It’s been one week since Lamar Odom was found unconscious in his VIP suite at the Love Ranch brothel in Nevada. Since then, the former NBA star has shown steady signs of improvement, but he still has a long way to go.
Yesterday, Lamar was airlifted to a hospital in Los Angeles where he will undergo a long, difficult physical therapy regimen.
The cost of his treatment is likely to be astronomical, and though Lamar pulled in substantial earnings during his time as a pro basketball player and reality star, his estranged wife is worth far more money.
So it’s not surprising that Radar Online is reporting that Khloe Kardashian will cover the cost of Lamar’s recovery.
Sources say she began by arranging his recent air transport.
“Khloe and Kris had been working for several days to arrange the medically equipped helicopter for Lamar. As soon as the doctors said Lamar was stable enough to go, Khloe gave the green light for the transport to come to Vegas to get him.
“It was only about an hour and a half trip from Las Vegas to Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles. The cost was $ 120,000 which wasn’t covered by medical insurance.
“But Khloe had no issue paying, even though her mom questioned if Lamar could be billed directly. Khloe appreciated her mom’s concern, but told her it was already paid for, and ended the conversation.”
Many expenses that can’t be covered by insurance are certain to arise over the course of Lamar’s treatment, especially since the Kardashians are said to be seeking out the best available experts from across the country.
Insiders say Khloe has made it clear that she has no problem paying for all of it.
So much for the “Kardashian curse.” Sounds like Khloe’s reputation for compassion and loyalty is well-deserved.
