Kim Kardashian West unhappy about TV deal

Kris Jenner may have negotiated a $100 million contract with E!, but her family are said to be unhappy about the way it will be distributed.

The 34-year-old beauty's mother and manager Kris Jenner recently negotiated a new $100 million contract with E! for her family's reality shows but her children are said to be unhappy with the way the cash will be split.

A source said: ''Kim's 'only' getting $15 million, but she thinks she should get more. After all, it's her who people are tuning in to see.'' Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, along with youngest sister Kylie Jenner, will each land $10 million but think they deserve more, especially with the former 'X Factor' host being in line to join the panel of 'Fashion Police'.

And Scott Disick is particularly ''livid'' that he and girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian - who have three children, Mason, five, Penelope, two, and two-month-old Reign - will split just $10 million between them. The source told heat magazine: ''Kourtney and Scott will get $10 million between them but Scott is livid.

He says it's less, as the fee will be split between him and Kourt, plus their kids.'' Despite the unhappiness, it is unlikely any of the family members will walk away from their lucrative reality shows.

The source added: ''Everyone is up in arms, but let's face it, they can't leave the show. ''They have to sign in the next two weeks, so Kris is desperate to reign them in.''

In contrast, Kim's husband Kanye West - with who she has 19-month-old daughter North - isn't part of the deal but will earn $5 million even for brief appearances on 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians', while Kris' only son Rob Kardashian, who has increasingly retreated from the spotlight won't get any money unless he appears on camera, but he ''couldn't care less'' about the arrangement.

Kris will earn $20 million from the contract, while her ex-husband Bruce Jenner, who is believed to be transitioning to a woman, is negotiating a separate deal with his sons Brody and Brandon and daughter-in-law Leah.
