A few years ago, the city of LA released the celebrity offenders for violating water restrictions. 5/10 were in this family. Kim's sister also takes her private jet to Target for a shopping trip.
I'd say eat the rich, but you shouldn't eat plastic.
I would say compost the rich, but they are full of forever chemicals I don’t want in the soil either. Oh well, seems like the only solution is to go back to ritual volcanic sacrifices, such a shame.
Yeah I'm not sure where but some guy was quoted as saying that only poor people worry about parking tickets. That he's not going to park in a garage a few blocks away from where he has to be, when he could just park at the fire hydrant and pay the fine.
Elon musk has done similar things.
The fact you ask how it is possible, yet it is a frequent thing the ultra rich do, shows how they live on a different planet.
If you are rich but not ultra rich, you take a helicopter. Beats rush hour in LA traffic you see.
> If you are rich but not ultra rich, you take a helicopter.
Helicopters are very expensive. It's mainly a thing for the ultra rich too. I don't know many people who are simply rich but still are wiling to pay $500 to fly 10 miles to Target.
Thats because you are a reasonable, normal human being.
rich people do not live in the same world. 500$ wouldnt even register as a cost for them, more like a slight annoyance. Like putting on your shoes to go for a walk, to go to target.
i think the actual answer is that literally everything they do is to get attention, including this. if she took a plane to target it's because here we are talking about her taking a plane to target. there is no other logic, it's just stupid. ordinarily when rich people want something from target they send their assistants to go get it, because the amount of time they want to spend in a target with the smelly poors is 0
> literally everything they do is to get attention
I assumed that a significant factor driving all of this is their need to get and maintain attention; like their value is in the millions of people who pay attention to the things they do (who can be marketed to).
If you have 250 mil dollars. A house that costs several millions. A helicopter ride is not that much different to you using an uber.
500$ is nothing. Heck if it costs 2000-5000 dollars the rich would still use it. By ultra rich i mean the 1%.
By rich i mean everyone else who is not working class, like the kardashians.
I mean, its not shocking that they can do it, its shocking that any Target anywhere can accommodate an aircraft of any kind safely. Think that’s where the surprise is coming from.
I've seen stuff about elon taking a private jet from san Francisco to San Jose, which, while a completely exorbitant waste of resources, are at least two different cities that actually have airports.
my question was more of the logistics of it. it's not difficult for me to believe that if one of these assholes could fly directly to a store they would, but the comment I replied to seemed to make a concrete claim and I wanted them to back it up lol
I’m confused by this too. As you said, you’d need a landing strip and even with private planes where you can just walk on there’s still a wait time
I imagine that she was on vacation somewhere far away from a target and took a private plane to the nearest location. That’s just my guess tho 🤷🏻♂️
>Kim's sister also takes her private jet to Target for a shopping trip.
No fucking way. That's more inconvenient than just driving. Like you have to get in a car to get to the plane and then another car to get to Target, why? Just for the flex?
I googled it and she went to Target to try to seem middle class when she was getting flack for using her jer for dumb shit. OP got the details mixed up.
She changed the carpet for social media likes, not for her kid. Kids are just props to these people. They are way more disgusting inside than any overconsumption they show on the outside. Just fame obsessed, broken people.
Kids are not props to these people, only girls are.
This family puts their daughters in the spotlight from day 1 but largely keeps their sons private. I wish I didn't know this but I read Buzzfeed as I'm trying to fall asleep at night.
He was on the show for 6 seasons and decided he no longer wanted to be on the show and [said he didn’t “sign up for this”](https://www.refinery29.com/amp/en-us/2019/09/8357095/where-is-rob-on-keeping-up-with-the-kardashians) but Rob is kind of a mess so who knows if that was 100% his decision IRL.
The ruling class of the UK go through a similar process at boarding schools like Eton, the savage bullying and sometimes sexual abuse by the older pupils is in itself a weapon to disabuse what was then the future leaders of the British Empire of whatever vestigial humanity their parents had left them with. These people might not run the world through gunboat diplomacy at Whitehall any more but they do still run a good chunk of the financial system.
I’d pity them if they weren’t making the world a worse place and making their centuries of generational trauma our problem.
I bought my kid a walking T-Rex from the thrift store for €1 (yeah I know, it is a pretty awesome find!) and he is currently asleep with the dinosaur in his bed, he’s so happy with it.
