September 2, 2023 Costner got exactly what he wanted out of the two-day hearing in Santa Barbara court.
The judge ruled in his favor and agreed he should only have to pay his estranged wife $63,209 a month in child support, The child support payments will go into effect Friday.
Costner also shared his fear of running out of money, largely because he's not an actor known for doing sequels and only taking on projects he cares about and/or has financed himself.
Costner also shared that he doesn't take a big salary from his own production companies. He admitted to earning $26,000 a year from Tig Productions and $200,000 a year from Territory Productions.
His Yellowstone salary, reportedly over $1 million per episode, was a complete aberration.
Without the Yellowstone income, Costner's accountants concluded his monthly cash flow for the 30 months ending June 30, 2023, was $468,136 per month.
"Yellowstone was a once-in-a-lifetime event, and that going forward, his income will not reach that level ever."
