The actual financial accounting is private information, and is unlikely to be revealed unless there is additional divorce settlements that are made public.
Although it may look like fun, the children do participate in the production of the show.. waiting whil the crew sets-up scenes, filming transitions, and repeating "cute moments" that were not caught to the crews satisfaction the first time for us. While it is great fun for viewers, there is limited information on the toll this takes on the children's lives.

- Yes they are. They haven't talked to each other since they wrote that book together
- Nobody really knows why they're in a fight.
- Beth is or was one of Kate's close friends. Who knows now?
