Kevin Federline might stage the part of the pauper to his ex-wife Britney Spears, but in Las Vegas he is king.
Federline spent almost $43,000 on Las Vegas hotels, dining and shopping this year, as per documents filed by Federline’s attorney. The documents were out by the Superior Court on Thursday.
The tabs included $1,445 for clothing at Gianni Versace, $3,008 at the Hard Rock Beach Club and $3,863 at TAO nightclub.
He doesn’t want to be branded a cheap tipper. Meanwhile, his company, Gooseneck Productions, Inc., spent $841,129 in 2007 while earning $544,075. He spent much to prop up his struggling music career.
Federline had $74,102 in “music production” expenses, but earned only $9,849 income as per the documents.
The Superior Court commissioner dealing with the Federline-Spears custody battle has constantly awarded him attorneys fees.
In March, Spears’ divorce attorney, Stacy Phillips, stated that Federline’s attorneys were overbilling, and her client should not be obligated to pay.
One of his credit card statements showed a $1,100 tip for a $2,782 bill at a Los Angeles restaurant.
Federline still owed $343,834 in fees to his attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan.
Spears pays $15,000 per month in child support for her 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James. Her monthly spousal support payments of $20,000 finished in November.
Most of Federline’s income came from his work on a nationwide car insurance ad that aired during the Super Bowl. Federline was paid $377,000 for this commercial.
Federline also pays $18,228 per month in child support, rent and private school tuition for his two children from a previous relationship.
