Following a judgment, Al Pacino will have to pay nearly 28,000 euros in alimony for his young son. Like him, many personalities pay a tidy sum each month for the education of their children, often much more. Kanye West, Britney Spears, Eddie Murphy and Tom Cruise… How much do they pay?
In France, according to the Ministry of Health, the average amount of child support is 170 euros per month. But among stars, the bill is much higher in the event of divorce or separation. Recently, the American actor Al Pacino, 83 years oldwas ordered by the American courts to pay $30,000 per month to his ex-partner, Noor Alfallah, for alimony for their young son, born three months before their separation, according to the revelations of Page Six. Which is around 28,000 euros. A Los Angeles judge also reportedly ordered that the star of the saga The Godfather pays 110,000 dollars (nearly 103,000 euros) in advance before starting monthly withdrawals, but also 13,000 dollars to cover the medical costs of her fourth child and 15,000 dollars for her education fund. But in show business, Al Pacino is not the only star who has to pay astronomical sums for child support.
