Randy Jackson is a multi-millionaire several times over, but according to the National Enquirer, he’s quick to stiff you over child support. That can’t be true, can it, dog? I would think no, but I’m sure Randy’s publicist and lawyer will soon confirm.

In the meantime, the tabloid reports:

While Randy’s fortune has soared in recent years, his ex-wife Elizabeth had to fight to get boosts in child support that reflect his massive income, say sources.

When the two divorced in 1993, Randy agreed to pay $1,950 a month in child support based on his $250,000 annual income.

But in 2004, Elizabeth took Randy back to court and de­manded more money. She claimed he was making a whop­ping $1 million a year as an “American Idol” judge while she was scraping by on approxi­mately $30,000 a year.

Elizabeth told the court that she and her then-14-year-old daughter Taylor were living in a rundown, 2-bedroom rent­ed house in Studio City, Calif., while Randy was residing with his new wife Erika, now 42, and their two kids in a multimillion-dollar Encino mansion.

According to papers filed in court, Elizabeth’s rented house was uncomfortably cold at night, with paint peeling in the bathroom and an unreliable water heater.

But their home wasn’t the only problem, said a source who characterized Randy, 55, as “a bit of a tightwad.”

The source told The ENQUIRER : “If Liz needed additional fi­nancial help for their daughter, like tutoring or a hair appoint­ment, she had to write to his ac­countants to be reimbursed. She also asked Randy to reimburse her for Taylor’s lunch money – just $71 a month – and he even stalled on that.

“He eventually paid up, but his accountants were slow to respond and Liz needed to follow up with several faxes and phone calls.”
