Russell has to shell out 40K per month to Kimora so her, his daughters, and Djimon can try to survive in this harsh world:

Life in the fab lane just got a little more fab for Kimora Lee Simmons.

The 33-year-old ex-wife of Russell Simmons will receive $40,000 a month in child support from the hip-hop mogul, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled Thursday.

Kimora, who stars in the reality show Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane, will have sole custody of their two daughters - 9-year-old Ming and 6-year-old Aoki.

She also will have final say on whether her daughters appear on her reality TV show. Her 51-year-old ex has visitation rights.

The couples divorce was finalized in January. She filed for divorce in March2008, citing irreconcilable differences.

Wowsers, thats a lot of gosh darn money, man.  It aint nothing to a baller like Uncle Russ, though.
