Nick Cannon pays an estimated $3million (£2.5million) a year in child support as he prepares to become a father to his 12th child, according to an expert.
The talk show host, 41, and Abby De La Rosa, who he already shares twin sons with, are preparing for the new arrival – just one week after he became a dad to his eleventh child.
Despite Nick being with Abby, he is also expecting his second child with Alyessa Scott – who he shared baby Zen with, who tragically died at five months old.
Nick and Abby, who works as a DJ, share twins Zion and Zillion, both one,
His ex Brittany Bell, who he also shares Golden "Sagon", 5 and Powerful Queen, 1, is also expecting her third child with Nick.
The whopping bill was calculated by looking at his income, according to California practicing family law attorney and legal expert, Goldie Schon.
“When you have somebody like Nick Cannon, who's an extremely high-income earner, the courts in California have the right to deviate from the typical child support guidelines,” she told The Sun.
"If he is taking home somewhere upward of $5 million a year, you have to look at what it would take to have the children kept in the lifestyle of both parents.
"Dad is clearly a public figure and makes a substantial income. The lifestyle has to be the same with mom as it is with dad."
Nick, who is also dad to Monroe and Moroccan – who he shares with Mariah Carey – also has children Legendary Love, Rise Messiah and Onyx Ice Cole.
The former Nickelodeon star has spoken out about how he doesn't believe in monogamy.
During a YouTube Live interview, he said that he is open about his 'non-monogamy'.
“It all starts with honesty,” he added. “It’s really just surface, basic stuff. One of my therapists coined what I do as consensual non-monogamy.
"Because to even pretend like I’m in a monogamous relationship, that would be misleading.
"Because, as we know, monogamy defines one thing — and people like to classify what I do as polyamory or polygamy, but even that, I always say to define me is to confine me," he said.
He has dated models, singers and musicians in the past.
Nick previously said that he had "failed miserably at monogamy and relationships".
