Amber Rose gets over $1 mil from Wiz Khalifa after 1 year of marriage: fair?

Wiz Khalifa

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa have generated more interest from their split announcement than they ever did as a couple. Maybe that’s because they always piled on the red carpet PDA, but not all was as well behind the scenes. Most of the reports say that both Amber and Wiz believed the other cheated. Amber filed for divorce last Wednesday after one year of marriage. The fallout has been ugly and includes Wiz throwing shade and branding Amber as “a nag.

Updates on this story have continued throughout the weekend. One thing is certain: Amber will benefit greatly from the couple’s prenup. She’ll receive a $1,000,000+ one-time payout and monthly spousal support:

Amber Rose will score more than a million bucks from Wiz Khalifa … based on a long prenup she demanded before getting married … TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with both Amber and Wiz tell TMZ … Amber made numerous demands in the prenup … which is more than 8 pages long.

TMZ broke the divorce story … including the fact that Amber wants the prenup enforced. We’re told it’s because she will get more money in her 1-year-marriage than she would without a prenup.

Cheating is IRRELEVANT … California is a no-fault state and there’s no mention of infidelity in the document.

Likewise … the prenup does not mention custody, and for good reason — the judge always makes that decision, based on the best interests of the child. Amber is asking for full legal and physical custody.

UPDATE: We’ve learned there are 2 additional pages to the prenup … and in them Wiz agrees to pay Amber spousal support in addition to the one-time payout. We’re told the support is “modest” — slightly more than $5K a month.

I’d usually shake my head at anyone getting that much money after one year, but Wiz is acting so douchey about this breakup that Amber needs to get that money. She’ll get child support too. Here some more assorted updates:

* TMZ says that Wiz isn’t contesting anything on the financial side. He will fight Amber’s demand for sole custody of their child, Sebastian. Wiz has retained Laura Wasser to score joint custody. This battle should get interesting because Wiz has an arrest record.

* Hollywood Life says Wiz was “blindsided” by Amber’s divorce filing and wasn’t served with papers until after he read about the divorce online.

* TMZ says that Wiz and Amber had been fighting for months. He moved out a few weeks ago. The day before she filed, Amber visited Wiz’s new place at 2:00 am and found him with another woman. Wiz has been telling friends, “I just didn’t want to be married to her anymore.” Douche.

    Well, I’m not gonna weep, cause this was so not the romance of the century. Someone knew how to put together a nice, tight pre-nup.

  2. Skins says:

    Beats working the stripper pole

  3. Dhavynia says:

    I’m actually surprised he had that much.

    Maybe just the peasant in me but I can do a lot with $1M and $5K a month

  4. QQ says:

    Well she was dealing with an entertainer… Smart of her to put some provisions in place when the googly eyed stage was happening

  5. Ag says:

    this is what they both considered “fair” when their attorneys negotiated the prenup and when they both signed it. so… it’s “fair” according to them – or at least it was when they agreed to it, when they prob thought that they would last way longer than a year.

  6. whatsmyname? says:

    I mean if he didn’t want to be married to her he should have told her so they could have gotten divorced instead of her finding him with someone else. It sounds like they were fighting and Amber thought they could work it out? Anyways #getmoneygirl

  7. Mzizkrizten says:

    By all appearances I’d say she had a carefully executed plan all along and she got what she came for.

  8. Samanthalous says:

    She knew what he was about when she married him, she just bid her time and now can move on.

  9. Gina says:

    She’s still dreaming about the Kanye millions she could have had. Miss Amber is living the life most former strippers only fantasize about. She was born into the social media age where she can play it out….ten years ago no one would know she exists.

  10. Tania says:

    Off topic here but, why does he always look so unwell? Does he have health issues?

  11. joy says:

    What is his overall worth I wonder? I mean sure he’s rich compared to the rest of us, but is he saving, making good investments, etc?

  12. birdie says:

    Wiz is actually very wealthy, because he makes most of his money with merchandize and his weed stuff. Amber had a rough childhood and teenage years, being a stripper at 16/17. I think she was defintiely in love with him and thought they would make it, I am surprised by his douchiness. Always thought he was cool, now he seems awful. Amber might be a little golddigger, but I like her and she deserves the money, they both agreed on.

  13. The Original Mia says:

    Amber isn’t some dumb stripper. She worked out a nice settlement for herself. Wiz may get visitation, but I doubt he’ll get joint custody.

    • Aussie girl says:

      No she is not dumb. IMO I don’t even like some peoples comments about her and her stripping past. Some people have no choice but to make ends meet this way.

  14. Jo says:

    I can’t see her going into a marriage, bringing a child into this world all so she can get a 1 million dollar payout and a little over 5k a month. Doesn’t seem worth it and even though she is a former stripper, I doubt she is that desperate. He was a breath of fresh air after the God that is Kanye, so she fell hard for him.

  15. MsMercury says:

    I like Amber a lot (idk) but she seems sweet and this is a good deal for her. I mean she got out just in time (his album is huge now) so he has a lot of money but he might now have as much down the road.

  16. daisyfly says:

    For an income such as his, that’s a rather small amount. That she only got one million and only 5k in alimony says that she signed that prenuptial agreement because she truly loved him. A true golddigger would’ve had an infidelity clause, clothing allowance, and a lot more.

