How much does Denise Richards make? Income revealed amid divorce from Aaron Phypers

Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers are parting ways, and the details surrounding their split are offering a rare glimpse into their financial situation.

According to court documents filed in Los Angeles on July 7, Richards brings in a monthly income of approximately $250,000, while her expenses, ranging from housing to childcare, are estimated at $105,000 per month.

Additionally, per Celebrity Net Worth, the Wild Things star has an estimated net worth of $6 million.

Aaron Phypers, meanwhile, disclosed that he currently earns no income, citing the closure of his business last year. He has requested spousal support and listed “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the separation.

Phypers shares parental duties of 14-year-old Eloise with Richards, who also has two daughters — Sami, 21, and Lola, 20 — from her previous marriage to Charlie Sheen.

Phypers and Richards exchanged vows in 2018, and until recently, presented a united front despite past complexities within their merged family.

In April, Richards' eldest daughter Sami, opened up on the Casual Chaos with Gia Giudice podcast:

"We're not even that close. We don't ever hang out, we never talk."

She went on:

"It’s just nice to have that time with each other and romance and reconnect. That’s something that we’ve always been really good at doing."
