Diddy Child Support To Reach Over 1 Million?

NY Post Page Six reports, Diddy's child support bill could substantially go up. WAY UP. As Combs' babies momma, Kim Porter could be asking for an hefty child support. Porter the mother of three of Combs' children - Christian, 10, and 7-month-old twins D'Lila Star and Jesse James. Could receive over $100k monthly from Combs, the celebrity divorce lawyer Raoul Felder told Page Six.

"With Misa Hylton-Brim receiving approximately $30,000 a month, there is no reason that Ms. Porter shouldn't be able to get close to $100,000 or more per month in child support. That amount accounts for Porter having three children with Combs and inflation in the years since Misa received the ruling in her case."

In one year, Porter, may collect over 1.2 million in support... Now, thats a lot of money... But, I guess its a small piece of Diddy's estimated fortune over 340 million.
