Kim Kardashian And Her Family Spend Lavishly Every Christmas And In 2023, It Looks Like She’ll Be Saving Some Major Bucks On Gifts After Splitting From Kanye West.
Christmas time is an expensive season for everyone; from exchanging gifts to preparing an indulgent family meal, it all costs a pretty penny. But for The Kardashians, who are worth over one billion dollars combined, the holidays don’t make a dent in their bank accounts, even if they spend hundreds of thousands in total. Kim Kardashian, however, will likely be going more over-the-top than usual because she has an extra million to spare after one life-changing decision.

Let us take you back to December 2020, a time when Kimye was still a couple despite looming separation rumors. FYI, Kim filed for divorce two months later.
TMZ claimed the pair splashed $1 million individually on each other’s Christmas gifts, with Ye presenting her with five Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600s, while Kim purchased him several artworks by James Turrell.
The luxury vehicles reportedly cost $200K each and the famous Turrell light installations can cost over $75K each.
The Kardashian and West family are massive fans of the American artist. Kendall’s Mediterranean-style home boasts a glowing lavender-colored Turrell wall sculpture worth $750K, while Kylie Jenner has a matching artwork in a bright fuchsia hue.
The Kardashian-West divorce was finalized on November 29, 2022 meaning both Kim and Kanye won’t be shelling out seven figures on each other this year. Instead, the rapper will be showering wife Bianca Censori, while Kim can either treat herself or spend an extra $1 million on her four children. After all, an insider revealed she can “easily get past the million-dollar mark” when it comes to her kids’ designer Christmas gifts.

$1 million was a measly figure for the power couple who had a combined net worth of over 2 billion in 2021. Two years prior, Ye purchased a $14 million beachfront Miami condo as a Christmas surprise for Kim.
The 4700sqft apartment features four bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, and a wrap-around terrace balcony. Luxury amenities include a spa, a private gym, and a concierge.
February 2019 reports claimed Ye had backed out of the apartment deal as Kim wasn’t thrilled about the grand gesture but the rapper set the record straight. The father of four said he pulled out after the media “leaked” the sale, but insiders disagree, claiming he was public about the purchase and even brought a film crew to document the process. His reps later said the couple thought the location wasn’t secluded enough for their family.
Kim’s most pricey gifts from Kanye to date
Ye has never been stingy when it comes to Kim, so here are their most over-the-top (and thoughtful) presents since getting together in 2012:
- Robert Kardashian Snr hologram
- Mercy the kitten – she died three months later in December 2012
- $2 million 15-carat engagement ring by Lorraine Schwartz
- Hermes bag customized with North West’s artwork
- $4.5 million upgraded 20-carat engagement ring – it was stolen in the Paris robbery
