From WhatRumors: The Celebrity Gossip Wiki
Kevin Federline $20,000 per month
K-Fed has two children with previous wife Shar Jackson, but his major settlement came on July 18, 2008 when he was awarded sole custody of his two children with Britney Spears. In a court decision that didn't really shock anyone, Kevin was awarded full custody of the boys, Jayden James and Sean Preston.
At the original divorce decree, Kevin was awarded $15,000 in monthly support, but at the July 18th agreement, it was raised to $25,000 a month. This is most likely until the boys reach the age of 18, or another settlement is worked out. A condition of the custody transfer was that Britney receive expanded visitation rights for when they are with her. However, in a sole custody situation, the time and place of visitation is up to Kevin, the custodial parent.
In the divorce decree, Kevin was awarded $13million. He also is set to get half of the $13.5 million asking price on their Malibu mansion. One interesting point in the decree is that Kevin legally agreed to never write a "tell all" book about their relationship. Guess that means we'll have to wait until the boys are old enough to sign a book deal before finding out the really juicy stuff.

Puff Daddy: $58,782 per month
Sean Combs better know as Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, or most recently just Diddy, certainly shells out a lot in child support for his previous three leading ladies.
He tops the New York State charts, paying out $21,782 a month to ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton-Brim for the support of 11 year old Justin Hylton. This does not include the boys health insurabce, tution, vacations, clothes, and other items that Diddy pays out of pocket for about $120,000 a year. He was paying $5,000 a month and until Misa went to court asking for more and won. Diddy vows to fight to have the sum overturned. Really though it looks like Diddy pays for everything, what more could the kid need?
Diddy’s second leading lady Kim Porter, mother of Christian, Diddy’s second child receives about $12,000 a month according to Diddy. Unlike the other 2 mother’s of Diddy’s children, Kim doesn’t rely solely on Diddy for support, paying for her son’s health insurance and everything else.
The last of Diddy’s leading baby momma’s at least to date is Sarah Chapman. Diddy’s baby of the family is Chance Chapman Combs and he resides in Atlanta with his mother. Diddy pays out about $25,000 a month and pays for all little Chance’s medical expenses and when he reaches school age, Combs will pay for private school.

Russell Simmons: $40,000 per month
Russell Simmons is rich. According to some Simmons is worth over $200million, so paying out $20,000 per month in support for each of his two children shouldn’t cause him worry. What should cause him worry is the down right CRAZY child support agreement he willingly accepted. Kimora Lee must be a genius or have some great dirt on the Def Jams mogul to pull this off. Simmons must pay the $20,000 per month per child until his girls reach the age of nineteen and a half or the girls do one or all of the next three crazy things. If either of the girls were to join the military, move away from mamma to become self supporting, or gets married, the child support ends. Once the girls are of legal age to driving, Simmons must then buy or lease a car worth at least $60,000 every twenty four months. The girls Ming Lee and Aoki Lee are aged 8 and 6 respectively, are certainly not in need of vehicles anytime soon. Besides like mom is really going to let them drive themselves! Simmons must not have liked having children to agree to this wonky visitation agreement. He can see his children one week out of every eight and may have extra time added on in the summer and for holidays. The man doesn’t see his children for over month!

Anne Heche: $15,000 per month
Who is Anne Heche again? Oh yeah, she’s the woman who broke Ellen Degeneres’ heart and was found wandering around dazed, talking about aliens. She’s also got a son! With a MAN, ex Coley Laffoon. Heche’s son Homer Laffoon, lives with his dad, when gender-confused mom would film her TV sitcom Men In Trees in Canada, and mom paid for pretty much everything. That is until Momma Heche’s show was canceled and now she fears bankruptcy. According to Heche, she has been unemployed since January 18, 2008 and has received next to nothing in residuals from previous work. Those residuals she does receive then go on to only cover business expenses that must be paid whether she works or not. She just can’t afford the $15,000 a month in child support, private school tuition and all the important things like 2 homes and cars. Luckily a California Superior Court judge took pity on her, allowing her to forgo paying until a detailed work up of her expenses is written up. Ellen is probably looking pretty good now, Anne, too bad she’s married.

