Nick Cannon is proud of the fact he takes care of his big, blended family.

Appearing on Jason Lee's podcast earlier this month, The Daily Cannon host, 42, was asked about how he protects his assets in co-parenting with the moms of his kids.

"I don't care about that stuff. I believe true currency is your energy. I wish I could make a contract, 'You cannot take this much of my energy when you leave,' " he shared.

"Money comes and goes. I always tell people, 'Money don't make you happy. Happy makes you money,'" he continued. "So I'm always going to be good, and every dollar that I make is for my family."
