After six years of marriage, actress Denise Richards and her husband Aaron Phypers are calling it quits—and the financial details coming out are as headline-worthy as the split itself. In a divorce filing submitted to Los Angeles Superior Court, Phypers cited irreconcilable differences, setting their separation date as July 4, 2025.
But what really has people talking is the jaw-dropping insight into the couple’s lifestyle and financial dynamics. According to the documents, the pair burned through an eye-popping $105,000 per month, covering everything from rent and luxury clothing to lavish dining and child care.
Phypers—who claims he hasn't earned income since shutting down his wellness business in 2024—outlined monthly expenses that include:
-
$20,000 on clothing
-
$18,000 on rent
-
$15,000 on dining out
-
$15,000 on entertainment
-
$10,000 on groceries
-
$8,000 on utilities
-
$5,000 on laundry and cleaning
Despite having no reported income, Phypers is asking for spousal support, alleging that Richards earns over $250,000 monthly through a combination of her OnlyFans page, TV appearances, brand deals, and public engagements. He’s also seeking confirmation of personal assets like power tools, a 2018 Indian Dark Horse motorcycle, and a Ford Shelby GT500.
Richards, 54, has remained publicly quiet about the divorce, but court documents confirm she covered the majority of household expenses during the marriage. The pair had no children together, but Phypers has lived with Richards and her adopted daughter, Eloise. Richards also shares two daughters, Sami and Lola, with ex-husband Charlie Sheen.
The divorce also includes a potential business angle, with Phypers requesting an equal division of Smoke & Mirrors Entertainment, a company linked to the couple.
Interestingly, fans of Richards may recall a March episode of her reality show, Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, where it was revealed that Phypers was actively involved in managing her OnlyFans account—a venture that has placed her among the platform’s top creators.
As the divorce plays out publicly, one thing is clear: behind the Hollywood smiles was a marriage entangled in high stakes finances and personal reinvention. And now, both parties face a very real—and very costly—new chapter.
