Last week, Kim Kardashian was in Miami. I barely saw any photos of her, but it makes sense now she was in Miami to attend and speak at a business conference. According to Page Six, Kim cashed a $1 million check to speak at Hedge Fund Week in front of all of the finance bros. While some of those dudes rolled their eyes, there was a lot of excitement about her talk. I mean? she?s a billionaire, she doesn?t need to take one-off $1 million speaking gigs.
Business ? or at least talking about it ? pays. A source tells Page Six that SKIMS founder Kim Kardashian got paid around $1 million for her appearance at a conference during Miami?s so-called ?Hedge Fund Week,? though some attendees smugly felt they were too good to go see her talk.
Kardashian spoke at the iConnections Global Alts conference at the Fountainbleu hotel on Tuesday about her newly launched private-equity firm SKKY Partners with her co-founder, industry vet Jay Sammons. iConnections CEO Ron Biscardi told us, ?We don?t comment publicly on [monetary] arrangements with speakers.? Another source tells us that Kardashian?s fee was less than half a million.
Despite the fact the the 42-year-old KKW Beauty founder and reality star has created her own business empire ? making the Forbes billionaire list in 2021 ? we?re told some snooty hedgies turned up their noses at attending her panel, instead opting for a boat ride. One source tells us they heard an attendee smugly state, ?Yeah, she?s hot, but I came in from London to do business. What am I going to learn from her??
Probably a lot. Despite a few naysayers, we hear Kardashian?s talk was so packed they needed two overflow rooms. Biscardi tells us, ?She received huge applause when she walked out onto the stage. It was standing room only in the room where she spoke, with people spilling into the hallway. We had even more people in overflow rooms where the video was streamed to accommodate the sell out crowd. I was happy to see so much support for a female fund manager in an industry dominated by men.?
[From Page Six]
Wait? is Kim a fund manager? Does Kim have a hedge fund?? Oh sh-t, SHE DOES! I forgot!! She co-founded private equity firm Skky Partners with Jay Sammons last September. Damn. Kim is really serious these days. She?s got multiple successful businesses, she?s a reality star and she?s a private equity fund manager. And she gets seven figure speaking fees. To think, it all started with a sex tape, a dump-truck ass, a momager and a dream.

I used to not like amethysts that much. Sapphires and rubies were my favorite colored stones years ago. But over time, I?ve grown to love amethysts, aquamarines and peridots. In the right setting, with the right cut, those are such beautiful stones. Now, would I buy a giant amethyst cross necklace? No. I wouldn?t. Not even if it was a piece once worn by Princess Diana. Kim Kardashian felt differently though she purchased the necklace in a Sotheby?s auction this week.
Kim Kardashian has added another piece to her growing collection of iconic jewelry and memorabilia a famous diamond cross necklace once worn by Princess Diana.
Auction sources tell TMZ the SKIMS honcho just snatched up the rare diamond-encrusted necklace Wednesday at a Sothebys auction. A Sothebys rep tells us the piece went for $197,453.
The stunning necklace is known as the Attalah Cross which she famously wore in 1987 at a London charity gala paired with a purple-tinged outfit, with the necklace hanging low down her torso. The Garrard jewelry company let Diana borrow the piece for the event.
[From TMZ]
It?s interesting that the selling point is ?Diana borrowed this from Garrard.? That?s literally the only selling point as far as I?m concerned this is so gaudy!! Diana wore this in her big-hair, big-shoulder-pads ?80s era, when everything had to be bigger and gaudier. Which? honestly, makes it kind of perfect for Kim? Even though Kim tries to be more minimalist and high-end these days, she?s still a tacky B. I do wonder if Kim will ever wear this out in public though ever since she got robbed in Paris in 2016, she tends to avoid wearing big, expensive jewelry in public.
NEW: @Sothebys have now confirmed that @KimKardashian is the new owner of the diamond and amethyst pendant sold in London on Wednesday, which was previously worn by Princess Diana.
The pendant was sold for a hammer price of $197,453.

