They say you can never put a price on love: how's $480,000 a year sound?
TMZ has obtained documents in the Russell and Kimora Lee Simmons divorce case. The docs, filed yesterday in LA Superior Court, say the hip-hip pioneer has to shell out $20k a month -- per daughter!!! -- in child support to Kimora.
And he's got to keep doing so until 2019 for Ming Lee and 2022 for Aoki.

31. She'll ask you for child support loooong time...Russell Simmons' the first brother to join the Ed McManhnon retirement club.

32. It is child support, based on his income. How does that make it her fault? The court sets it not her.

33. Don't blame the legal system for the stupidity of men who fall for women based solely on looks!!! They get what they deserve for being such big a$$ fools to think their ugly a$$e$ can get a woman that hot without the money being the main objective!! So, ya get 'em cuz ya got dough...ya gotta pay 'em the dough to go !!! People who invest money don't get it back thru the legal system if they make bad business decisions in investing with their money...that's marriage for the wealthy!!! It is either a wise or unwise investment.

34. Wow and all so the homely biotch can do her nasty and expensive magazine ads pitching her ugly clothing line and where she tries to pretend to be a supermodel and looks like a hooker doing backyard polaroids. He's a decent guy. She's a strangler!

37. I actually think the number is low. She and her children have a very extravagant life style. Don't be hatin' cause we don't. All non-custodial parents should pay c/s based on their income.

38.
trust he's not upset about
the financial concerns.
he's troubled because she told
him that he's an old lousy lover.
comparatively speaking, this bedspread
KIMWHORA KNOWS the difference.

39. She is a greedy, disgusting no-talent bitch who married him for his money. I can't stand her.

40. Right now with that number it just proves that Britney is screwing K-Fed over, he should be getting a lot more money but because Britney is a woman she doesn't have to pay as much as Russel. It's not right how people are treated differently based on their gender.
What's fair is fair, you can't tell me there is that big a difference between what Russel has and what Britney has in actual assets. Not to justify a $25,000 a month difference in child support.

42. To Bird,
I want to address what you wrote "I firmly believe that the child should have the same lifestyle as their wealthiest parent. ". Why do you believe this? That lifestyle is at the expense of the greater earning parent. Isn't that punishing hard work and successes by forcing them to pay for the lavish lifestyle of their child and their child's mother? Also, isn't it rewarding a lack of successes by providing a salary for having a child?
I can hear it now, Guidance councilors all over the Country giving the advise to teenage girls that instead of studying hard and becoming a doctor or lawyer, they should just get knocked up by somebody that did study hard. This way they can not only make somebody else responsible for their wellbeing, but not have to put in any hard work to achieve that.

43. Obviously, this was based on what Russell can afford to pay in child support. However, since both parents are wealthy I would like to see 75% of this money placed into a trust for each child. They live an extravagant lifestyle and it appears within their means but just in case their bank accounts suffer a huge financial HIT this money would be there for their children. Just a thought.....

44. I agree with #s9 & 12. Look at the lifestyle those children were born into and enjoyed during the marriage--a ridiculously large home with outdoor AND INDOOR pool, the movie theater, marble this and that, chefs, drivers, etc...Russ 's income was largely responsible for that.
Divorce/child support laws ensure the child (and wife) maintain the same standard of living to which s/he's accustomed.
$40,000/mo sounds VERY REASONABLE given his level of affluence/income.

45. #11 - YOU have the totally RIGHT idea. I think that would be awesome for all of that to go to charity. Kimora probably makes as much money as Russell does with her fashion (if you can call it that) line. I think there are too many kids out there whose daddies don't pay a dime. Send that money to a different state each year and let it go to buy all of their school supplies and clothing to wear to school for the kids whose daddies are delinquent on child support. Hey, it's just an idea and their Precious Little Princesses won't suffer one bit by doing without that $40K a month.
