Kelis Earns $21K a Month, Spends $80K
Kelis has declared her financial status with the court, making her case to receive child and spousal support, plus baby expenses, from estranged husband Nas. From 11/08 to 4/09, Kelis' average monthly income was $21,616.
Not exactly broke, as she claimed to be earlier in the week, but significantly less than what she and Nas were pulling in as a couple while they were married.
Oh, and Kelis, who is ready to give birth, has $80,831 in monthly expenses.
Of that sum, Kelis says she spends $14,861 on her mortgage. Her nanny? $3,500 a month. She spends $15,000 a month on entertainment, gifts and vacations.
You can list those as "expenses"? Maybe she should try living within her means since she filed for divorce. There's always reading celebrity gossip for free online!
She says it cost $175 to have the "baby rug dry cleaned," and that she must buy "storage to bank the baby's blood when he is born. The banking is the collection and storage of the stem cells found in the baby's umbilical cord."
Kelis says she hasn't toured in a year and most of her cash comes from concerts. Man, if a girl can't make it on $21,616 a month, what is the world coming to.
That is ridiculous!!! I never heard of such. I like Kelis and all but that is unheard of. Just cause you break up with your childs father doesnt mean ask for an out ragious child support payment. That makes you look less than a women. A real women is going to keep it reasonalbe, keep in mind your the mother also. Dad isnt suppose to pay for everything. His job is to contribute just like you should. 2 people makes a baby not 1!!! I wouldnt’ even think of asking for something like that. To add on top of that, a nanny? I’m a single parent of 2 kids and never had a nanny. Babaysitters for ocassions, yes. What’s up with famous people always trying to get out of parenting?? You lay down and have kids then you should take care of them. I dont get that at all.