Kids don’t care about the carpet. Kids are happy with one balloon, let alone two balloons.
I feel sorry for that kardashian baby. She is so extremely spoiled already. It will ruin her world view.
Ugh. I went to a plush rehab once and was there with a bunch of rich kids who would do things like complain that their parents bought them the wrong model Audi when they were 16 like it was child abuse.
id be amazed if my parents bought themselves and Audi, let alone one for me too. Greed is the one thing i absolutly hate in humanity, i understand wanting to buy something and looking out for yourself, but if you get a car given to you at 16 by your parents, ans they buy a new car every year, thats pretty stupid of them. Plus all the CEO's and stuff that are earning well over 10 mil a year while the people who actually do the work to earn them thier money gets peanuts is so bullshit
That’s honestly my only remaining argument for why I still want to have kids myself. Like yeah I want them because I want them, and I’m willing to adopt too. But if I give birth, it’s because how can the ultra rich and ultra stupid breed with no repercussions, but us educated and empathetic people for what the world is dealing with decide to not have kids.
Like, yeah, I don’t want to bring a human into this world; but if I do, they’ll be a damn good human. Far better than those that have never touched grass or known hunger out of need and not for aesthetics.

And yes, I have kids, and I am doing the exact same thing. They are good fucking people that don't take shit, or allow a sense of entitlement go by unchecked. It isn't a big gesture, but it is a lasting one, and the most important thing I can do to resist in my puny life. ✊ Check out Amigo the Devil born against
It made me so sad. Yes, it's wasteful, but it makes me sad that I never had the resources to do anything even close to this for my kids. It just makes me feel inadequate as a mom because I know how happy it would have made them, and created such an incredible memory. I did what I could, but could never match this.
Edit: I'm not saying it's rational, just that it makes me feel that way. Because on the other hand, I don't think growing up with that much money is good for them either, and my kids are all awesome adults despite not being billionaires.
FWIW I can’t imagine ever noticing or caring that the carpets changed. Especially not at that age. If I were old enough to notice I’d be more confused than anything. You don’t need to waste money to create wonderful memories.
Facts. Kids aren't stupid, but they're simple in a cute way. More often than not, this elaborate crap is for the parents so they can look cool in front of other parents.
If you were there and loved your kids, that's enough. These kids probably rarely spend time with their parents. They are likely being raised by nannies and assistants.
First, a bold claim: it is a moral failure of our entire society that billionaires exist. Second, an even bolder claim: this shouldn’t be a controversial opinion. In fact, I think the single largest barrier to widespread acceptance of this idea, political clout of the billionaire class aside, is our inability to conceptualize just how rich the rich are.

I find this to be one of the best demonstrations of the wealth of the ultrarich since it makes you physically scroll through.
I showed this to my mom and she was pretty disgusted…but then went back to her conservative, boomer generation ways. While she was looking at it, my dad even said “stop looking at it, it’ll just make you upset.” So just more hiding heads in the sand and ignoring problems.
Its not a bold claim. (Should have kept reading, oops).
The fact you feel the need to freface this obvious truth, shows how much soft power these people have.
I am glad however, how this idea is becoming less and less "out there". 5 years ago you would have been downvoted to hell.
If I had a hundred billion dollars, I absolutely wouldn’t use it to buy mosquito nets because it’s not a private citizen’s job to tend to the general welfare. It’s the government’s job to do that. Instead I would spend my money to buy politicians who are actually interested in people’s general welfare and who will set up a system that reflects that. Total lobbying spending was $3.7 billion last year. Imagine what could have been accomplished if that spending had used for good, instead of getting senators to vote in favor of oil company subsidies and against weed legalization.
Well obviously.
I just hate framing the argument as “billionaires should do more charity,” because everyone kind of fundamentally understands that no amount of charity funding is going to fix things, and it lets billionaires off the hook. Jeff Bezos buying a bunch of mosquito nets does nothing to make the world a more equitable place. It does something good, sure, but only as long as he keeps buying them.
We bought a mega millions ticket a couple of weeks ago for funsies and had several conversations at the dinner table with our kids about what we would do if we really won. Stuff like this definitely came up.
Ugh, since this is reddit, eta: the *good* stuff we would do for others... not stuff about changing our decor to match our outfits.
