The Most Ridiculous Things The Kardashians Have Spent Money On

Whether you keep up with the Kardashians or totally tune them out, pretty much everyone knows that the famous family is rich, and they aren't afraid to flaunt it — no matter who it offends. Who can forget the time Kim Kardashian had fans seeing red when she took her brood and pals to a private island for her 40th birthday amid a global pandemic... and proceeded to Instagram her entire getaway? Oh, Kim, read the room! 

With all their money, the Kardashian-Jenners are known for spoiling themselves and each other with expensive gifts, crazy furniture, and other various grand gestures. And this is no surprise since the members of the KarJenner family are all at least millionaires, with some even close to being billionaires. But even for them, sometimes they spend their money in ways that are just plain ridiculous.

Are you ready to keep up with the countless receipts and tabs this clan has managed to rack up? If so, let's dive into the most ridiculous things the Kardashians have spent money on.

In January 2020, Kim Kardashian took to social media to give fans a tour of her and her husband Kanye West's kitchen. She showed everything from their multiple pantries to their frozen yogurt machine and fully stocked topping bar.

But fans were particularly captivated when Kardashian showed off five of their refrigerators. Yes, they have almost as many fridges as people in their house. Each fridge seemed to serve a different purpose, with one being for just beverages alone. And while having so many fridges seems unnecessary to begin with, one, in particular, was just plain ridiculous. Kardashian walked fans through their restaurant-style walk-in fridge where they keep their fresh produce. This specific fridge caused quite the stir on social media with fans tweeting things like, "Your fridge is bigger than my house," and, "You're telling us there's a supermarket in your house."

And while Kardashian showed five of her fridges during her tour, Daily Mail has also previously reported that Kardashian and West also own another fridge that's covered in Swarovski crystals. The outlet reported that the couple has around $1 million worth of kitchen appliances, which is a lot even for their large family. With that many fridges, they could be running a full-blown restaurant out of their home!

Ever wonder how Kylie Jenner spends her millions? On her daughter, of course. In April 2018, Jenner and Travis Scott's daughter Stormi Webster was only a few months old, but she was already repping high-end designers. Jenner took to Instagram and shared a pic taking her daughter out for a little stroll. The only difference between this photo and a regular new mom pic? A Fendi stroller and matching outfit to go with it.

Strollers are already an expensive item for parents, with the average baby stroller costing hundreds of dollars. But Jenner, who Forbes once called the "youngest self-made billionaire," unsurprisingly took that to a whole new level with a designer stroller for her daughter. The particular custom stroller Jenner is pushing isn't listed on Fendi's website, but Teen Vogue reported that it cost Jenner a whopping $12,500. As for the matching dress? This similar one is on Fendi's site and costs $1,100. Over $13,500 is a hefty price tag for an afternoon walk, but that's just the KarJenners for you.

Kendall Jenner's July 2020 AD house tour gave fans a peek inside her $8.5 million Los Angeles home. The house tour was full of custom art, a 300-pound sink, and tons of designer clothes. At the time, the Daily Mail reported that some of the art pieces in Jenner's home are worth upwards of $500,000, but one item in her home, in particular, was a major talking point amongst fans. While Jenner has multiple impressive art pieces, fans couldn't help but be captivated by her giant gold bathtub.

The Sun reported that Jenner dropped around £40,000 for that tub (roughly $52,665), but thankfully, she gets some good use out of it. During her AD interview, Jenner said, "I get a lot of love for my gold tub. I'd say at least three times a week I'm in this tub. It's my favorite ever." For that price point, at least it doesn't just sit there collecting dust!

But a gold bathtub isn't the only obscure home item Jenner has spent a ridiculous amount of money on. In November 2016, Jenner shared on her now-deleted blog (via AD) that she purchased a $52,000 couch that looks more like a giant ball of yarn than a couch. The furniture designer described it as "a large woven nest," and on her former blog, Jenner wrote, "[It's] all woven and a really groovy navy with purple shimmer." To each their own when you have millions of dollars to blow.

