Kim Kardashian and Kanye West reportedly splashed out on gold-plated toilet seats for their former Bel Air home, and the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star even bedazzled her teeth with diamonds
Splashing out on expensive items is a run-of-the-mill activity for Kim Kardashian. As one of the wealthiest celebrities and businesswomen in the world, she can basically afford anything that she sets her eyes on. She’s splurged on the usual designer clothes and private properties, of course, but here are a few other items she’s invested in that might surprise you.
She bought Jackie Kennedy’s watch

In 2017, Kim K anonymously bought a gold Cartier Tank watch at a Christie’s auction that was once worn by first lady Jackie Kennedy. The auction house posted the expected sell price online as US$60,000 to US$120,000 but Kardashian reportedly paid almost triple for it – around US$379,500. The reality star wore the vintage Cartier timepiece when she visited former US President Donald Trump as part of her campaign for criminal justice reform. She told Vogue that wearing it gave her “some power”.
She offered to pay a former inmate’s rent
The business mogul extended her hand to a former prisoner back in 2019, privately offering to shoulder Matthew Charles’ first five years of rent after learning that he was struggling to secure a house due to his criminal record. Charles was the first person to be released from jail as a result of the new prison reform act in the US that Kardashian lobbied for.