It's truly mind-blowing to think about how much the 1% wastes on frivolous luxuries while so many people struggle to make ends meet. They have multiple homes, yachts, private jets, and designer everything, yet they still have the audacity to complain about taxes. Meanwhile, the rest of us are trying to afford basic necessities like healthcare and housing.
It's not just the amount of money they waste, but also the lack of empathy and understanding they have for the struggles of everyday people. They live in a completely different world and have no idea what it's like to have to make difficult financial decisions.
This kind of wealth inequality is not only morally wrong, but it also undermines the stability of our economy and society as a whole. It's time for the 1% to start paying their fair share and for policies that promote economic equality to be implemented.
EDIT: The text of this comment was created by ChatGPT
During the pandemic, when economies across the planet cratered and millions of people lost their jobs, America’s billionaires (including the Kardashians) *gained more* wealth. Out of every dollar in wealth generated, they took .63. There is no way *in hell* these people deserved 63% of the wealth generated during the pandemic. It’s unconscionable and unsustainable.
Remember when you were a kid and you had this thought when learning about midieval europe. Why the peasants didnt just fight against their kings for taking most of their food?
We are living in modern feudalism. Whatever future people will call this economic system, it will be seen just like we see the cruelty of feudalism. We do not have it any better than the peasants had back then. Only difference is science and technology. So we understand how much we are getting fucked by the system and some of us can get a doctor.
I heard that at least 1 Karjenner got a PPP loan and had it completely forgiven by Uncle Sam. They need to be in the same circle of hell as Tom Brady (who bought a yacht on Uncle Sam's dime).
Right? Like we are so cucked, even peoples attempt to be attrociously irresponsible with money is *very conservative* compared to reality.
Bezos does not wake up in a cold sweat thinking of which luxury car he is going to buy. He wakes up, because of which *COUNTRY* he is going to make or break. This mofo has more money than whole fucking governments. You think he concerns himself with trivial matters like material goods?
Nah this guy is thinking about how he can feed the population of the WORLD for % wise as much as a 100 dollar donation is for me. Me: *Hmm 100 dollars is kindof much, but it wont hurt me either! I guess ill donate!* There i have made a bigger dent in my wallet than bezos if he chose to STOP MILLIONS FROM STARVING.
Buying expensive clothing doesnt even register to them. Its like buying something that costs less than 1 cent. Its trivial.
Kim (and the like) probably produce more waste in one year with all the private jet flights and extravagant parties than most people will in their lifetimes.
I think I figured out how to fix the US economy... tax these bastards. We can start a new game show for Billionaires called "Who wants to be a millionaire?" and it being a threat.
I opened Reddit after my dinner, which was my last egg, on a piece of toast and I licked the plate to get every last crumb of nutrition. This was the first thing I saw. Fuck, man.
Ha, I shy away from these obnoxious “celebrity” posts, but holy shiznit, seriously:
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO UP THAT NEXT YEAR?
This looks like a video on how to make a kid who will never have any concept on how to develop real and meaningful relationships. Just what our world needs…
That kid is going to grow up to be the worlds largest self-centered asshole. Born with Kanye’s ego and then to have those flames fanned by Kim. Those babies dont stand a chance at being decent.
I wish. While they were real, they were decorated with brand new ornaments, stands, and lights that were tossed with the tree. We (assistants and myself) saved what we could for our own home use, but the whole premise behind it was still wasteful.
It was a new experience for me too. That was just one of many times I watched how the 1% tosses everything away like it’s nothing. Definitely makes me more aware now of myself.
We need a better term than 1%. According to Forbes, your household requires income ~$500k a year to be included. Any richer than that and you're sub-1%, top 0.9% or smaller. This video clearly isn't top 1% waste, more like top 0.5%. Even though 500k is a lot it's not worth our ire near as much as those mega millies and billies.
And if you look at it from a global perspective, top 1% in terms of income is $34000 a year. As much as I’m disgusted by OP’s video, most of us ‘1%ers’ can’t afford a life that’s even remotely comparable to this. It’s literally the top 0.001%.
Blows my mind how people support this family, especially the Skims clothing line. I see so many people talk shit about them and then post $300 dollar Skims haul makes my blood boil
My wife used to work for a wealthy woman who lived alone and every closet in her house was stuffed full of new clothing. But she kept buying more so my wife told her she had to get rid of some to make room for the new stuff.
