Ru$$ell: How Much Do You Love Your Kids?

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. Well then "b" let me quote Nora "Why does she need his money then?"

Unless people oppose the laws that allow for a rich mogul like Kimora to siphon money from her ex, this will continue. Russell Simons should be allowed to spend every penny he makes because he earned it. She is obviously capable of raising their children comfortably, so why on earth would a Judge award that kind of child support? Because that Judge is bound by the law, that's why.

Russell Simons is like an annuity to her and that is not fair. It’s logic like “Well he has a lot of money” or “that’s nothing to him” that allows this inequality to continue, and attracts unscrupulous women to successful men. If they didn’t get a pay day they would not be drawn.

32. He is worth 340 million. This is pocket change to him and I doubt he minds paying it to her. He is a good dad and they still have a good relationship despite the divorce. Kimora works and makes a good living on her own. She's not a lazy housewife with her hand out like Linda Hogan and K-Fed..

33. 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.....

34. Hey, uh "genghis"! You think Russell Simmons is a "black thug"? Hahahaha, do you have any idea who he is other then the fact that he is black?

Oh, and Ed McMahon squandered his money and is broke at 81… and he's White. I guess your advise shouldn't be directed only to "black thugs".

Idiot!

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

You must really believe all black people are bad. Russell Simmons is a 50 year old man. He is not a thug nor has he ever been. He is not a rapper nor has he ever been. He is a business mogul and has been for 30 years. He has made several people wealthy including his child molestation victim/wife Kimora who he has been dating since she was a teenaged model.

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

40. 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.

41. 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!

42. 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.

43. Hey a judge gave naked cowboy the ok to sue M&M. Maybe he will be able to afford some clothes now :O)

44.
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.

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