Last week, Kanye West got fake-married to Bianca Censori, an architectural designer who works (in some capacity) for Kanye?s Yeezy business. They had a real wedding ceremony but they apparently didn?t get a marriage license. Shades of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux?s fake marriage. The wedding took place in LA, and soon after, Kanye took Bianca to? Utah? I wonder what?s going on at the Wyoming Dome. According to Page Six, they went to the Amangiri resort and spa for their honeymoon, then they returned to LA and they were spotted in Beverly Hills.
So, how does Kim Kardashian feel about this? It took her the better part of two years to legally and financially extract herself from her marriage to Kanye, and their divorce was only finalized two months ago. I sincerely hope Kim feels like ?it?s not my problem.? But according to Page Six, Kim ?hates? the new wife.
The world was shocked by news that Kanye West has married one of his staffers, Bianca Censori. But we know someone who won?t be surprised ? Kim Kardashian.
Insiders say that the former Mrs. West has long despised Censori for no obvious reason ? unless, that is, you know that she has suspected there was a certain frisson between Censori and the rapper-turned-raving-lunactic.
?Kim hates her,? said an insider. Sources say that it was well known around the Yeezy HQ that the boss? wife didn?t like her, and suspected that his architectural designer wanted to do more than handle his erections. Also, adds an insider, ?She?s pretty. And Kim hates pretty girls.?
Censori, who has a masters in architecture, has worked at the company ? where West oversees various fashion and design projects ? for several years, we?re told. He?s an avid architecture aficionado and has dramatically overhauled a number of buildings.
[From Page Six]
I know most people are loath to give Kim a pass on anything, but if Kim really does hate Bianca, then I?m giving her a pass. We don?t know what happened! If these sources are right, than Kim saw what Bianca was up to long ago. I also think it?s completely sketchy for any woman to agree to (fake) marry Kanye when he?s in the state he?s in. It was literally just a month ago when Kanye was talking to Alex Jones (!!) about how much Ye loves Adolf Hitler. Kanye?s businesses are in shambles too, so it?s not about Bianca trying to secure the bag there?s no bag. This is purely for clout, to make a name for herself. And no, I doubt Kim hates Bianca just because Bianca is pretty. This isn?t high school.

I don?t know why so many podcasts decided that Kim Kardashian should be their final year-end interview subject, but here we are. This week has been wall-to-wall headlines from Kim?s multiple podcast interviews. Kim also sat down with Gwyneth Paltrow?s Goop podcast, which came out this week. Paltrow asked Kim about marriage, divorce, kids and a lot more. This doesn?t feel shady, btw Gwyneth is a snob, but she accepts the Kardashian-Jenners, as do most rich people. I think Gwyneth even likes some of the K-Js. Some highlights:
Kim on whether she will ever remarry: I dont know, Kardashian said at first, agreeing with Paltrow that shes such a romantic. She went on to admit, I am. I am. I have this fantasy in my head, like fourths times a charm, its gonna ? its gonna work out.
Her third marriage: I feel, like honestly, my last marriage was my first real [one] ? the first one, I just dont know what was happening. The second one, I felt like I wanted to be married so badly because all my friends were at that place and thats where I should have been, and I didnt accept that that just wasnt where I was and realized that that was okay. And now, I feel like I would definitely take my time ? and I would be okay for a forever partnership as well. I would want a marriage, but Im so happy to take my time.
Whether she wants any more kids: As far as wanting more kids, Kardashian is of the never say never mindset. Im obviously right at the end of that conversation and would have to have someone in my life for a while to make that decision. Whatever is meant to be will be. Im taking my time. I really do want to be single for a few years.?
She wants to chill out with her kids now: For now, the mogul says that amid just trying to focus and chill and go on ski trips with her kids, she feels that she is having to deal, instead, with the narratives created around her. I dont know how to get myself out of the narrative ? and just keep my head down and stay focused, she said as Paltrow commended her non-reactive personality and the fact that shes a free thinker.
[From People]
I think it?s a little bit funny that Kim feels like her third marriage was her first real marriage. On one side, that?s completely understandable her first marriage was an elopement when she was 19 years old, back when she was a completely different person. Her second marriage lasted 72 days and she literally just married the first guy who asked her because she was turning 30 and she thought her life was over. Comparatively speaking, the marriage to Kanye was the first ?real? marriage as in ?she went through some real sh-t in that marriage.? Anyway, I kind of hope she doesn?t get remarried or have any more kids. It feels like she needs a breather and she also needs to rebrand a little bit I?d love to see a 40-something Kim get serious and mature and actually date someone with a real job, someone who could ground her and help her. I?ve been wanting Kim to date a lawyer for a while.

Kim Kardashian?s house is very bland and boring. The color scheme is just white, cream and beige and it?s not even like Kim wants a neutral background for some great art. There is no art. In all of the spaces we?ve seen of Kim?s house, it just looks so? one note. She?s said before that her kids? bedrooms are different, and that she ?allows? them to paint their rooms any color and they can have colorful toys in their playroom. What I never realized is that Kim also puts limits on what colors her staffers can wear. Not so much a uniform, but an employer-approved color palette.
On Mondays episode of Angie Martinezs IRL podcast, Kim Kardashian revealed there is a dress code for her employees after the radio personality said she noticed the people who work for her are all color coordinated.
Is that intentional? asked Martinez, 51, to which Kardashian, 42, replied, Absolutely. I have uniforms.
Its not like hey, this is like your uniform. Its just color palettes, Kardashian continued. Noting that her employees are provided with a handbook, the reality star explained they can wear grays, heather gray, black, navy, white, cream, khaki I mean, we can stick with all neutrals. Not a lot of color blocking.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians alum also shared she discussed the dress code with her employees to get their opinions before implementing it.
My house is so zen, so I asked how everyone felt about it, and everyone actually said, That would make our life so easy, she told the podcast host. And once everyone was on board and thought it would be easier for them, I was like, Yes, lets do this.
I should have like a free-dress day on their birthdays or something, she quipped.
[From People]
Granted, I mostly wear black, grey, cream and navy too like, that?s easily 80% of my wardrobe but I love wearing green, pink, periwinkle, red and purple sometimes too. While I understand the idea behind your employer mandating a uniform, it seems kind of bonkers to want your household staff to commit to a bland color palette just to work inside your bland home. And we don?t even know if she?s talking about *just* household staff does she demand the same thing from the staff of her companies? Someone take this to the Supreme Court! Well? it?s only discriminatory if Kim goes so far as firing someone for wearing acid green. Then we could take it to SCOTUS.

