According to TMZ, Kim Kazrdashian and Kanye West a few weeks ago
thrashed out the details of their prenuptial agreement.
The couple are estimated to be worth an estimated $140 million
- Kanye's share being higher than Kim's at $100 million.
The couple have an 11-month old baby daughter North West, and
although a lot of things were being worked out, the negotiation was said to
have been friendly.
Celebrity divorce lawyer Raoul Felder told The New York Daily News
that, although this was not the mother of all prenups, it was still going to be
pretty close as both have careers that could become more valuable and each one
could claim the other one helped their career.
A prenup may not be romatic but it’s practical according to Kate
Saunders, a Family Law Specialist with Langleys LLP.
'A prenuptial agreement could potentially save them from the
financial and emotional cost of protracted proceedings associated with sorting
out the financial aspects of a divorce.
The DASH clothing stores which Kim runs with
sisters Khloe and Kourtney have become a profitable business and the
sisters sell their Kardashian Kollection clothing line through Sears in
the U.S. and Dorothy Perkins in the UK.
Kim also has her own perfume and has made money
from endorsing a slew of products from Midori liqueur to Sketchers sneakers.
She can also make thousands from tweeting a
business or venture to her 21 million followers, along with hundreds of
thousands of dollars for a personal appearance.
Despite making millions in 2012-2013, Kim's haul
was considerably less than the previous annum where her wedding to Kris
Humphries reportedly netted her a whopping $18 million.
A huge chunk of that - around $15 million - is
thought to have been gleaned from TV rights which formed part of the family's
exclusive deal with E!
The happy couple also bagged $1 million from
People magazine for exclusive shots of the occasion, although Kim's 'momager'
Kris Jenner went on to insist her daughter hadn't made 'a dime' out of the
nuptials.
However, her decision to keep the ceremony with Kanye private will surely see her miss out on some ready cash.
'You will see everything leading up 'til and
after!' she tweeted to her fans earlier this month. 'As much as we would love
to share these memories on camera, we've decided to keep this close to our
heart & share thru photos.'
But with canny business acumen inherited from
her 'momager' Kris Jenner, it would be foolish to bet against Kim making the
most out of her wedding this time around.
In fact, a recent report suggested she has been 'cutting
deals left and right' in order to minimise expenditure and maximise profits for
herself and the rest of the family.
A source said that
the 33-year-old reality star is 'taping everything else so she can get
things for free in exchange for the exposure.'
Another insider added: 'They realised how much
their wedding was costing, so they told E! they wouldn't allow parts of it to
be taped unless the network offered them more than $15 million, which is what
Kim got for her wedding to Kris [Humphries].
This girl is so materialistic I don't have the words for her. Wishing her well in her third marriage. Hope this last longer than the former one. Til death do them part would not be bad.