  17. Veronica says:

    If it was part of the pre-nup, it’s fair. I may be naive, but I feel a little bad for her. A lot of comments earlier in the relationship seemed pretty positive, like she thought it would work. I’m a little surprised he was so uninvested.

  18. PennyLane says:

    I wonder if the ‘modest’ (for that world) $5,000 per month spousal support is forever?

    If so, that says a lot about Amber Rose’s background and what she needs to feel secure in this world if she negotiated that amount of money for the rest of her life.

    Sounds like things were hard for her early on…hope she finds happiness.

  19. HughJass says:

    Maybe I’ve become jaded from reading about celebrity splits, but $1 million + $5K/month actually sounds rather low. I mean, I think I’ve actually know people in real life, who I would consider comfortable but not “wealthy”, with settlements like this, or higher. But I lived in San Francisco/Marin county for a long time – perhaps I’m our of touch….

  20. HS says:

    It’s a sad situation when a child is involved. My first thoughts go to the child cheated out of a sense of familial security. The “don’t count on me” card is never okay for a kid.

  21. JessSaysNo says:

    Is it fair? Is life fair? She set this up for herself, took care of herself and her kid in the event that her dumbo-ass husband ruined their marriage. Good for her.

  22. PrincessMe says:

    It’s none of my business if it’s fair or not so I won’t comment on that, but I will say that spousal support is one of those things that annoy me. I guess it’s fitting in some situations. But after a year? Should you be that dependent on someone else that they need to now support you after a breakup? And for how long (forever? till you get re-married?). Ugh, that crap annoys me.
    Won’t comment on the rest since I don’t know what happened.

    • TanyaJ says:

      Why does it annoy you? She just had a kid. Maybe she feels staying home is very important. Why should her kid lose out on two at-home parents just because his dad has a wandering dong? Maybe they agreed that she wouldn’t work, or keep a low profile that would prevent her from making money. It’s $60k/year. Hardly extravagant.

      • PrincessMe says:

        Quite frankly, I was talking about my general feelings about spousal support. Like, I said, I don’t know what really happened between them so I can’t say who had a wandering what.
        Speaking of supporting the child, that’s what child support is for. When a couple breaks up, I don’t think either party has the luxury to just not work if they don’t have the money to support themself. A few month to get on your feet and get it together, sure, but things change and what’s “important” changes along with life. But that’s just my general feeling and I’m surely not going to lose sleep over this.

  23. Me me me says:

    For what it’s worth, judges in California are loath to award full custody to one parent at the initial custody hearing during a divorce. Unless she can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he isn’t fit for joint custody, she won’t get full custody. The child’s age rarely matters. She will literally have to prove that he is a crack head operating a meth lab out of the house and uses the crib to store loaded weapons in order for some judges to award full custody.

    Past felonies for a drug that is legal in California won’t make any difference.

    Now, if after 6 months to a year she can prove that it’s not in the child’s best interest to have joint custody and they have gone through mediation, co parenting counseling, etc, she may be able to get full custody. But then he would have to attend some parenting classes and 6 months later they would be back in court with him trying to get joint custody again.

    California courts do not want to separate children from their parents. Look at the Sheen twins and their mother.

    All of this could be moot if she filed in Pennsylvania where they own a family home.

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      That’s what I’m wondering about….why is she going after full custody? I could see if she wanted Wiz to hire a nanny/someone to be in the house with him because she didn’t trust him not to be high all the time w/the baby, but other than that? Short of him saying he doesn’t want the baby, I don’t see why she’s going for full custody.

      • Eleonor says:

        I think it’s because most of the time he is stoned ?

      • Bridget says:

        Its negotiating leverage.

        But even though weed is legal in CA, how excited is a judge going to be to award custody to someone that’s stoned literally all the time? I can’t imagine that they would give custody to someone that was drunk all the time.

    • here's Wilson says:

      I thought they were married in PA since that’s where they are both from …I know where he is from mothers almost always get custody of the children

  24. anonymous says:

    she take my money when im in need. yeah shes a trifflin friend indeed, yeah she a gold digger that digs on me

    • dj says:

      I do not think it is considered a gold digger if she was getting cheated on…and getting so little money @ anonymous.

  25. Me me me says:

    In California if you have full custody, you can get a lot more child support. Also, it means that she doesn’t have to get his permission to move or go anywhere she wants, when she wants. It means that he can’t take the baby on the road with him. 50/50 custody means that she has to co-parent with him. A possible week on/week off custody arrangement. Depending on the arrangement that could mean that he could take the baby on the road with him during that week.

    Hypothetically let’s say they have equivalent incomes. If they have 50/50 custody that means that neither would pay child support. If she has full custody, he will have to pay hold support regardless of her income.

    California really wants parents to share custody and co-parent because it’s considered to be in the best interest of the children. That assumption needs the presence of mature adults as parents and not one or two people who hate the former spouse so much that they will use this sulituation to hurt the other parent, child be damned.

    And really, why I’m sure that Wiz is a decent human being most of the time and will mature into good father at some point, I don’t think he has any business being alone with this very small child for a long time.
