Yesterday, we reported that Lamar Odom may soon be able to leave the hospital after spending the last two months convalescing at medical facilities in Las Vegas and LA.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean the former NBA star is out of the woods in terms of his recovery.
Lamar has trouble walking and communicating, and will likely require round-the-clock care once he leaves Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.
Odom currently has nowhere to go (Khloe Kardashian says he can’t live with her, and Lamar is estranged from most of his family.), and the cost of his ongoing treatment may soon leave the 36-year-old destitute.
“By the end of the year, he’ll have easily made at least a $ 10 million dent in his $ 55 million fortune,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online.
“There’s no end in sight and he’s completely unaware of what’s going on.”
Fortunately for Lamar, his ex remains his biggest supporter, and she’s very, very well-off:
“Khloe’s managing most of it, but to her money’s no object and she’s signing him up for the best treatments money can buy,” the insider said.
“The fact they’re still only married in name has everyone on Lamar’s side freaking out because they know he’s going to be left with all these bills when she finally kicks him out.”
But while the thought of Khloe seeking out the best medical treatment money can buy may be a cause of concern within Lamar’s inner circle, sources say Khloe is acting out of Odom’s best interests.
While she may draw the line at her ex moving in with her, she’s reportedly making all the right decisions to ensure that he’s one day able to get some semblance of his old life back:
“He needs this treatment,” the insider conceded, “It’s what saved his life – but who’s going to pay for it all is going to cause some legal hell down the line.”
It’s am incredibly difficult situation, to be sure, but hopefully Lamar realizes how lucky he is to have a $ 55 million fortune and a wealthy ex to fall back on.
