NextImg:Kevin Costner’s estranged wife details extravagant spending: $830k in gifts, $448k beach club fees

He’s got hidden public figures.

Kevin Costner’s private financial information for 2022 has been blasted online thanks to his estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner.

The seemingly bitter ex, 49, detailed in a new court filing obtained by the Daily Mail Friday just how much the “Yellowstone” star made and spent last year in an effort to protest how much she will receive in spousal support.

Costner, 68, earned a total of $19,517,064.32 before taxes due to income he accrued from TV and film projects, rentals and social security, per the documents.

The “Bodyguard” star and his family, however, spent $11,921,543.89 in expenses last year, which reduced the longtime actor’s net income in 2022 to just over $7.5 million.

A large portion of Costner’s lavish spending went to his three homes, including a property in Santa Barbara, Calif., noted as “Padaro Lane” in the records, a house in Aspen, Colo. and a third titled “Beach House.”

Each property required a long list of expenses — presumably due to maintaining their upkeep.

The $145 million home in Carpinteria, Calif., home in Santa Barbara County — which Baumgartner reportedly refuses to leave amid the former couple’s contentious divorce — required more than $70,000 in gardeners’ fees, more than $20,000 in repairs and maintenance, and nearly $200,00 in property taxes, among other costs.

The handbag designer previously argued that Costner has “no legal basis” to kick her out of the West Coast estate, and leveraged her kids noting “the children have lived in for their entire lives,” according to multiple reports.

However, Costner owns two other homes that have cost him a pretty penny.

The total cost for his Aspen, Colo., home in 2022 was nearly $2 million, and consisted of a $91,999 salary for his ranch manager, $170,533 for other employees, $34,732 in gardener’s fees, $21,807 for spa services, nearly $20,000 in cleaning services and more.

The “Beach House” was the least expensive, costing Costner $1,178,147 in 2022.

The oceanside property required a hefty gardening fee of $424,000 total, nearly $12,000 in private security, more than $200,000 in repairs and other costs.

Costner also joined a beach club that required him to cough up a total lump sum of more than $160,000 for expenses such as a “child’s education,” golfing and hunting dues and a personal trainer.

However, the movie star did not use all of his annual income for himself.

The court documents also showed that Costner paid more than $36,000 for charitable contributions, more than $830,000 in gifts and spent thousands in credit card fees for each of his family members, including Baumgartner.

However, the mother of three is dissatisfied with her looming financial status following her divorce from the “Let Him Go” star.

Baumgartner argued in the new court documents that Costner allegedly tried to deposit $1 million into her bank account to allegedly “force” her into conceding to the terms of her “limited” spousal support in their premarital agreement.

“I cannot make this concession, do not accept payment, and instructed our financial accountant Francis Shelley to return the funds to Kevin,” she added.

Costner’s attorneys did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment on the filing. However, the “Draft Day” star has openly opposed publicizing his financial history.

He previously told the judge he wanted to keep his bank records private out of fear that “irreparable harm” will be done to him by fraudsters, burglars and “unwanted and embarrassing global media attention.”

Baumgartner has apparently disregarded that request and has also continuously sought to put a financial strain on her ex — despite her being the one to file for divorce in May.

The designer allegedly charged $95,000 of Costner’s money “without prior notice” to him on lawyers and a forensic accountant after she requested the separation. She is also seeking $250,000 a month in child support.

The exes, who were married for 18 years, share three children: Cayden Wyatt, 16, Hayes Logan, 14, and Grace Avery, 13.
