Doing business on a solid gold toilet? A skincare routine that
costs six figures a month? Kim Kardashian sure knows how to spend her millions.
The reality star dropped some serious dough on a custom-made diamond and
opal-encrusted grill. It was one way to promote her KKW Beauty campaign,
as she showed off her 3-piece lip kits accentuated by the flashy grills.
Gabby Elan Jewelry was behind the expensive accessory and showed it
off on Instagram. While it's not the most conventional purchase,
it certainly draws attention to the lip plumpers the beauty mogul has on the market.
Kardashian toned down her lavish purchases in the years after her 2016 robbery,
but a source told People that the reality TV personality still wants
to push the envelope in terms of her style and fashion. The insider revealed,
Not all of Kim Kardashian's purchases go towards her lavish lifestyle. The mother of four paid
it forward in a big way when she vowed to pay five years worth of rent for a former prisoner.
"I'm really motivated to get to know the law more
and fight for people that deserve a second chance."
Matthew Charles was released from prison in 2016 under the First Step Act, a bill
signed into action by Donald Trump, which aims to reform prison sentences that disproportionately
affect African Americans. The former inmate's troubles didn't end upon his release, however,
because he was unable to find an apartment in Nashville due to his criminal record.
Kardashian made a public plea on behalf of Charles in 2019,
asking for any leads on available leases, tweeting,
Charles eventually did find his way into an apartment of his own thanks
to Kardashian's sponsorship. He wrote on his Facebook,
Charles is one of many former criminals that Kardashian dedicated her platform to
in order to lessen the burdens of cracks in the criminal justice system. Kardashian is helping
push for pardons for many prisoners she feels are wrongfully convicted on her podcast "The System."
All the way back in 2013, the Daily Mail revealed that "The Kardashians" star shelled out
$750,000 on four gold-plated toilets for her Bel-Air mansion
she once shared with ex-husband Kanye West.
In addition to her luxury bathrooms, the mansion is said to have Swarovski-encrusted freezers and
nearly $1 million dollars worth of Electrolux appliances. A source revealed to The Sun,
The real question, however, is whether or not the reality star has adorned her
home with the $400 SKKN home accessory bundle she sells. Nothing says luxury
like a concrete wastebasket with a $129 price tag!
It's no question that if you're Kim Kardashian, you sleep like a queen.
The SKKN beauty mogul spent nearly $1 million dollars on beds with her former husband Kanye
West in 2013. According to the Daily Mail, the celebrity couple shelled out a whopping
$750,000 on six limited edition Savoir Royal State Beds to fill up their former Bel-Air mansion when
they were together. Only 60 of the exclusive beds were made in honor of the late Queen Elizabeth's
Diamond Jubilee. The swanky beds were decked out in the same gold silk used to make Hermes ties.
The managing director of Savoir Beds told the Daily Mail,
Kardashian and West were among Madonna, Elton John, and Oprah Winfrey to purchase the custom
beds. Since the SKIMS founder split with West in 2021, it's up for debate on how the
pair decided to split the exclusive six-figure sleeping arrangements.
Kim Kardashian has an eye for expensive marble, so much so that she once bet her mother Kris Jenner
$1 million if the matriarch could find extra slabs of rare gold calacatta marble. Kardashian
got into it with her mother during an episode of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," when she
accused Jenner of taking slabs of her exclusive Italian imported marble and not paying for it.
"I had to change Kanye's whole bathroom—"
"Really? Really? Because you didn't have one slab of marble?"
"No, no, no. We needed ten and you took ten."
Jenner claimed she would find her daughter the slabs,
but it wasn't the first time the "SKIMS" founder ran into problems with marble.
At Kardashian and West's nuptials in 2014 the former couple commissioned Italian stonemasons
to engrave the names of their guests into a marble tabletop. The intricate plan went awry
when multiple guests' names were misspelled and their entourage's names were forgotten.
Their problems continued when 30 life-size black marble nudes were ordered for their special day,
but only 10 of them survived the transit and four of them were missing heads.
Kardashian caused another marble controversy when she posed on her bed promoting her SKIMS'
loungewear. Estimates on the marble slabs reveal that they're allegedly worth more than $200,000.
The mother of four's Instagram post generated quite the buzz, with some users rolling their
eyes at her extravagance. Headless marble statues were not enough to stop Kardashian's obsession,
who spends as much on a headboard as many of the public on a house down payment.
Imagine being so rich you paint your luxury cars to match your mansions. Kim Kardashian
did just that to her $3.8 million dollar fleet. Kardashian told Vogue,
The reality TV star paid
$100,000 on the paint jobs to color coordinate with her $60 million dollar California mansion.
