NICK Cannon is set “to pay nearly $3 million a year in child support” and two baby mamas will make thousands more than the others.
Nick, 41, just welcomed his ninth child- daughter Onyx Ice, it’s his first with model LaNisha Cole, 40.

Nick is expecting his 10th and 11th children with previous baby mama models Abbey de la Rose and Brittany Bell.
The jaw-dropping $3 million amount was calculated by taking into account several factors which include Nick’s status as a high earner, 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.”
The lawyer explained that The Masked Singer host’s “net worth does not get taken into account, but his yearly income does. 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 as if when children are with mom, it’s as if they were still at the same lifestyle is when they’re with dad.”
SO THEY’RE EXPECTING… HOW MUCH?
Nick’s newest addition to his one-man baby boom which with LaNisha will likely cost him around $40,000 a month in child support to keep her and their newborn daughter Onyx in the lifestyle of both parents.
It was also recently revealed that Brittany, 34, is expecting her third child with the former daytime talk show host.
It’s estimated Nick is paying somewhere “around $60,000 a month plus any other expenses added on,” to Brittany Bell, 34, the mother of his children Golden, 5, and Powerful Queen, 1.
A third child with Brittany would tack on another $20,000 to her monthly child support payments- bringing the total to $80,000 a month for her when she delivers.
Each additional child after the first is calculated around one-and-a-half under California child support rules.
When it comes to Abbey De La Rosa, Goldie said that since she already has twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, who are about to turn one, giving birth to her third child with the multihyphenate could potentially kick her yearly child support to astronomical levels matching those of fellow mama Brittany.
“Abbey was probably getting between $600,000 and $750,000 a year from him just in child support, then plus, plus, plus things he’s probably also paying for like school or child care- all of those extras. You add her upcoming third child in and that likely kicks her to making close to a cool million a year,” Goldie estimates.
While the amounts Abbey and Brittany are estimated to receive once they both deliver their third children with the performer seem exorbitant, the legal expert said that having another child with Abbey and Brittany is going to be cheaper than having one with the new baby mama due to the California calculations.
In the sunshine state, each additional child with the same woman isn’t a double calculation, it’s more like an additional half the amount of the first child.
“It’s almost like he’s getting he’s getting a discount with Abbey and Brittany having a third child,” Goldie said.
Nick recently had yet another child, Legendary Cannon, with model Bre Tiesi, and Goldie estimates she is getting around $40,000 a month from the Wild N Out host for that baby boy.
“Having children is a great way of maintaining your lifestyle, I mean- it’s nice work if you can get it,” the legal expert teased.
Between LaNisha’s new addition at $40,000 a month and Bre’s son at $40,000 a month then factoring in baby number three for both Brittany and Abbey at $80,000 a month each, Nick is estimated to be paying nearly $3 million a year in child support, according to Goldie.
The legal expert believes Nick likely does not pay child support to Mariah Carey, 52, for their eleven-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, since she is believed to make more than he does, and she suggests the pop-icon may even be paying the TV host instead.
Nick tragically lost his son, Zen, who Alyssa Scott gave birth to in 2021.
As Goldie explained, there is no way of telling for sure how much each woman is getting, because “none of it is in the public record. This man actually has the ability to have children with women who don’t litigate against him. He’s clearly been so generous with his finances and his income that he’s stopped them from going to the courthouse.”
“While Nick may very well be keeping his mothers and children financially stable, the hard part is being there for the children and parenting. I would like to see Nick cannon do more of that,” Goldie added.
OUT OF COURT IS BEST
“If any of these women ever wanted additional funds, my guess would be I guess he’s giving it to them because it’s cheaper to come to a resolution than to engage attorneys,” she added.
Goldie believes by Nick being generous with his funds, he is playing it smart and keeping his private life out of the public eye.
“It’s probably Nick Cannon’s strategy and a way to keep his financials out of the public eye. Because otherwise, his dirty laundry would get exposed. This way, nobody knows what’s going on in these relationships. No pleadings get filed. And nobody knows anything,” Goldie added.
BABY 11 & 12 UP NEXT
For Abbey’s third child with Nick, sources told TMZ that that child is due on October 25.
Brittany has not let on to when her due date is, but it is speculated she is in her third trimester.