Kendall Jenner isn't the only one who enjoys gold details in her bathroom. Let's move on to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's gold toilets, which might just be the most ridiculously expensive item of all time. In July 2013, the Daily Mail reported that while redecorating their Bel Air mansion, Kardashian and West spent a whopping $750,000 on "four gold-plated toilets." Toilets can cost as little as $100, so almost a million dollars is astronomical spending for this average household item. And while this may seem like literally flushing money away, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Kardashian and West are reportedly worth about four billion dollars together. Anything is possible when you've got that much money — even gold toilets.

But, even after their many expensive renovations, including the gold toilets, in 2015, Forbes revealed that Kardashian and West ended up putting their Bel Air home on the market for $20 million. As the outlet notes, after they restored their "dream house ... the paint barely dried before they had a change of heart." The couple ended up moving to an even bigger 16,000-square-foot home in Hidden Hills, California, just minutes away from Kris Jenner.

For Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's daughter Chicago's first birthday, Kris Jenner decided to pass down the Kardashian family's obsession with designer goods down to their one-year-old.

Jenner gave Chicago a $3,650 limited-edition Louis Vuitton music box. Many people probably didn't know that Louis Vuitton even sold music boxes, but hey, the Kardashians seem like they're willing to buy just about anything with a designer logo slapped on it. At the time of this writing, it's still available on Louis Vuitton's website if you've got cash to burn.

The limited-edition music box is a rare item for anyone to own, much less a one-year-old, but when you already have a closet full of Yeezys before your first birthday, the sky's the limit. In January 2019, Kardashian took to her Instagram stories to show off the gift saying, "How cute is my mom? For Chi's birthday, she got her this." Fans were quick to react to the video, commenting things like, "Does it need to be a Louis for a baby tho?" and, "why does it have to be LV?" But none of that has stopped the KarJenner fam from continuing to spoil their babies with designer gifts.

The Kardashians don't only spend absurd amounts of money on expensive items; they also know how to cash out on lavish vacations. Whether they're renting out private planes, private islands, or shopping 'til they drop, the bills can really start to add up to ridiculous amounts. In August 2019, R Online reported that Kourtney Kardashian spent around $1 million on a trip to Europe with her three children and some friends.

Anyone who's been to Europe knows that Eurotrips aren't cheap, to begin with. A couple of weeks of food, hotels, and airfare will definitely put travelers out a few thousand dollars... but a million dollars?! How did Kourtney manage to spend that much? Well, an insider told R Online that, "Between the private air travel, security bills, five-star lodgings and shopping splurges, Kourt's spent a fortune." 

Kardashian shared a series of photos from her extravagant vacation on Instagram from locations like Portofino and Sardegna, Italy. In one of her posts, Kardashian did note how thankful she was for trip writing, "Feeling overwhelmingly grateful for the past few weeks spent together in Italy and so in awe of God's creation there was nothing for me to do but cry (happy tears)."

Fans who follow the Kardashians on social media know that they go all out when it comes to parties. Whether that's their annual holiday party, baby showers, or birthday parties, they don't spare any expense. And this unsurprisingly also applies to birthday parties for their babies. In April 2019, Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson's daughter True celebrated her first birthday with an elaborate party complete with unicorns, butterflies, and a lot of balloons. But these weren't your typical balloons for a one-year-old's party. Kardashian went all out with massive, multi-colored balloons that spread across the entire party.

All About Balloons CEO Caity Byrne, who didn't create the balloon display for True's party, but has made arrangements for the White House, spoke to People about Kardashian's balloons. Byrne said there were multiple arrangements, including a balloon wall that had over 2,000 balloons and multiple balloon arches that had around 300 balloons each. Byrne claimed that the total for the balloon displays for True's first birthday probably cost Kardashian around $8,500. That's a lot of money for something that's eventually going to end up in the trash, no?

