Kim Kardashian reveals why she was so devastatingly upset about losing her diamond earrings
I'll never forget her panic
Kim Kardashian has spoken out about the iconic moment she lost her diamond earrings in the ocean, as we’ve all seen on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Little did we know though, that those missing jewellery items were literally found minutes later.
I thank the lucky stars above for sharing when Kim’s much-loved pair of earrings were suddenly gone from her ears, especially because Kourtney Kardashian absolutely ripped her for it, telling her, “Kim, there’s literally people that are dying.”
Kim has now revealed on the Call Her Daddy podcast: “That was like one of my first biggest purchases, so they weren’t insured yet. That’s why I was so upset, is because that would be money down the drain if I insured them, then I can just claim them.”
She continued: “Then I could have gotten my money back, but I hadn’t insured them. I got them that week. Kylie dove down, found it with her goggles in the ocean, and then went back and found the earring back, so I have the full exact earring.”
Wait, so um, they never actually fully went missing! Kim went on to say it’s “always Kourtney” taking the Mickey out of her. The memorable moment happened on August 28th, 2011, and it’s quite literally one for the reality TV history books.
They were a pair of 3-carat diamond studs, which retailed for around $75,000. At the time, Kim was worth an estimated $20 million, which, although is a huge amount of money, is a lot less than her current billionaire status!
She had 6.6 million Twitter followers at that point, and it took her another decade to reach her current billionaire net worth. Kim had yet to launch any successful businesses, as SKIMS didn’t start until 2019, which has been a huge source of income.
