One thing both Jon and Kate seem to agree on - perhaps the only thing? - is that Kate has handled the money during the marriage. And Jon tells The Insider that during the past four years of filming Jon & Kate Plus 8, "we accrued $2,250,000."
(Ok, maybe they're not like any other divorcing couple.)
He goes on to say: "She says in the past week I took $230,000. I have withdrawn roughly $177,000 over the course of a year, which is less than 10 percent of what we made. That's like my paycheck."
Was he getting paid to stay married to Kate? Oh, wait, he means paycheck for the show!
