Ten million euros of jewellery

[TheArtfulDogger]

I read the story about kimmy getting robbed this weekend in Paris and whilst the whole thing sounded frightening and I feel sorry for her getting robbed like that, I was shocked that anyone feels the need to travel with that much jewellery like its normal.

I mean yes my diamond dog collar is worth all of ?10 quid from poundland but who on earth needs that much (or can afford that much)

Guess I need to give up lounging on the sofa and become a reality tv star now 😳

Let's see how much they say was stolen versus how much was actually stolen.

It seems there is a strong negative correlation between the usefulness to society of your job and the value of your bling.

Kanye announces recently he has money problems. Kim goes on holiday with millions worth of presumably insured jewelry. And the rest is history......

My thoughts exactly, well, almost.

Media setup if you ask me. No security? No guards? I don't believe its real at all.

Kris Kardashian is a ruthless media savvy money grabber and if she can use her children as a tool to make more money, she will.

It does seem incredible that someone who earns millions a year can get into such debt. I guess the only explanation must be that he is a complete f*cking idiot.

Or perhaps nothing was actually stolen ??

It's a good job we are not a lot of cynical beggars here on EDF :)

The finer points of the fiscal machinations of Kanye West inc and understanding of 'debt' are - sadly - beyond the wit of Kanye West.

But then he's not an accountant - and he never did know when to keep his mouth shut, so no surprises there really.

If you had TEN MILLION Euros worth of jewellery with you in an apartment on holiday why would you not hire 2x professional security guards for a total of a grand for the 3x days you're there ?

That's one ten thousandth of the value of the jewellery. Seems almost negligent..

*Reminder to look-up why exactly Kanye West is a 'thing' and what kind of people actually follow him*

bad things happen to rich people too.

[KidKruger]

agreed. and this is predictably more likely if you're casual about your security.

The conspiracy theories are out in work too :)

[titch juicy]

Not that i give a single F-word either way; but wouldn't it be a lot easier just to sell the jewellery if they needed the money?

[LondonMix]

Of course it would and its possible for rich people to sell valuable assets discretely.

I don't watch the Kardashian clan but given that there is an official police investigation and there appears to be absolutely no indication from the French this looks anything but legitimate, I think the conspiracy theories are both silly and in poor taste.
