How much does Nick Cannon pay in child support?

Being a father of twelve children is not easy, as it demands one to loosen the purse strings as well as occasionally compromise their bank balance. Nick Cannon is no stranger to this rule. The 41-year-old television host and his partner Abby de la Rosa announced the latter’s pregnancy a week after Cannon welcomed his eleventh child.

The Wild ‘N Out host is known for his unconventional family life and for being unapologetic about it. He has openly criticized the traditional notions of family and marriage and has always been quite open in forwarding his opinions on the same.

Speaking on this subject with Dr. Laura Berman in February, he stated that monogamy is an unhealthy option. On the same topic, he said on The Language of Love podcast, “I feel like that gets into the space of selfishness and ownership”. He went on to add that he takes “full responsibility” for all his children and doesn’t discriminate.

The Drumline star also mentioned failing in maintaining a monogamous relationship. However, this approach to relationships hasn’t deviated from the responsibility of carrying out his fatherhood duties toward his eleven children. Let’s shine some light on Cannon’s personal life that resulted in a hefty child support payment.

How big is Cannon’s child support payment?

The US Sun calculated that the total amount that Cannon pays each year for child support is approximately $3 million. Speaking on the subject to Neighborhood Talk, he said, “I definitely spend a lot more than that on my children annually. I don’t plan to ever have to participate in the governmental system of child”.

Even though he isn’t the last word on leading a conventional marital life, Cannon has over 10 years of experience being a father. The Masked Singer host first became a parent in 2011 to twins Moroccan and Monroe with his ex-wife Mariah Carey.

With Brittany Bell, he welcomed his son Golden in 2017, his daughter Powerful in 2020, and his son Rise, who was born in September. He has a son named Legendary with Bre Tiesi, a daughter Onyx with LaNisha Cole as well as twins Zillion and Zion born in June 2021, and a daughter Zeppelin born last week with Abby de la Rosa.

The mothers of the children are reportedly receiving huge sums of money from Cannon for childcare and support. Brittany Bell, mother of Golden and Powerful is receiving $60,000 per month from Cannon. Abby, on the other hand, has been receiving a total amount of $600,000 to $750,000 per year. The mother of Legendary, Bri Tiesi receives a hefty $40,000. Cannon’s monetary investment in his children’s proper upbringing certainly proves him a responsible and caring parent.
