I just can’t with these idiots. You know it’s super great to be rich and have lots of money, but then there’s a threshold and if you pass that and have even MORE money, then you start doing even stupider things than filling a walk-in closet with Louis Vuitton stilettos – the same shoe in every colour – and start doing things like paying nearly a million dollars for a fucking GOLD-PLATED TOILET? Yeah, that’s apparently what Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have done at their Bel-Air mansion, which they’re currently renovating. Lord, give me strength.
From The Sun:
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have spent just over £500,000 ($750,000) on four gold-plated toilets for their new gaff.
The couple have been staying with Kim’s mum KRIS JENNER while work on their new mansion in LA’s Bel Air is finished. Now that they have a completion date they have started buying furniture and fittings.
Kanye has ordered six special-edition beds from the company that supplies London’s Savoy Hotel, costing £114,000 ($175,000) each.
They are also kitting out their kitchen with almost £500,000 ($750,000) of Electrolux gear and a Swarovski- encrusted fridge freezer.
A source said: “They expect the interior to cost twice as much as the property. They’re spending more than a million on a security system alone.”
Alright, listen – I love food too, but who the fuck wants a freezer that’s SWAROVSKI-ENCRUSTED???? Talk about tacky. Not to mention that little North will soon pick one off and start choking, causing havoc as one of the nannies has to do the heimlich maneuver as Kim sleeps upstairs in her $175k bed, blissfully unaware.
These people are the worst.
Hmm. It must be some sort of deep commentary on consumerism. Or maybe they just really hate gold and want to punish it.
