Russell Simmons to Pay $40K Child Support a Month (mtv, house, children)

[Roselvr]

Just read the story at People Russell Simmons to Pay $40K Child Support a Month

$20k per month per kid until the girls turn 19
When Russell has the kids, they shall be accompanied at all times by a nanny and security person
agreed to provide a new car, worth at least $60,000, for the children's use, until they turn 16. The car will be replaced every three years

While they lived in NJ, the agreement is from CA.

Have you seen the house he has? we like to watch the shows on mtv with rev run and now with angela and vanessa. they often show their uncle russel. that whole simmons conglomerate is very facinating. their empire is huge, and obviously, worth a fortune.

I've seen the houses. I'm pretty sure 3 are for sale or were for sale.
At a real estate forum I go to someone posted the MLS for them.

I never realized how big they were until I saw a few episodes.

Kimora is the only one I do watch though.

Those houses are HUGE and amazing. They had one 4,000 square foot place in NY that was destroyed in 9-11.

$40,000 is just ridiculous. Thats another example of why I was hoping gay marriages would be approved here - once they started getting divorced, it would FORCE lawmakers and judges to objectively look at how assets are divided and how child support is figured out. For too long its been "Man, you pay woman" and that really needs to change.

$40,000 a month..............give me a break! Kimora gets on my nerves,thinks her s___ don't stink. WHY DO THEY NEED AT LEAST A $60,000 car every 3 years? Kimora needs to get real! I'm sorry, even if I was that rich there is no way I would piddle money away like that. Ok, Russell is worth ALOT of money but to have to pay $40,000 a month............ and 60,000 every 3 years for a car.........ridiculous!! Kimora is not hurting money wise either. Can you tell I don't care for her?

Deleting my post was weak. She doesnt deserve 40k per month. Her kids wont see half of it. Would she have a show if it wasn't for Russell? No...what a golddigger.

I can't stand that woman. She has more than enough money to take care of those kids on her own. For someone who was poorer growing up, she should appreciate money more.

[Roselvr]

I'm actually pretty surprised it's so high, or what seems high.
She's a very successful woman, why does she even want his money?

[trishguard]

She doesn't have enough of her own and she wants to create unrealistic expectations for her girls.
