Kim’s 20-carat diamond engagement ring, worth an estimated $4.5 million, is among the most expensive celebrity engagement rings.
This was actually an upgrade from the original 15-carat ring West proposed with, since the first ring was stolen when Kim was robbed in Paris in 2016.
For Christmas in 2014, West reportedly bought a $62,000 diamond-encrusted tiara and a $12,000 toy replica of his black SUV for his daughter, North, who was 18 months old at the time.
According to West, Forbes shorted him on his actual net worth back in April 2020, which he claimed to be $3.3 billion instead of $1.3 billion.
During his Yeezus tour in 2013, West wanted Kim’s glam squad to be available 24/7, so he reportedly paid for them to hop on a private jet and fly to her location, for an estimated cost of $168,880 per month.
Kanye gifted Kim a hand-painted Hermés Birkin bag for her 34th birthday, which can normally cost between $10,000 to $100,000. But he paid extra to have it hand-painted by their one-year-old daughter, North.
In 2014, West was worth an estimated $30 million, according to Forbes. Then, in 2016, he tweeted that he was $53 million in debt. Perhaps that's why his billionaire status is so important to him. Now let's see how he enjoys it...
West as been photographed driving several different luxury cars, including driving an Aston Martin DB9.
Specialized in high-end streetwear style, West made sure his Yeezy fashion line was marketed with an album, experimental fashion shows, and, of course, Kim K’s real-life modeling. The line is not cheap!
West produced Pusha T’s album ‘Daytona’ and right before it was released, West became convinced the cover should be changed to a picture taken of Whitney Houston's bathroom prior to her passing. He spent $85,000 to purchase the photo.
For Christmas in 2017, West surprised Kim by buying her stocks in Disney, Amazon, Netflix, Apple, and Adidas. These stocks have made an extra few hundred thousand dollars, and they're the gift that keeps on giving!
For Kim’s 39th birthday, Kanye donated $1 million in her name to four of her favorite charities helping with prison reform.
A crib for the kids is reportedly worth $4,900, and Chicago received a bassinet costing $1,900, a Como Glider chair costing $1,495, and a shearling area rug averaging $3,500, reports say.
For his longtime friend's first Father's Day, West gave Jay-Z a Lions & Sons Divora Golden Skull, encrusted with red topaz stones, and instead of just shipping it, Kanye took a private jet to hand-deliver the gift. The estimated cost for it all is $34,000.
He bought a second ranch in Greybull, Wyoming, which has 6,713 acres of land and comes with several log cabins. The asking price was $14.5 million.
The famous massive property includes a 180-acre private lake stocked with trout (and a live-in caretaker for them), a ranch-style event venue, functioning horse and cattle barns, and a state-of-the-art shooting range.
The former couple reportedly spent four years and $20 million renovating it before they moved there in 2018.
West and Kardashian bought this enormous home in 2014, which sits on three acres filled with expansive gardens, vineyards, and fountains.
He also owns a rare, fully customized, sleek black, two-door Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4, which closely resembles the Batmobile. The estimated cost is $750,000.
West had previously invested a lot of money in 2007 to open 10 of these burger chain franchises in Chicago. Ultimately, in 2009, only two locations actually opened.
Earlier in 2019, during home renovations, Kim posted a photo of her basin-less bathroom sink, which slopes slightly to a small drain on the opposite side. Reports say that West, along with designer Axel Vervoordt and architect Claudio Silvestrin, tested eight prototypes of the bathroom sink before settling on this one, which cost around $30,000.
For Valentine’s Day, West couldn't just give Kim a dozen, so he gave her a thousand instead, all in beautiful glass vases, costing an estimated $40,000.
West bought 10 branches of Burger King in Europe as a wedding present for Kim. Really!

During their home renovations, Kimye bought a new undercounter fridge used mainly for beverages. But, of course, it had Swarovski crystals on it. Some reports say their home appliances alone cost $1 million.
Kim posted videos of her and Kanye enjoying a double-decker, 660 seater to themselves, with bedrooms, fully-stocked bathrooms, a dining room and Kanye's office. The estimated cost is $200,000 per hour to rent.
The world’s most expensive bed contains horsetail hair, cashmere, and silk thread from different parts of the world, and costs about $175,000 per bed. Savoir Beds then produced 60 Royal State Beds to commemorate the 60th year of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. As celebrity royalty, Kimye decided to buy not one but six of these limited edition beds for their Bel-Air mansion.
This was the first home Kimye bought together, back in 2013 and for $11 million.