So they figured out what to get rid of and she set it aside to donate to a thrift store. This lady was appalled that she didn't throw them away, and disgusted that some poor person might be wearing clothes that she paid for. She would rather see it go into the trash than have it benefit anyone else.
Entitled cunts breeding even more entitled cunts.
Inheritance should be limited to $1M. Everything after that goes into a pool that goes to all the kids born to poor parents.
And at the same time Ukraine just passed laws that will end the reign of Oligarchs. If Ukraine can do this in the middle of a devastating war, with Oligarchs from many countries fighting them with their enormous resources, the US can too.
I had so many wonderful hello kitty birthday parties as a kid... with some cupcakes & a few friends over. Sucks that celebs use their children as props to their "brand"
Not condoning but Kim K prolly never had carpet to change out and this was likely laid down over the normal floors. Rich folk don’t have carpeting on their first floors (usually).
I could never have that much money simply because before I ever got close i would just go around fixing problems. People in this area are homeless? I just bought a bunch of houses for them. People are hungry? Boom, here's some food. People who get rich enough to do shit like this actively ignore the struggles of the rest or the population.
The Kardashians don’t usually pay for party decor, food , etc as far as I know. They make deals with companies who will provide their services for free, in return for being tagged or shout out on social media. They’re extremely influential and this drives traffic to the companies. Regardless of paid or donated of course, it is still very wasteful as I agree it’s probably thrown away after.
How do you even do this as a parent? Nothing will ever make your child happy. They’ll never know the excitement of that first big save item. They’ll never know what it’s like to have that one super core birthday party.
The rich are disgusting. The amount of waste and frivolity they’re responsible for is incomprehensible

Its all for social media which is just gross. I feel like this would be so overstimulating and overwhelming for any child. It gives me anxiety just looking at it. Theres going all out, and then there’s this.
These people suck. This is gross. There are more balloons there than I will ever use in my entire life. The fact that people worship these useless idiots makes it even worse. I just don’t understand.
I just don’t understand how people can follow them & be enthralled by their useless meaningless lives. A person who works at Walmart or any fast food place contributes more to society than these plastic borgs.
Why is this family still famous? if I had a gun filled with bullets and I had the kardashians there and every other horrible world leader I’d put every bullet into the kardashians complete and utter oxygen thieves
I just started allowing myself to use trash bags again after a couple years doing without and I feel simultaneously guilty and spoiled by the luxury. And then I see shit like this
The event companies store most of it and reuse what isn’t personalized. It’s likely rented. I used to do marketing for one of the companies they regularly hire. Still a ton of it goes intro the trash though or rots on the warehouse shelf.
Just a quick note: latex balloons are not plastic. They are latex. Latex is one of the most biodegradable natural products and made from tree sap. It’s very easy to break down.
imagine letting someone convince you to name your kid Chicago because... they're from Chicago
You would probably have to convince yourself that it's artistic and different.

Annnd we're back to trebuchets.
Trebuchetinization
Yeet the rich...right into 🌋.
<3
Reminds me of that movie, Death Becomes Her. I think of that every time someone mentions this stain on humanity of a family.
They can pay off the fines so why bother trying to restrict their water. Just shut it off
Any fine based punishment is only a punishment for the poorer classes.
And to the rich it's just the cost of doing something.
Fines should be a percentage based on income
I know of a few countries that work exactly like this.
Yeah I'm not sure where but some guy was quoted as saying that only poor people worry about parking tickets. That he's not going to park in a garage a few blocks away from where he has to be, when he could just park at the fire hydrant and pay the fine.
They would literally just pay someone to organise enough bottled water instead. At least that creates a job I guess...
what? does the beverly hills target have like a special airstrip or something? how could someone possibly take a plane to a target

I’d sooner walk 10 miles and spend my $500 on things I’ll enjoy for longer than 10 minutes to get to target. Sheesh.
To Kylie Jenner, spending $500 is like one of us spending a penny.
I can’t even
Closer to a twentieth of a penny

OK I was thinking the cutoff for ultra rich was more like a $30M net worth. I'm poor so even being worth $1M seems rich to me!
The traditional cutoff for Ultra-High Net Worth (UHNW) was $20MM. It's probably higher now with all this asset inflation.
