Basketball Wives’ Kenya Bell gets HALF in divorce from ex-NBA player Charlie Bell

Basketball Wives Kenya Bell may not have been the one to file for divorce but she’s the one that cashed in big time. Kenya’s ex-husband, former NBA player Charlie Bell, was attempting to get alimony from Kenya since she was raking in those VH1 $$ and he’s currently playing overseas. But a judge ruled in Kenya’s favor, awarding her child support, homes and a portion of Charlie’s 401K and pension. TMZ has the details:

Kids: Charlie has to shell out $1,000/month in child support, but they’ll share custody of their two children. Neither party has to cough up spousal support.

Homes: Kenya scored the marital home in Michigan, along with the home bought for her parents. Charlie gets the condo in Vegas and the home he bought his parents.

Money: Kenya was awarded $780,000 cash from Charlie’s savings … leaving him with $656,000. She also gets half of the $670,000 from another account.

Here’s where Kenya wins big: she gets HALF OF EVERYTHING from the following: Charlie’s NBA 401k plan, his NBA retirement plan, his NBA pension, NBA welfare plan and NBA supplement benefit plan.

Now, before you start to go in, yelling “she wasn’t with him shooting in the gym,” keep in mind that the two have been together since college and Kenya supported Charlie early in his career when he had to cut his teeth the first time around on overseas contracts.
So while everyone is fond of telling athletes that the person whose been there in the “beginning” will be the most loyal/real, don’t ever think they won’t take your money too. When things go bad, the gloves come off.
