How much does it take to raise Kevin Costner’s three children? Apparently $248,000… a month!
The actor’s estranged wife, Christine, is asking for $248k a month in child support, this according to court documents filed this week.
In the filing, Christine, 49, alleges the figure ‘is less than the amount needed to maintain the children in their accustomed lifestyle’ and is requesting that Costner, 68, also pay 100% of private-school tuition, extracurricular activities/sports and health-care expenses for their three kids: Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13.
Wait, what? The $248,000 doesn’t even include their school tuition and extracurricular activities? What lifestyle have they become accustomed to? On what planet does one need $248,000 a month to raise three children? Most people don’t make that in a year! Heck, most don’t even make that in two years!
According to the documents, Kevin made nearly $20 million in 2022, and the family spent nearly $7 million, not including taxes.
The net income for the family, after all expenses and taxes, was $7,595,520. Some of the expenses listed include regular travel to the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Aspen, and regular entertaining of guests, requiring caterers or chefs. In addition, the upkeep of their several large properties costs about $2 million a year.
Geez. That’s wild. And just imagine, Costner is *only* worth around $250 million. Can you imagine how billionaires are living?
For what it’s worth, Costner has agreed to pay $38,000 a month in child support, so it looks like they may have to meet in the middle.
You think those poor kids could handle $100,000 a month?
