However, the fact that this isn’t Kim’s first marriage makes it possible that the couple may likely have a prenup and as such the dividing of their wealth may not come with a lot of trouble as imagined.

Forbes reports that the biggest assets of the husband and wife are independently owned and they have both had separate streams of income before they exchanged marital vows in 2014.

However, the complication in the division of wealth may come from shared real estate which includes their Calabasas mansion. The mansion is said to house an estimated $30,000 (over N11 million) bathroom sink.
