- The internet is crying foul at the latest overpriced item on the Kardashian Kloset – and now that the Kardashian-Jenners are worth around US$3 billion, just how much do they need the extra cash?
- In the noughties, Kim K was Paris Hilton’s stylist and sold her and her showbiz friends’ clothes on eBay – while in 2020, Christian Cowan called Khloé out for putting a sample dress he’d loaned her on sale
Few remember that before Kim Kardashian was a household name and the founder of Skims, she was a personal stylist for Paris Hilton and ran an eBay account Kimsaprincess, where she turned a profit by selling her and her celebrity friends’ clothes.
Late last month, Kim K came under scrutiny for putting a “dirty” Hermès Birkin bag on sale for US$69,995 on the Kardashians’ very own reselling platform, the Kardashian Kloset.

Others are raising questions about the legitimacy of the business, wondering whether the Kardashian-Jenners really need the extra cash. Where does the money from sales go? And who is running the website?
