The separation of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, the most powerful couple in Hollywood would be a fact and there is already speculation about the division of assets, which would amount to $2 billion
Although the couple has not said anything yet, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are on the verge of separation after eight years of relationship, four children together and millions at stake. They would be secretly denying how they will distribute their fortune. In charge of dissolving their marriage is the dreaded attorney Laura Wasser, who has represented Hollywood celebrities like Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, and Johnny Depp.
The 43-year-old rapper and 40-year-old entrepreneur signed a prenuptial contract in March 2014, two months before their million-dollar wedding in Florence, Italy. Under this divorce agreement, Kim Kardashian will receive one million dollars per year of marriage to Kanye West with a limit of $10 million.
Kim can also keep all the jewellery and gifts that her ex-husband has given her and be the beneficiary of the rapper’s 20 million life insurance, according to the Radar Online site. But this written arrangement now would not convince the couple as when they signed it, they weren’t as rich as they are now.
Today the situation has changed a lot and the agreement seems obsolete. In 2014, the American singer had a fortune of $ 100 million, against $ 40 million of his wife. Kardashian now owns $ 780 million, compared to West’s $ 1.3 billion.
In addition to negotiating certain details that would not appear in their marriage contract in the case of taking separate paths, Kardashian and West will have to agree on the custody of their children: North, 7, Saint, 5, Chicago, 2, and Psalm, 19 months.
The couple is also arguing about their property in Calabasas, California. Apparently, according to the local press, the biggest stumbling block in the divorce settlement talks could be in the family home, which underwent a total redesign by West and was described by Architectural Digest as “an oasis of purity and light”.

The powerful couple worked in their all-white minimalist mansion with renowned Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt. They paid $ 40 million for the imposing property and spent $ 20 million on renovations.
Still, neither Kim nor Kanye need each other to live peacefully.
According to what was reported by Forbes, the rapper would have a fortune that reaches $ 1.26 billion. But in April of last year, it was West himself who sent a message to the magazine in which he assured that his assets were much greater.
“They are not a billion. They are $ 3.3 billion (which I have), no one at Forbes knows how to count,” said the controversial musician. Despite West’s anger, the magazine defended its figure.
Most of West’s fortune comes from his Yeezy shoe brand. The value of the company is linked to Adidas, which manufactures, markets and distributes the footwear.

Forbes estimates that Kim Kardashian has a fortune approaching $ 750 million. In October 2020, the publication estimated that the 72% stake in her cosmetics company KKW Beauty is worth approximately $ 500 million.
In addition, Kardashian made millions of dollars after 13 years of starring in the reality show “Keeping Up With the Kardashian” and with her loungewear brand Skims. However, her best business day was last year when she added more figures to her fortune with the sale of 20% of KKW Beauty to the multinational company Coty, for no less than $ 200 million in cash.
The couple own several homes, including the mansion located in Calabasas, Los Angeles, a condo in Miami, and two ranches in Wyoming.
Rumors surrounding West and Kardashian’s marriage raged throughout 2020, especially due to West’s outlandish announcement that he wanted to run for president of the United States. West’s baffling political aspirations coupled with highly erratic and unpredictable behavior on social media have sounded alarms around the musician’s mental health, who suffers from bipolar disorder.
The couple already have separate lives and their crisis would have no solution.
This would be the third divorce for Kim Kardashian. She previously hired Wasser to end her relationship with NBA player Kris Humphries after their fleeting 72-day marriage in 2011. Before Humphries, she married Damon Thomas, a music producer, with whom she had a relationship of three years.
