He claims he is not interested in money and simply wants a wedding annulment.

But Kris Humphries is reportedly raging that he was 'swindled' of the money he earned from the allowing his wedding to Kim Kardashian to become a media circus.

It emerged yesterday he is seeking $7 million from Kim Kardashian to avoid a public divorce trial.

Big demand: Kris Humphries is said to be asking
for $7m to end his marriage quietly

According to TMZ, the couple opened a joint account where they deposited all the money they made from the wedding and other ventures.

And while insiders say Kris did in fact get money for selling wedding photos and appearing on the Kardashian reality show, all the money went into the joint account but he never got his hands on it.

Confusingly, Kris would have as much access to the money as Kim, but sources close to the basketball journeyman say he has never attempted to withdraw any of it.

Sources close to the New York Nets player say he is in fact not interested in the money, and simply wants an annulment, though this will be difficult as he will have to prove the marriage was fraudulent.

However this flies in the face of reports the NBA player gave his estranged wife an ultimatum-- pay up or endure a public trial.

According to the TMZ's sources, Humphries made the demand through his Minnesota-based lawyer Lee Hutton.

And the website said he has no problem with the accuracy of that report.
It is also said the Kardashian camp immediately rejected Humphries' ultimatum.

There were also rumours that the 27-year-old New Jersey Nets player would be representing himself if the case goes to the trial.

But his representatives say those reports are simply not true.

Humphries was hoping to hire a Minnesota lawyer to handle his divorce case in court.

But California law requires a local lawyer to assist, so Kris was forced to hire a Los Angeles lawyer.

Then, the L.A. lawyer withdrew, leading to reports that Humphries would be representing himself.
But a source told Hollywood Life that those report were completely false.

'He’s simply in the process of changing his L.A. -based attorney. And, his Minnesota-based lawyer, Lee Hutton, will still be the lead attorney anyway in court,' the source told the site. Kardashian, 31, and Humphries were married last August in a lavish ceremony that was broadcast on the E! cable network.
