While racking up millions of dollars in medical bills, Lamar Odom celebrated his birthday on November 6. The basketball star, who just turned 36, is slowing making progress after overdosing in a Nevada brothel in October.
In the meantime, Odom’s estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian, is stepping in. According to Radar Online, Khloe will foot the bill for her soon-to-be ex-husband’s medical treatment.
An insider revealed, “Lamar is still a rich man on paper, but he’s cash poor because most of his savings are tied up.”
“He burned through an absolute fortune on drugs and hookers this past year or two, so finding immediate funds for these huge private health care bills is getting difficult,” the source added.
Khloe, 31, has shown an overwhelming amount of support and compassion since Odom was admitted into the hospital.
Odom and Kardashian were in the midst of divorcing when Odom overdosed. Though neither party officially signed the divorce papers, they were in the process off splitting up.
After Odom’s nearly fatal incident, Kardashian rescinded the divorce papers until Odom is healthy again. Now, she is showing her support by paying his medical bills.
“Khloe told them to send her the bill,” the insider explained. “Money is the least of her worries right now — she just wants Lamar back on his feet as soon as possible.”
