Twitter Dragged Kim Kardashian for Bragging About Her 14 Friesian Horses and Hoarded Wealth

From Cosmopolitan

  • Kim Kardashian posted a slew of family pictures in Wyoming for North West's birthday party.

  • Kim felt the need to inform the world that her family owns 14 Friesian horses as Kanye West claimed she is now a billionaire, which Forbes denied.

  • Meanwhile, the whole world is enduring a pandemic and up to 16 percent of Americans are unemployed.

An hour before Kanye West hopped on Twitter to claim Kim Kardashian is now a billionaire (which Forbes quickly denied), Kim decided to flaunt her hoarded wealth amid a pandemic, cries for racial equality, and the American unemployment rate hitting 16 percent.

For those who don't get post notifications for Kim, know that she posted a bunch of pics from North West's 7th birthday in Wyoming. North and her friends look adorable, of course. But apropos of nothing, Kim decided to inform everyone that her family has way more horses than anyone ever cared to know. She wrote, "Meet North’s Freesian [sic] horse. We have 14 gorgeous Freesians [sic] on the ranch." (FYI: According to some horse blogs, a Friesian can cost anywhere from $7,000 for a baby horse to $600,000 for a stallion.)

She also posted a pic of a custom "unicorn ATV" that just has white horses painted on it.

Kim has a loooong track record of tone deaf and downright offensive posts, and her sharing these pictures and showing off all the money she has in the middle of such a scary and uncertain time for millions of people is insensitive and upsetting. Understandably, Twitter is pissed by her apparent lack of compassion and dragged her for it.

Just a few highlights:

"The money you paid to buy one of these horses could have fed one or two families of four for a whole year. 50+ people could have eaten. But yay you have 13 extra horses."

"We need to defund your family."

"Honestly the fact that you chose a moment in time when our unemployment rate is the highest it’s ever been since the Great Depression to brag about having too many fancy horses and then couldn’t even spell the breed correctly is a perfect illustration of America in 2020."

"Very cool Kim, my last apartment had 14 gorgeous mice."

"One night in 5th grade when my dad came home at the usual time of like 11pm I overheard him say to my mom “I am going to be working until the fucking day I die” so I tried to give my classmate’s dolls makeovers for 25¢ because I didn’t want my parents to worry about money anymore."

"Don’t be shy, use your billion dollars to fight racial injustices in America, or perhaps to help the unbelievable amount of U.S. citizens living in extreme poverty :)"

"Wowwwww. No one care about your wealth right now. The country is suffering."

"READ. THE. ROOM."

Kim hasn't responded to the criticism or apologized for her post, but she has been active on social media promoting her underwear and makeup line, so read into that as much or as little as you want.