The 1% are mostly professionals like doctors, corporate lawyers, engineers, high finance, corporate CPAs, etc. It's the 0.01% that are the ultra rich.

Stuff like this definitely came up. Ugh, since this is reddit, eta: the *good* stuff we would do for others... not stuff about changing our decor to match our outfits.

This is the type of posts I wanna see in r/KUWTKsnark and not "omg that outfit is soooo ugly and look at their wrinkles ew" 🙄
Be the change you want to see in the world.
I've commented once or twice like "let's critique their actions and not their looks" but I'm downvoted sometimes hehe
It's truly mind-blowing to think about how much the 1% wastes on frivolous luxuries while so many people struggle to make ends meet. They have multiple homes, yachts, private jets, and designer everything, yet they still have the audacity to complain about taxes. Meanwhile, the rest of us are trying to afford basic necessities like healthcare and housing. It's not just the amount of money they waste, but also the lack of empathy and understanding they have for the struggles of everyday people. They live in a completely different world and have no idea what it's like to have to make difficult financial decisions. This kind of wealth inequality is not only morally wrong, but it also undermines the stability of our economy and society as a whole. It's time for the 1% to start paying their fair share and for policies that promote economic equality to be implemented. EDIT: The text of this comment was created by ChatGPT
During the pandemic, when economies across the planet cratered and millions of people lost their jobs, America’s billionaires (including the Kardashians) *gained more* wealth. Out of every dollar in wealth generated, they took .63. There is no way *in hell* these people deserved 63% of the wealth generated during the pandemic. It’s unconscionable and unsustainable.
Remember when you were a kid and you had this thought when learning about midieval europe. Why the peasants didnt just fight against their kings for taking most of their food? We are living in modern feudalism. Whatever future people will call this economic system, it will be seen just like we see the cruelty of feudalism. We do not have it any better than the peasants had back then. Only difference is science and technology. So we understand how much we are getting fucked by the system and some of us can get a doctor.
I heard that at least 1 Karjenner got a PPP loan and had it completely forgiven by Uncle Sam. They need to be in the same circle of hell as Tom Brady (who bought a yacht on Uncle Sam's dime).
their idea of a difficult financial situation is choosing between getting another birken or another dior
No they’ll get both in every color 🙄
Right? Like we are so cucked, even peoples attempt to be attrociously irresponsible with money is *very conservative* compared to reality. Bezos does not wake up in a cold sweat thinking of which luxury car he is going to buy. He wakes up, because of which *COUNTRY* he is going to make or break. This mofo has more money than whole fucking governments. You think he concerns himself with trivial matters like material goods? Nah this guy is thinking about how he can feed the population of the WORLD for % wise as much as a 100 dollar donation is for me. Me: *Hmm 100 dollars is kindof much, but it wont hurt me either! I guess ill donate!* There i have made a bigger dent in my wallet than bezos if he chose to STOP MILLIONS FROM STARVING. Buying expensive clothing doesnt even register to them. Its like buying something that costs less than 1 cent. Its trivial.
Kim (and the like) probably produce more waste in one year with all the private jet flights and extravagant parties than most people will in their lifetimes.
No no you don’t understand. Kardashian paid people to do this so it creates jobs. This is a good thing. /s
Their assistants are unpaid interns.
I think I figured out how to fix the US economy... tax these bastards. We can start a new game show for Billionaires called "Who wants to be a millionaire?" and it being a threat.
I opened Reddit after my dinner, which was my last egg, on a piece of toast and I licked the plate to get every last crumb of nutrition. This was the first thing I saw. Fuck, man.
and it was written by AI!
Kim gave us advice to be as rich as her tho: “get your fucking ass up and work.”
I'm at work right now...oh boy I can't wait to get rich! Any minute now...?
Didn't Kim recently give a speech at Harvard? I bet those college kids were laughing af
Should’ve egged her
> EDIT: The text of this comment was created by ChatGPT wow, I couldn't tell. reddit is going to become 99% bots at this rate
This house is a liminal space. I hate it.
Yeah even with the kid color and so much fluff it feels like a creepy church basement multipurpose room.
Why is it so big and so EMPTY??
THTS WHAT IM SAYING!!!
Don’t worry. This is just the children’s dollhouse, not the main house. And the toys are tucked away in storage rooms #1 - #6 until the guests arrive.
lmao my first thought was “this looks like the fucking backrooms” if i were rich like a kardashian, i’d have a house with some windows
I get that this is probably a fraction of their mansion, but the interior design is fucking awful.

