Reality TV star Kim Kardashian is upset that she will "only" make $15 million from her new TV deal.

The 34-year-old star's mother and manager Kris Jenner recently negotiated a new $100 million contract with E! for her family's reality shows, but her children are said to be unhappy with the way the cash will be split, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Kim's only getting $15 million, but she thinks she should get more. After all, it's her who people are tuning in to see," a source told Heat magazine.

Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, along with youngest sister Kylie Jenner, will each land $10 million but think they deserve more, especially with the former "X Factor" host being in line to join the panel of "Fashion Police".

And Scott Disick is particularly "livid" that he and girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian -- who have three children, Mason, five, Penelope, two, and two-month-old Reign -- will split just $10 million between them.

"Kourtney and Scott will get $10 million between them but Scott is livid. He says it's less, as the fee will be split between him and Kourt, plus their kids," the source added.

Despite the unhappiness, it is unlikely any of the family members will walk away from their lucrative reality shows.

"Everyone is up in arms, but let's face it, they can't leave the show. They have to sign in the next two weeks, so Kris is desperate to reign them in," the source said.