50 cent: $6,700 per month
50 cent is a man of few wants. With a grape flavored Vitamin Water, millions of dollars made off his crapptacular rap albums and lack luster acting skills, what more is there? Apparently getting your child support dropped from $25,000 a month to an incredibly low, low rate of $6,700 dollars a month is it. Of course telling that crazy ex of your’s Shaniqua Tompkins, to see you in court over her want of $50,000 a month is also pretty cool. Shaniqua and 50 cent whose real name is Curtis Jackson, dated a couple years back and were together for 4 years, until neither liked the other anymore. Who cares that they had a son together Marquise Jackson (10) and that 50 bought a house in an upscale Long Island town, so the kid could go to a good school district. Bitch, got served didn’t she 50?

Charlie Sheen: $52,000 per month
Denise Richards is one crazy lady. It’s not enough to currently be harassing ex Charlie Sheen’s fiancé for his sperm, or making a fool out of herself on national television, she seems to be of the Marie Antoinette mindset, always wanting more. Sheen currently brings in $825,000 per episode of his hit television series “Two and a Half Men” and pays out $52,000 a month in tax-free child support to daughters, Lola and Sam. He also dishes out an additional tax-free $60,000 a month for two years in alimony to the lady and she complains that she had to film a reality television show called “It’s Complicated” on E! to support the damn kids! Right Denise, you make more in a month doing nothing, than most will make in their entire life!

Michael Lohan:$2000 per month
Michael Lohan is a sleeze ball. Maybe he didn’t start out that way, maybe he’s a really nice person who just lost his way a little bit, but either way who really cares? Certainly not the Nassau County judge who scolded him for failing to pay a single cent towards his children’s upkeep since he was released from prison. For the record the children in question here are Aliana (13) and Dakota (10), Lohan’s children with ex-wife Dina Lohan. Their eldest son Michael Lohan(19) does not need the support. The judge told Lohan to get a damn job and ordered him to pay $500 dollars a week.
In addition to taking care of his famous daughter's siblings, Michael Lohan may also have a secret love child with a woman he fooled around with in 1995 during a seperation from wife at the time Dina Lohan. Lohan may be the father of love child Ashley Kaufmann (13), daughter of lover Krisit Kaufmann. The pair had an affair in 1995 and Lohan has undergone a paternity test to prove if he is indeed the tween’s papa. Papa Lohan has been trying to peddle the story to gossip publications for about $20,000 in the hopes to cover back support if little Ashley is indeed his daughter. Too bad no one’s biting Michael, to bad.

Matilda Williams Ledger: everything
While the exact custody arrangements for Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger’s beautiful three year old daughter Matilda Rose are unknown, while the late Ledger was alive custody was mainly with mom Michelle, though Ledger was always welcome to pop in at any time. After Michelle and Ledger split, Michelle kept the family home in Brooklyn with Heath moving into a $23,000 a month loft in Manhattan. To make things easier on the daughter he reportedly adored, Ledger furnished a spare room in his new loft to look exactly like Matilda’s room in Brooklyn. The world was shocked on January 22, 2008 when Heath Ledger was found dead in his apartment and rumors and controversy sprung up immediately. In the aftermath of his death it became known that Ledger’s will had been filed before his daughter’s birth and remained unchanged, leaving all of his property to his family in Australia. At first Ledger’s father, Kim Ledger had stated that, “Matilda would be taken care off”, the family later decided to donate Heath’s entire estate and all of the money to his only child. It is currently unknown how much Matilda may inherit, but estimates put Ledger’s estate at up to $20,000 million.

Richie Sambora and Heather Locklear
In recent months both Richie Sambora, guitarist of Bon Jovi and ex wife Heather Locklear have checked into rehab for a variety of problems. This leaves most wondering, who the hell is taking care of daughter Ava Locklear (10). While mom has full custody, she tries to make it easy on her daughter and play neutral when dropping her off at dad’s for a prescheduled visit. Though after Dad’s brush with the law and the possible child endangerment charges for driving drunk with little Ava in the car, Locklear might want to think twice.

Matt Leinart and Brynn Cameron
Maybe some will know this couple and maybe some won’t but hey it’s still a case of a douchey dad, and a greedy mom, duking it out over a child. Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart and ex-girlfriend USC woman’s basketball player Brynn Cameron are currently fighting over the amount of child support for two year old Cole Cameron Leinart. Currently mom has custody of baby Cole, living it up in her parents home. Despite critiques of both parent’s parentening skills, they are in court arguing over child support. Leinart currently offers voluntarily about $6,000 a month despite being worth around $51 million after a six year deal with the Cardinals. Mom want to up that support to $30,000 a month, saying that she spends 99.9% of her time rearing the child and that dad pops in whenever. Daddy did buy her a car though . . . It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