Kim Kardashian has gotten a lot of crap about her divorce from Kanye West. It took nearly two full years for everything to get settled, mostly because there were some long-winded negotiations about money, real estate and custody of their kids. Plus, Kanye spent a year and a half trying to hold up the divorce and firing a succession of lawyers who wouldn?t go along with his unhinged schemes to do so. At the end of the day, Kim and Kanye do technically have joint custody of their kids, although Kim basically has primary custody and she had the kids most of the time. She?s gotten sh-t about divorcing Kanye, and she?s gotten sh-t about not divorcing him sooner, and not going for full custody of the kids and everything else. I don?t know when it came to the divorce, I think Kim was just doing the best she could, all while dealing with an unmedicated ex who was threatening violence and openly stalking her and harassing her. Kim recently spoke to the Angie Martinez IRL podcast about how rough it?s been to coparent with Kanye:
Kim on coparenting: Co-parenting is really fing hard? If they dont know things that are being said, why would I ever bring that energy to them? That is real, heavy, grownup s that they are not ready to deal with. When they are, we will have those conversations. One day, my kids will thank me for not sitting here and bashing their dad. I could. I definitely protected him and I still will in the eyes of my kids. For my kids. So, in my home, my kids dont know anything that goes on [in] the outside world.?
She?s not doing well: I am holding on by a thread. I know that I am so close to that not happening, the SKIMS founder continued of the kids inevitable access to public information about their parents, but while it is still that way, I will protect that to the end of the Earth as long as I can.
She doesn?t want the kids to know the details: My kids dont know anything. So, at school, some of my best friends are the teachers, so I know what goes on at recess and lunchtime. I hear what is being talked about.
She puts on a happy face in front of the kids: If we are riding to school, and they want to listen to their dads music ? no matter what we are going through ? I have to have that smile on my face and blast his music and sing along with my kids. [I can] act like nothing is wrong and as soon as I drop them off, I can have a good cry.
[From People]
Yeah? my parents struggled for years before they divorced and I can safely say that Kim?s kids know a lot more than Kim believes. I mean, it?s good that Kim isn?t talking sh-t about Kanye in front of her kids. It?s good that Kim is sheltering them from a lot of Kanye?s crap. But? the kids know some of it already, especially the older kids, North and Saint (who are 9 years old and 7 years old). North especially, since she seems to spend the most time with Kanye out of all four kids. While Kim tries to put a happy face on it, the kids can see that their dad is unwell, and God knows what Kanye is saying to them when he spends time with them. Also: while I?m never on Team ?Dump All Of Your Problems on Your Children,? there is something to be said for being honest with your kids, especially when you?re struggling.

It?s perfectly acceptable to wear lots of black around the holidays: yes or no? I say yes. I love wearing lots of black anyway, but there?s just something about a sparkly black sweater with black trousers that just says ?Christmas? to me. I would also argue that an all-black palette is perfect for smaller pops of Christmas color, like cheesy Christmas earrings or a jingle-bell necklace. I?m giving away these styling tips for free!!
Anyway, Kim Kardashian is feeling rather rocker-goth for the holidays. She turned up to three separate events wearing the ensemble you can see in these photos: a pair of black leather trousers and a cropped Dr. Dre & Snoop t-shirt. She went to Paris Hilton?s Christmas party like this. She also went to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck?s Christmas party in this exact ensemble. The best event for this ensemble: she wore this to her nephew Mason Disick?s bar mitzvah. According to Page Six, Mason?s bar mitzvah had a ?high fashion Chrome Hearts theme? so most of the family wore black.
Again, I?m not against black-for-the-holidays. I even think leather pants are fine for Christmas parties. But Kim should have paired her leather pants with a black turtleneck and maybe a jaunty Christmas necklace for the parties. The exposed midriff and Snoop tee was possibly okay (??) for the bar mitzvah. Although it makes me wonder what kind of insane theme Penelope Disick?s bat mitzvah will have.

