Tia Kemp is an American social media personality and the mother of a son with the rapper Rick Ross. On her net worth, there is no verified figure, and there is a specific reason why that is unlikely to change.

The only financial amount a court ever set in her case was made confidential by agreement in June 2018. She has no public company filing, no disclosed salary and no published accounts. So the one number that might have told you something is sealed, and everything else is guesswork.

There is also a mistake running through almost every page on this subject, and it is worth fixing before anything else. Child support is not net worth. It is money for a child, assessed on the paying parent’s income, and it ends when the child grows up. Treating it as someone’s wealth is simply wrong.

Tia Kemp at a Glance

What Is Tia Kemp Actually Worth?

Nobody can tell you, and the honest thing is to say so plainly rather than publish a number that sounds precise.

Three things would normally give an answer. A company filing, a disclosed salary, or a court record of income. She has none of the first two, and the third was deliberately closed. When the parties settled in 2018, the agreement made the support amount confidential. That was their right, and it is common in family cases involving a child, but it does mean there is no figure to read.

So when you see a confident number attached to her name, ask the only question that matters: where did it come from? On this subject the answer is always another website. We apply the same test to Joseline Hernandez and Angela Aguilar — documented figures only, and silence where there are none.

Why Child Support Is Not Net Worth

This is the single most important thing on this page, and no competing article explains it.

• It is the child’s money, not the parent’s. Support is calculated to meet a child’s needs — housing, schooling, food, medical care. It is not income for the receiving parent to keep.
• It is assessed on the payer’s income, not the recipient’s wealth. A high award tells you the other parent earns a lot. It tells you nothing about the recipient’s assets.
• It ends. Support stops when the child reaches adulthood. An asset does not expire; support does.
• It is not taxable income in most arrangements, precisely because it is not treated as earnings.
• It builds nothing. Money spent on a child’s upbringing is not accumulated wealth, which is what “net worth” measures.

Put those together and you can see the error. A site takes a reported monthly support figure, multiplies it by twelve, multiplies that by a number of years, and calls the total a net worth. That is not an estimate. It is arithmetic performed on the wrong number.

The Court Timeline

Two details are worth noticing. The 2010 settlement was also confidential, so the figure has been private for most of the case’s life. And the 2018 resolution came through mediation rather than a judgment, which means no court ever published a finding about either party’s finances.

The Reported Figures, In Context

Two numbers circulate. Both come from press reporting of the 2015 application, not from a published court order, and both should be read with that in mind.

The chart deliberately has a gap in it. We have not drawn a third bar for the settled amount, because nobody outside the case knows what it is. A chart that guessed would be worse than no chart at all.

Note too what the request actually implied. Asking for $20,000 a month was an argument about Rick Ross’s income, not a claim about her own wealth — under support rules, a higher award follows from the payer earning more. It is reported in contemporary coverage and the settlement in reporting from June 2018.

How She Actually Earns

Her visible activity is social media, where she has a following and posts regularly. The standard income routes for a personality at that level are these.

• Brand partnerships — privately negotiated, never disclosed.
• Platform payouts — small per view, and not published per creator.
• Merchandise — if it exists, revenue is private.
• Appearances — fees are not public.

Every one of those is private. That is not unusual — it is true of most online personalities, and it is why our guide to how social audiences convert into income deals in mechanics rather than fantasy totals. A large following is a marketing asset, not a bank balance, as we found looking at Makeiva Albritten and Luh Tyler.

What Is Not Known

We have also left out her address, her wider family and her current relationships. She is a private individual, not a public official, and none of that is established by a reliable source. Pages that publish those details are copying one another rather than reporting. We took the same approach with other profiles where the person has chosen not to be public, and we would rather a shorter page that is true than a longer one that is invented.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tia Kemp’s net worth in 2026?

No verified figure exists. She has no public company filing, no disclosed salary and no published business accounts. The one financial figure a court did set was made confidential by agreement in 2018, so even that is not public.

How much child support does Tia Kemp receive?

The current amount is not public. Outlets reported an earlier order of about $2,800 a month and a 2015 request to increase it to $20,000 a month. The case was settled in mediation in June 2018 and the agreed amount was made confidential.

Is child support the same as net worth?

No, and this is where most pages go wrong. Child support is money paid for a child’s needs, it is assessed on the paying parent’s income, and it stops when the child becomes an adult. It is not a salary, not an asset, and not a measure of the receiving parent’s wealth.

Who is Tia Kemp?

She is an American social media personality and the mother of a son with the rapper Rick Ross, whose legal name is William Leonard Roberts II. Her public profile comes from that relationship and from her own social media presence.

Was Tia Kemp married to Rick Ross?

No. They were in a relationship and have a son together. They were never married, which is why the legal proceedings between them concerned paternity and child support rather than divorce.

What happened in the Tia Kemp and Rick Ross court case?

She filed for paternity in 2007. A confidential settlement on custody and support followed in 2010. She sought an increase in 2015. The matter was resolved in mediation and reported settled in June 2018, with the amount kept confidential.

How does Tia Kemp make money?

She is active on social media, where personalities typically earn from brand partnerships, platform payouts and merchandise. None of her earnings from any of these is disclosed, so no figure can be verified.

Does Tia Kemp have a business?

No company filing or registered business has been found in her name in public records, and she has not published accounts for any venture. If that changes, this page will be updated.

Why do the net worth figures for her vary so much?

Because none of them is calculated. With no filing, no salary and a sealed settlement, there is nothing to work from, so sites publish a guess and others copy it.

How old is Tia Kemp?

Her date of birth is not confirmed by any reliable source. Several sites publish ages but they disagree and none cites a record, so no age is given here.

Conclusion

Tia Kemp’s finances are private, and that is the whole answer. A paternity case ran from 2007 and was settled in mediation in June 2018 with the amount kept confidential. She has no public filing and no disclosed earnings. There is no figure to report, and we will not invent one.

If you take one thing from this page, make it the distinction: child support is money for a child, calculated from the other parent’s income, and it ends. It is not wealth, and multiplying it out does not produce a net worth. For profiles where real numbers do exist, see Nick Cannon, Blueface or our ranking of the richest UK influencers.
