Kris Humphries apparently thinks that 72 days of his time is worth almost a year's salary. E! News has exclusively learned that the 27-year-old NBA player and his attorney have had a "generous" divorce settlement in their laps for several months—but they've yet to sign the paperwork and officially end Humphries' marriage to Kim Kardashian because they're thinking they could "get him even more money."
Neither Humphries' personal rep nor his attorney has responded to requests for comment, and a call to Kardashian's divorce lawyer has not yet been returned. Well, how much does Humphries, who inked a reported $8 million contract to resign with the New Jersey Nets for the 2011-12 season, want as a parting gift? A source close to the negotiations tells us that Humphries' price tag is $7 million, and the current offer on the table is less.
"Kris is dragging it out," the source says. "Kim is ready to move on, but Kris is hoping that stretching it out will get him even more money." While Humphries claimed in an interview with Life & Style that he has made no particular demands, E! News has been told that the power forward approached her with the $7 million in mind, in exchange for his silence and promise to never talk publicly about their ill-fated union.
"Kim never considered signing something like that," our insider says. "Kris can't take the time to consider [her] offer, but he finds time to do an interview with a tabloid magazine. There is a fair offer on the table," the source says, "but he just won't sign it."
This is gonna be messy for a minute. The damn divorce is longer than the actual marriage. SMH.
