Despite being a multi-millionaire in her own right, insiders said Kim – who shares North, Saint, Pslam, and Chicago – felt it was important for Kanye to make the gesture.

They said:  “Kim wanted Kanye to pay an amount that showed she was serious about them co-parenting and that he would notice coming out of his bank account every month.

“It’s the only thing she can control about their relationship right now.

“She doesn’t need the money, so she’s going to put it aside for the kids. Same with Kanye’s bachelor pad next door to her house – she doesn’t need it, but she doesn’t want him living there.”

The Kardashians star and her Yeezy founder ex will get joint custody of their four kids.

Documents obtained by TMZ say they will have equal access to the kids, though sources said that Kim will have them most of the time.

Sources claim that it’s his share of the cost to care for and maintain the lifestyle of his children and it’s to be wired directly into her account on the first of every month.

In addition to that sum, Kanye is responsible for 50 percent of his kids’ educational expenses and 50 percent of their security costs.

The settlement also saw Kim getting the $4.5million house Kanye had bought next door to her.

Kanye’s billion-pound empire is on the verge of collapse after he made  a series of vile anti-Semitic remarks.

Both Gap and Adidas have cut ties with him, which is set to impact his bank balance.

Kim’s rep has been approached for comment.
