LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kim Kar­dashi­an is no stranger to extrav­a­gance, whether it’s gold-plat­ed bath­rooms, a pri­vate jet, or rare cou­ture pieces; she’s built her bil­lion-dol­lar brand around an unapolo­getic embrace of lux­u­ry.

But when it comes to what she val­ues most — her four chil­dren — Kardashian’s invest­ment is more than per­son­al, it’s logis­ti­cal, report­ed The Dai­ly Mail.

Accord­ing to a new report from The Sun, the mogul-turned-lawyer employs a rotat­ing staff of more than 10 nan­nies, each earn­ing over $100,000 annu­al­ly, bring­ing her esti­mat­ed child­care expens­es into the mul­ti-mil­lion-dol­lar range every year. But for Kar­dashi­an, whose net worth now sur­pass­es $1.7 bil­lion, it’s a price she’s more than will­ing to pay.

“A few of the nan­nies live in dur­ing the week. The full-time nan­nies are all on about $100,000 or more a year,” a source told The Sun, adding, “Nan­nies who have been there 18 months or more and are liked by the kids get a payrise.”

The TV star has no prob­lem “drop­ping a few mil­lion a year” on her children’s care, see­ing it as a small price to pay for their hap­pi­ness and safe­ty.

The nan­nies are respon­si­ble for car­ing for North (11), Saint (9), Chica­go (7), and Psalm (6), her four chil­dren with ex-hus­band Kanye West. They work long shifts, often 12 hours at a time, start­ing from 6 am, and rotate to ensure 24/7 cov­er­age at her home.

Accord­ing to reports, when­ev­er the kids head out to vis­it their dad, Kanye West, they’re always accom­pa­nied by a nan­ny, which means extra staff are need­ed on those days.

source revealed that Kim Kar­dashi­an gives detailed, per­son­al­ized instruc­tions tai­lored to each child’s rou­tine, pref­er­ences, and dai­ly activ­i­ties. In addi­tion to their nan­nies, the chil­dren reg­u­lar­ly work with dif­fer­ent tutors and take lessons in art, dance, and music, offer­ing them a well-round­ed, struc­tured sched­ule.

The nan­nies are expect­ed to over­see every­thing from the chil­dren’s laun­dry to nutri­tion plans, coor­di­nate with secu­ri­ty teams and dri­vers, and trav­el with the chil­dren, espe­cial­ly when they vis­it their father.

The chil­dren are also looked after by styl­ists.

Many of the nan­nies live on-site in Kardashian’s sprawl­ing home, which allows for imme­di­ate sup­port if one of the chil­dren wakes in the night.

Kris Jen­ner famous­ly employed nan­nies while rais­ing her six chil­dren, even before the fam­i­ly became a real­i­ty TV empire. 

Though the iden­ti­ties of the nan­nies are close­ly guard­ed and rarely seen on ‘The Kar­dashi­ans’, fans occa­sion­al­ly spot them in back­ground shots, ush­er­ing the chil­dren to dif­fer­ent rooms.

On a recent episode of ‘The Kar­dashi­ans’, Kim Kar­dashi­an offered a rare and emo­tion­al glimpse into her life as a solo par­ent, reveal­ing the chal­lenges of rais­ing four chil­dren with­out the sup­port of ex-hus­band Kanye West.

Kar­dashi­an, a moth­er to North, Saint, Chica­go, and Psalm, shared that while her home and wider fam­i­ly envi­ron­ment has always leaned female-heavy, she felt a strong urge to bring in a male pres­ence, espe­cial­ly for her son, Saint.

I do think that my house­hold and even our fam­i­ly is very female-dom­i­nat­ed,” Kim added.

“I recent­ly hired a man­ny,” she said dur­ing the con­fes­sion­al. “I real­ly want­ed a male around that would be pick­ing them up and tak­ing them to sports, and I was scared out of my mind to tell their dad that.”