Here are some photos from the Baby2Baby gala, which has become one of the most A-list charity events in LA in recent years. Baby2Baby is a charity which helps families in poverty by providing essentials for children, everything from clothes, shoes, diapers, bottles, etc. It?s an incredibly popular charity with A-listers, and they really get a good turnout for their events. This year, the charity gala honored Kim Kardashian with the Giving Tree Award. I wasn?t even aware that Kim did much with Baby2Baby, but it?s likely that she just donates money or sponsors families. Kim wore this Barbiecore Pink Balenciaga gown which? I mean, it?s fine, but it also feels like A LOT for a charity gala? I also wish she would ditch the blonde. The event was sponsored by Tiffany & Co, and a lot of the women wore Tiffany jewelry, including Kim.
Kylie Jenner came out too, and she wore Loewe. I don?t think much of any of the Kardashian-Jenner ladies? styles, but I appreciate that Kylie seems to take more chances and she wears some offbeat designers sometimes. That being said, this is kind of meh. Still, it was her sister?s night, maybe she wanted to look more lowkey.
Olivia Wilde was a presenter at the gala. I LOATHE her ensemble. Olivia has been going through a phase where she?s making her looks all about her chest, and I don?t really get it. While the skirt is fine even comfortable-looking I have no idea why anyone would think a thin bandeau top is appropriate for a charity gala. This ain?t the beach, Olivia.
Lori Harvey wore Off-White to the gala. This, too me, is a bit too much as well, but I kind of like that she went for it? Why not, you know?
Miranda Kerr had my favorite look I love velvet, I love this shade of blue and I love the cut of her two-piece dress. Slinky but classy. Her husband came with her too.

Here are some photos from Saturday?s LACMA Art + Film gala, a gala for which a lot of A-listers came out to play. Kim Kardashian attended several of these galas when she was married to Kanye, but she hasn?t been to one since 2018. So we?re getting Divorced Kim, free from her antisemitic husband. She eschewed Gucci (the sponsor of the event) and went with Balenciaga. She?s been all about Balenciaga in the past year. I honestly like the dress? It?s flattering and well-tailored. I hate her hair though. I wish she would give up the blonde. It?s looking kind of ratty these days.
Kendall Jenner wore Burc Akyol, an emerging designer. Her dress is? eh. It looks like she?s wearing electrical tape around her belly button. But good for her for wearing an emerging designer.
Jodie Turner Smith is a long-time Gucci girl and of course they gave her a good Gucci look. Very flapper, very Baz Luhrmann?s The Great Gatsby.
Damiano David and Maneskin. I am in love with Damiano and I wish Gucci had given him a cape.
Idris Elba and his wife Sabrina look like they?re inviting us to be a third in their bed. YES. The answer is YES.

The distance from LA to Las Vegas is roughly 230 miles, so a solid four-to-five hour drive with no traffic. Most Angelenos prefer to fly though, especially the people with private planes. So it was for Kim Kardashian, who celebrated her 42nd birthday last Friday. Not only was she inundated with headlines about Taylor Swift who conveniently dropped her album on Kim?s birthday but Kim ended up having to cancel her big birthday plans in Las Vegas. She tried to fly out to Vegas with a group of friends and family to watch the Usher show and have a party at Carbone, but the winds in Nevada made it too dangerous for the plane to land. She and her group flew back to LA and she celebrated her birthday at In-and-Out. She ended up posting this days later:
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes. This weekend I had an overwhelmingly beautiful amount of love from so many people reaching out and it really made me smile so much. The flowers, the dinner the almost Vegas trip all was so so special and I will remember this birthday forever
[From Kim?s IG]
It?s a little bit funny. It was like Taylor Swift?s Revenge played out over the course of the day. But still, Kim got to eat fast food and hang out with her fam, so it was fine. As for those ?flowers? Kim referenced, she posted a photo of all of the bouquets she received, and some people think that Pete Davidson sent her one of the bouquets. According to ET, they still talk:
No hard cutoffs for Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson. A source tells ET that the two still communicate despite their breakup in August.
Pete and Kim still keep in touch, the source says. It wasnt a bad fallout or breakup, so things are good between them and theyve remained in contact.
Fans also speculated online over the weekend that Pete had sent his ex flowers for her star-studded 42nd birthday party. Kim posted a photo of roses alongside a jasmin scented Diptyque candle to her Instagram Story, which fans believed to be a reference to the Jasmine and Aladdin Saturday Night Live sketch that originally introduced the couple in October 2021.
[From ET]
I bet Pete did send her flowers and a candle. That?s thoughtful and nice. He clearly needed to get out of that relationship because of Kanye West?s harassment and bullying, not because Pete and Kim had some kind of falling out. I kind of wonder if we?ll get a Kim/Pete redux.
