He had a hard time matching his famous ex-wife.

Nick Cannon says being Mariah Carey is very expensive. She wouldn't agree to any events unless she was paid well enough to do so. And it had nothing to do with the singer's greed.

The fact is that the superstar spent a lot of money on everything, including planes, hair, makeup artists, security guards and more.

"Mariah don't step out the house - it cost her $150,000, $200,000 just to walk out the house," admitted Nick, who was married to Mariah from 2008 to 2014.

It was hard for him to match his incredibly popular wife himself, as he also wanted to be the "breadwinner" in the family, Insider writes.