What's Kardashian's car of choice? In 2021, she was gifted five Maybachs for Christmas from her
former husband Kanye West, totaling out to around a whopping $1 million. The star told
Vogue that of her luxurious fleet, the Maybach sedan is her absolute favorite.
"Ok, you guys, my new ride is here. Is this not the cutest thing ever, oh my god."
The SKIMS founder doesn't miss a chance to promote her own brand,
even if it means decking out her Lamborghini in SKIMS fabric. She posted an Instagram photo
of her luxury car completely covered in her brand's fabric. Fans had a lot to
say about the labor of SKIMS love — some were concerned about the car's durability in rain,
and some simply commented that it looks comfy. Even Paris Hilton joked about the stunt, writing:
Kim Kardashian's fabulous lifestyle hasn't slowed down since she had kids. To keep
the Kardashian West household running, sources tell Radar Online the mother of
four spends up to $100,000 in monthly bills. The source said at the time,
According to the insider, Kardashian keeps staff on call at all hours of
the day and night, and nannies are always in tow on any and all trips.
Childcare isn't the only exorbitant cost, Kardashian also foots the bill for her children's
exclusive private school education. Kardashian's kids reportedly go to the Sierra Canyon School,
where tuition can top out at as much as nearly $40,000. The SKIMS founder also
pays for private security for her kids, after her ex-husband Kanye West spilled
the beans on where his kids go to school in one of his many Instagram rants. This comes
after West pushed for his kids to attend his Donda Academy, a non-accredited school.
No one would let Kim Kardashian live it down when the reality star used her power and wealth
to fly herself and her inner circle to exclusive private islands in the midst of a global pandemic.
The SKIMS founder owned her privilege at least, sharing photos of the lavish trip and tweeting,
TMZ reported that 40 of Kardasvhian's closest friends were flown out on a Boeing 777 to the
island where they were given keys to their private beachfront villas. Sources revealed the island
picked had zero COVID-19 cases, a perfect place to enjoy goodies gifted to guests like GoPros,
waterproof cameras, and of course SKIMS and KKW Beauty products. Kardashian tweeted,
Of course, there was a less-than-enthusiastic reaction from social media at the time.
"Kim, there's people that are dying."
Kim Kardashian's weekly beauty routine is exhausting, and not to mention insanely
expensive. iHeart News put together an estimate based on the star's Elle Magazine spread,
and the monthly costs top out at six figures. From $3,000 a day for makeup to nearly $2,500
for personal training, it's estimated that the businesswoman spends nearly
$170,000 a month to maintain her status as a pop culture icon.
If you want to have your own piece of Kardashians' beauty regimen, she sells it — for a steep cost.
The SKKN founder's nine-step regimen is valued at more than $575, but fans have been quick to
point out that the billionaire isn't even using her own pricey products. A Reddit thread shared
the beauty mogul's Instagram story where sleuths were able to zoom in on her bathroom counter which
was void of any SKKN products. The photo showed a Cetaphil moisturizer which retails at around $20,
much less than the $85 face cream Kardashian is selling. One user wrote,

Celebrities, they're just like us!
Kim Kardashian has quite a housing portfolio. The reality star spends the majority of her
time living in the $60 million Hidden Hills home that she previously shared with her ex-husband
Kanye West, but she's snatching up more real estate. She splurged on a $70 million Malibu
mansion that once belonged to Cindy Crawford. It was the highest-sold property in Malibu in 2022,
and the fourth most expensive in the state, making it quite the investment for the SKKN founder.
If you're looking to buy your own property fit for a Kardashian,
the mother of four relisted her $3.5 million dollar Calabasas condo in 2022.
Kardashian also put her $5.3 million dollar Hidden Hills ranch house on the market,
which boasts horse facilities and a four-car garage, and is still for sale.
The former "Keeping Up With The Kardashians'' star has more properties in the works, currently being
built by acclaimed architects. Kardashian enlisted award-winning architect Tadao Ando to build a new
home on a plot she owns at La Quinta's Madison Club in Palm Springs, where her mother and sister
Kourtney Kardashian have vacation homes. The star once revealed that she also commissioned a unique
glass and wood lake house in a secret location that will be designed by Japanese architects.
One particular item in Kim Kardashian's closet didn't just come with a hefty price tag, it held
a lot of sentimental value as well. In April 2019, it was revealed that the reality TV star owns a
Cartier watch that belonged to the late First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. She purchased
the accessory anonymously in 2017 at a private auction for $379,500 at a New York-based auction.
Kardashian wore the watch to her meeting with President Donald Trump when she lobbied
for the release of former inmate Alice Johnson, who was serving a life sentence
at the time without the possibility of parole. The SKKN founder told Vogue,
The trip to the White House was worth it for Kardashian, because Johnson
was ultimately granted clemency, and later pardoned by former President Donald Trump.
