Why Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Agreed to $0 Support Despite Being Worth $325 Million Combined
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban finalized their divorce on January 6, ending 19 years of marriage. The settlement included one detail that shocked fans: both parties agreed to $0 in child support and $0 in spousal support.
For a couple worth an estimated $325 million combined, that number raised eyebrows.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Kidman holds an estimated fortune of $250 million while Urban sits at $75 million. Forbes named Kidman the highest-paid actress in Hollywood in 2024, with earnings of $31 million that year alone. (Celebrity Net Worth)
So why would two wealthy people walk away without financial claims against each other?
The answer likely comes down to one word: prenup.
Court documents revealed the couple had no joint financial accounts and agreed to divide property "to the mutual satisfaction of both parties." Each spouse will retain ownership of assets already in their possession. That kind of clean split suggests terms were negotiated long before anyone filed paperwork. (Fox News)
The custody arrangement tells a different story.
Kidman was designated the primary residential parent, keeping their daughters Sunday, 17, and Faith, 15, for 306 days per year. Urban will see his children 59 days annually—essentially every other weekend. Despite the dramatic difference in parenting time, both parents share joint responsibility for major decisions. (E! News)
The parenting plan also bars either party from speaking badly of each other in front of the children. They must "encourage each child to continue to love the other parent and be comfortable in both families."
Their real estate portfolio alone is worth an estimated $30 million spread across multiple countries. Properties include a $3.5 million Nashville mansion, a $5 million Beverly Hills home, a $4.1 million Australian farm, and side-by-side Sydney penthouses purchased for nearly $9 million combined.

How those properties get divided wasn't disclosed publicly.
Kidman's wealth comes from decades of commanding top-tier salaries. She earned $12 million for Bewitched, $7 million for Moulin Rouge!, and $1 million per episode for Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers. Her production company, Blossom Films, has produced multiple hit series. (Parade)
Urban built his fortune through country music touring, album sales, and brand deals. His concert tours consistently gross tens of millions annually, and he remains one of country music's highest-earning performers.
The speed of the settlement surprised many observers. Kidman filed in September 2025, and by January 6 everything was finalized—a timeline almost unheard of for divorces involving this much money.
Sources close to the couple say the amicable split was intentional. One fan commented under People's coverage: "Good for this couple acting like adults in their divorce."
Others focused on the custody math. "What kind of father agrees to seeing his kids 59 days out of the year?" one commenter wrote. (Atlanta Black Star)
For two people who spent nearly two decades as one of Hollywood's most visible couples, the divorce itself was remarkably quiet. No public statements. No courtroom drama. Just paperwork.
The $0 support figure isn't unusual for wealthy couples with prenuptial agreements. When both parties can comfortably support themselves, courts rarely impose financial obligations. The real negotiation happens behind closed doors—often years before anyone files.
What do you think—does the 306 vs 59 custody split seem fair given their circumstances?
