Filthy rich Kim Kardashian’s decision to hire a surrogate to carry and deliver her and Kanye West’s most precious cargo – their third child – may have ended up saving the reality star an insanely large chunk of dough!

Breaking Celebrity News got an exclusive look at the binding agreement between the Wests, their surrogate and the surrogate’s husband – and it turns out the stars forked over just $68K, which is pennies compared to the multi-million dollar empire the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is sitting on.

As Breaking Celebrity News reported, the Wests were in the room as their surrogate gave birth to their baby girl at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Jan. 15.

Kim, 37, and Kanye, 40, opted for a surrogate after Kim was told her own life would be at risk if she had a natural birth having gone through complications during her pregnancies with North, 4, and Saint, 2.

According to a contract viewed by Breaking Celebrity News, Kardashian and her rapper husband agreed to shell out a mere total of $68,850 to their surrogate “for all discomfort, pain, suffering, and inconveniences, for pregnancy and pre-birth child support expenses and post-birth expenses.”

The contract furthered that Kimye was responsible for paying “obstetrical, nursing, hospital and maternity care, pharmaceutical, pediatrics, or other costs” for the surrogate, as well as covering all “medical expenses, fees, costs and services relating to the pregnancy and the birth of the child” that aren’t paid by the surrogate’s insurance.

The surrogate is in her 20s and married with her two children of her own. Her parents exclusively told Breaking Celebrity News that she’s spent the week “at home resting” after delivering the newest Kardashian family member.

Included in the nearly $69k bottom line number, Mr. and Mrs. West agreed to purchase a life insurance policy or accidental death insurance policy with a face value of $350,000 and a cost “not to exceed $600.”

The Wests also were responsible covering $2,500 for the surrogate and husband’s legal fees, according to the document.

Of course, the agreement also covers the costs of some day-to-day necessities for the surrogate and her husband. Breaking Celebrity News can reveal the Wests, who reportedly sold their Bel-Air mansion last November for a whopping $17.8 million – agreed to paying a “monthly non-accountable expense allowance” of just $200 per month for their surrogate!

Despite the stingy contract, a source close to the surrogate told Breaking Celebrity News that she didn’t agree to carrying the famous infant for a monetary gain and didn't once ask for more money!

“Neither she or her husband have asked for a nick more from Kim or Kanye” said the source. “They just wanted to bless someone’s family with the gift of a child.”

While Kardashian is officially now a mother of three, the contract stipulated that if the surrogate were to have given birth to twins, Kimye would have had to fork up an $5,000 per additional child!
