Kim Kardashian and her $1.7B Fortune: Who Will Get What?

Kim Kardashian is already thinking about how to divide her massive fortune among her four children. She recently shared that her oldest daughter, North, will inherit a very special piece of jewelry. This is the $1.3 million engagement ring that Kanye West gave her in 2013 when he proposed. The ring is a cushion-cut, 15-carat diamond. Kim Kardashian revealed her plans on The Kardashians, saying that the ring holds sentimental value. North held it as a baby, and Kim even posted a photo of the moment on Instagram.

Kanye West Gave Kim Two Engagement Rings Before Their Split

Kanye didn’t just give Kim Kardashian one engagement ring. He gave her two. The first one, from 2013, is the one she plans to give North. The second was an even more expensive piece of jewelry. It was an emerald-cut, 20-carat diamond ring worth $8 million. Kanye gave it to Kim in 2016. But that second ring didn’t stay in her possession for long. Just months after receiving it, it was stolen in a terrifying robbery in Paris.

Kim’s Jewelry Was Stolen in a Violent Paris Robbery in 2016

On October 3, 2016, Kim Kardashian stayed in Paris for Fashion Week when a group of armed robbers broke into her hotel room. They tied her up and stole about $10 million worth of jewelry. The thieves took the second engagement ring Kanye had given her, but the first ring from 2013 remained safe at home. Kim later said she left it behind because it was the most important piece of jewelry she owned. Looking back, that decision likely saved it from the robbery.

Kanye Warned her Not to Wear Both Rings at the Same Time

Kim Kardashian also revealed an interesting detail about her jewelry habits. Kanye had warned her not to wear both of her engagement rings at the same time. He saw an Instagram video where she was wearing both at Madison Square Garden with her sister, Khloe. After seeing the post, Kanye called her and told her never to do that again. He feared she could get robbed. His warning turned out to be right. The Paris robbery happened shortly after that conversation. From that moment on, Kim followed his advice and became much more careful with her jewelry.

But unlike the ring from Kanye, Kim did not get to keep it. She said Kris made her return it after their divorce, even though she paid for most of it. In the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian revealed that she actually paid for four-fifths of the ring herself. Kris only paid for a small portion.

The ring sold for $749,000. His representative said Kris planned to donate the money to charity. However, it is unclear which charity received the donation.
