Kim Kardashian has bought Kanye West out of their California mansion – as well as everything inside it.
The reality star and entrepreneur filed for a divorce from her rapper husband in February of this year.
The couple, who share four children – North, eight, Saint, five, Chicago, three, and Psalm, two – appear to have maintained a good friendship despite the split, with Kim famously attending Kanye’s Donda listening party in a wedding dress.
Still, Kanye has moved out of the family home he used to share with Kim and their children, and the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has bought out his share of the house.
According to TMZ, Kim paid Kanye a whopping $20million (£14m) – in cash – for his share of their Hidden Hills mansion.
She then paid a further $3m (£2.1m) to Kanye to allow her to keep the entire contents of the house.

Sources say the couple gradually became the owners of an extensive collection of art during their time together, which is likely the reason for the huge sum.
Legal documents obtained by the website show that Kim is now the sole owner of the sprawling mansion, as Kanye signed over his rights on September 28 after being bought out by his ex.
It had been reported for months that Kim would get the former couple’s iconic mega-mansion so their children can remain in their family home, first bought in 2014 for $20m.
The mansion is now believed to be worth around $60m (£43m) after undergoing extensive renovation and refurbishment.

Kimye are divorcing after six years of marriage, with the official paperwork citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason behind their split.
Court documents confirmed Kim asked for joint legal and physical custody of the children, and that she requested to terminate spousal support.
The documents reference a prenup Kim and Kanye had in place when it comes to separating property.
As Kim continues to finalise her divorce from her husband of seven years, sister Kourtney is preparing to experience married life for the first time.