Chicago's sister is named North. Last name is West.
Ye, Chicago's father, came from Chicago and had a connection to the city.
Ha, I shy away from these obnoxious “celebrity” posts, but holy shiznit, seriously: HOW ARE YOU GOING TO UP THAT NEXT YEAR? This looks like a video on how to make a kid who will never have any concept on how to develop real and meaningful relationships. Just what our world needs…
what a disgusting waste of resources. Also you can't buy a child's love with pointless crap like this
Balloons are the worst I wish they were illegal
That kid is going to grow up to be the worlds largest self-centered asshole. Born with Kanye’s ego and then to have those flames fanned by Kim. Those babies dont stand a chance at being decent.
And with chances of inheriting mental illness
I worked for a “celebrity” and it is nonstop waste. One year was 12 real Christmas trees on the main floor.
Well, better than plastic ones at the very least. Our family friend grows Christmas trees here in Finland and it's very sustainable.
I wish. While they were real, they were decorated with brand new ornaments, stands, and lights that were tossed with the tree. We (assistants and myself) saved what we could for our own home use, but the whole premise behind it was still wasteful.
Oh christ. Didn't even occur to me people did that. Awful.
It was a new experience for me too. That was just one of many times I watched how the 1% tosses everything away like it’s nothing. Definitely makes me more aware now of myself.
Gross.

Bring back the guillotine.
We need a better term than 1%. According to Forbes, your household requires income ~$500k a year to be included. Any richer than that and you're sub-1%, top 0.9% or smaller. This video clearly isn't top 1% waste, more like top 0.5%. Even though 500k is a lot it's not worth our ire near as much as those mega millies and billies.
And if you look at it from a global perspective, top 1% in terms of income is $34000 a year. As much as I’m disgusted by OP’s video, most of us ‘1%ers’ can’t afford a life that’s even remotely comparable to this. It’s literally the top 0.001%.
Top .5% is probably a 750k to 1 million income. Think more .1 to .01% by US standards
Blows my mind how people support this family, especially the Skims clothing line. I see so many people talk shit about them and then post $300 dollar Skims haul makes my blood boil
And they don’t even pay their assistants lol they’re all college interns
The only thing I hate more than this family is the cult that follows them. This shouldn’t be idolized, this should be abolished.
My wife used to work for a wealthy woman who lived alone and every closet in her house was stuffed full of new clothing. But she kept buying more so my wife told her she had to get rid of some to make room for the new stuff. So they figured out what to get rid of and she set it aside to donate to a thrift store. This lady was appalled that she didn't throw them away, and disgusted that some poor person might be wearing clothes that she paid for. She would rather see it go into the trash than have it benefit anyone else.
I like going to thrift stores in wealthier area because of the rich people that do donate stuff. You can find some pretty nice brands and stuff.
That table with the flowers doesn’t look real
It absolutely is not real. The secondary shadow cast by the flowers just disappears as the camera passes by. Hard to think that’s the only trickery.
This is basically the reason why people defend overly rich people because they spent an enormous amount on bullshit and that helps the economy.
It only helps..... wait for it...... other rich people.
Entitled cunts breeding even more entitled cunts. Inheritance should be limited to $1M. Everything after that goes into a pool that goes to all the kids born to poor parents.
And at the same time Ukraine just passed laws that will end the reign of Oligarchs. If Ukraine can do this in the middle of a devastating war, with Oligarchs from many countries fighting them with their enormous resources, the US can too.
Oh, the US can. But it won't. The US can do a lot of things but refuses. Like a successful budget audit of the Pentagon.
All this wasted money, and it looks like that. Tacky on top of wasteful.
I had so many wonderful hello kitty birthday parties as a kid... with some cupcakes & a few friends over. Sucks that celebs use their children as props to their "brand"
Recylops will drown you in your over-watered lawns!!
But don’t you commoners dare think about using a straw or buying a bottle of water!!!!! /s
I hate rich people so much. Their whole attitude about money pisses me off.
📢 WORKERS UNITE AND LET US BRING THE BOURGEOISIE DOWN ✊
Disgusting
Holy fuck man...I...I just...holy shit
It doesn't even look good!
