[UPDATE] Retired NBA Player Paul Pierce Ordered To Pay BM Princess Nearly $9K Per Month In Child Support For Their Son + $100K
To Cover Her Legal Fees

#PaulPierce’s child support arrangement with his ex has been revealed. A judge has ordered the NBA legend to pay Princess Santiago $8,508 a month in child support for their son, King Rafael Santiago Pierce — well short of the $30,000 monthly figure she had requested. The order – obtained by TMZ – is temporary, meaning the court can still revisit the amount as the case moves forward. Pierce was also ordered to pay $100,000 toward Santiago’s legal fees and an additional $10,000 so she can hire a forensic accountant. Santiago had argued Pierce earned close to $200 million over his #NBA career and could easily afford a higher payment, while Pierce pushed back, claiming his finances no longer reflect his playing days and proposing a support amount closer to $4,000 a month. He also pointed to Santiago’s own successful career and earnings as part of his case.