Fans of Rob Kardashian may not know that he has a very costly hobby — collecting rare sports cards. In October 2020, TMZ reported that Kardashian, who has a massive sports card collection, went on a late-night shopping spree at his favorite sports card store, The Bullpen in Los Angeles. At the shop, Rob reportedly bought a case of 2020 Panini Mosaic Choice cards, which comes with around 20 boxes. It's unclear exactly how much Rob paid for the case, but according to TMZ, these cases can be tens of thousands of dollars. That's certainly not a hobby for the faint of heart or wallet!

Thankfully, Kardashian's recent purchase paid off because, in his new case, he came across multiple top-notch finds, including his rarest card yet, an insanely rare Tom Brady card. TMZ and Daily Mail reported that the Brady card could allegedly be worth around $250,000, depending on the condition. Shortly after the news of Kardashian's purchase broke, The Bullpen shared a photo of the card on Instagram, where it appears to be in perfect condition. It looks like Kardashian's ridiculously expensive hobby made him the proud owner of a $250,000 sports card.

In June 2017, TMZ reported that Kim Kardashian secretly bid on and won one of the former First Lady Jackie Kennedy's very expensive timepieces. At a Christie's auction, Kardashian supposedly bid $379,500 on Kennedy's personally engraved Cartier watch. Kennedy received the watch as a gift in 1963 from her brother-in-law Prince Stanislaw "Stas" Radziwill.

And while money isn't an issue for the Kardashians, she might have overpaid even for such a valuable item. The auction website listed the estimated sale price of Jackie Kennedy's watch anywhere from $60,000 to $120,000. This means that Kardashian's winning bid was well over three times the expected sell price. TMZ reported that Kardashian had plans to wear the watch she spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on — even if she "vowed not to be flashy since she was robbed in Paris" in 2016. 

With the timepiece being so understated, perhaps it was a sign of the reality TV star's maturity — after all, she would reveal a few years later that she was studying to become a lawyer.

Just when you think your Postmates bill is getting too high this year, Kylie Jenner's bill is about to make you feel a whole lot better about yourself. In January 2019, Postmates revealed on their spotlight series, The Receipt, that Jenner dropped around $10,000 on 186 orders over the course of a year in 2018. According to the series, most of Jenner's orders were placed around 10 AM, and she often ordered from grocery stores like Ralphs and Bristol Farms. If you're Kylie Jenner, you don't stand in line at the grocery store!

Her orders ranged from expensive items like a bottle of Don Julio Añejo 1942 Tequila to extremely cheap items like... a single carrot. Per TMZ, apparently, she needed the carrot for some matzo ball soup she was making and couldn't be bothered with making a run to the market. But Jenner wasn't just ordering for herself. She often would do things like pick up the entire tab for a photoshoot crew, which would sometimes lead to up to five Postmates orders a day. 

Now you can feel better about that delivery order you were about to place while reading this. 

Sometimes when it comes to getting gifts for loved ones, people take the gag gift route. And even the Kardashians, who are known to spend thousands on each other, are here for a fun present every once in a while. Their silly gifts are a lot more expensive than what the average person would spend on a funny little birthday present, though.

In June 2019, Kim Kardashian poked fun at Khloé Kardashian's single relationship status after her breakup with her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Tristan Thompson. Kim decided that Khloé needed a little eggplant in her life and gifted her a limited-edition $4,500 crystal-covered Judith Leiber purse in the shape of an eggplant. And while that seems like a lot of money for a tiny purse that can probably only fit some change and maybe a lipstick, for the Kardashians, that's nothing.

Kim shared the eggplant purse on her Instagram stories (via People) and played into its phallic connotations. Kim said, "I just thought it was really fitting for her. And she loves it, guys. So she's definitely getting some eggplant for her birthday." At least Khloé loved the gift for $4,500!
