TMZ reports Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have emerged $440,000 richer after YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley settled up after leaking video of the couple’s engagement back in October 2013.
The couple sued Hurley shortly after the proposal video was leaked. They claimed that he wasn’t invited to their over-the-top engagement at San Francisco’s AT&T Park on Oct. 21, but they permitted him to stay after he signed a confidentiality agreement that specifically stated he wouldn’t share any images or video from the event.
The couple sought unspecified damages from Hurley after the video had been viewed more than 1.5 million times the week after it leaked. Those views likely cut into the surprise (and viewer interest) when the stars aired footage of the engagement on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” in February 2014.
According to TMZ, Hurley must pay up within the next few days in order for Kimye’s lawsuit to be dismissed, but having sold YouTube for $1.6 billion, it seems like he can probably make the payment.