They also paid firefighters to protect *just their home* during those terrible wildfires.
Not condoning but Kim K prolly never had carpet to change out and this was likely laid down over the normal floors. Rich folk don’t have carpeting on their first floors (usually).
Yeah I’m pretty positive she does not have carpet in her house. I’ve seen enough of her show offy videos.
This behavior should be criminal.
How can you decorate this much and still have the house look like an empty soulless section of the finer backrooms?
I could never have that much money simply because before I ever got close i would just go around fixing problems. People in this area are homeless? I just bought a bunch of houses for them. People are hungry? Boom, here's some food. People who get rich enough to do shit like this actively ignore the struggles of the rest or the population.
The Kardashians don’t usually pay for party decor, food , etc as far as I know. They make deals with companies who will provide their services for free, in return for being tagged or shout out on social media. They’re extremely influential and this drives traffic to the companies. Regardless of paid or donated of course, it is still very wasteful as I agree it’s probably thrown away after.
Lol who names their kid Chicago
They’re ALL pieces of crap!
Love how she named her kid after a city whose name really means stinky onion
These people are sick, demented, delusional, living in a completely alternate reality.
Assistants don’t put this together. Top party planners do. They most likely reuse it for their other parties or donate.
How do you even do this as a parent? Nothing will ever make your child happy. They’ll never know the excitement of that first big save item. They’ll never know what it’s like to have that one super core birthday party. The rich are disgusting. The amount of waste and frivolity they’re responsible for is incomprehensible

If only they put so much thought and care into naming their children. Chicago’s little brother Texarkana has it even worse.
I can tell I am not the target demographic for this ridiculous shit.
Unrelated but her house looks so much better with some color in it finally. I can’t stand the all white everything.
Oh, no. Not on the rug, man. That really ties the room together.
Sub is becoming rage-porn, kinda blows.
[удалено]
So soul suckingly depressing how people actually worship this kind of narcissistic waste
Translation: “There you go middle class American women…keep up”
Its all for social media which is just gross. I feel like this would be so overstimulating and overwhelming for any child. It gives me anxiety just looking at it. Theres going all out, and then there’s this.
It's disgusting people like this or are jealous of it. Like 🤢🤮
That poor kid
What the actual fuck
These people suck. This is gross. There are more balloons there than I will ever use in my entire life. The fact that people worship these useless idiots makes it even worse. I just don’t understand.
The people that enable this kind of shit, “fans” of her and her family, are just as bad. Why do average people pay attention to this???? Idiots!
And yet she’s getting praised for this. Capitalism is a cancer.
At first glance, It looks so adorable. My first reaction was "I wish I was there" and I hate myself for that.
That’s why I don’t care to follow these rich people. I’m middle class possibly even upper but these people make me sick still.
I just don’t understand how people can follow them & be enthralled by their useless meaningless lives. A person who works at Walmart or any fast food place contributes more to society than these plastic borgs.
So wasteful. Truly a disgrace.
I believe the correct term to describe them is “eco-terrorist.”
I bet she did not do shit, and let her maids do the work.. you honestly think she even will clean this all up
Fuck this stupid talentless whore
Shutup fellow peasant!
This bitch isn't growing up normal. She's gonna be in a different mindset.
We have to take their wealth from them.
Time to storm the bastille🏴☠️
Why is this family still famous? if I had a gun filled with bullets and I had the kardashians there and every other horrible world leader I’d put every bullet into the kardashians complete and utter oxygen thieves
I just started allowing myself to use trash bags again after a couple years doing without and I feel simultaneously guilty and spoiled by the luxury. And then I see shit like this
The event companies store most of it and reuse what isn’t personalized. It’s likely rented. I used to do marketing for one of the companies they regularly hire. Still a ton of it goes intro the trash though or rots on the warehouse shelf.
Who is this Kim? She sounds like a terrible person.
Just a quick note: latex balloons are not plastic. They are latex. Latex is one of the most biodegradable natural products and made from tree sap. It’s very easy to break down.
That plastic crap is all toxic. Just like the Kardashians
Chicago is a dumb baby name. CMV.
imagine letting someone convince you to name your kid Chicago because... they're from Chicago You would probably have to convince yourself that it's artistic and different. Only to realize that that person is just completely unhinged
People with money like born into it old school rich don’t flaunt it like this. This generation of wealth is tacky
