LOL, not a surprise - use it as an opportunity to clean out the closet and get new clothes. I bet most of the clothes she is ebaying is shit she was given. All about the $$$$$.

Quote:

Well that idea seems to have backfired. On Thursday, Kim Kardashian launched an eBay sale of some of her clothes and accessories to raise funds for the victims of the typhoon in the Philippines. Sounds nice enough. The catch?

She's keeping 90 percent of the profits from the sale for herself. (Just FYI, her net worth is estimated at $40 million).

The 33-year-old reality start turned music video vixen tweeted a link to a letter posted on her personal website touting her fundraising efforts.

"Hi guys, this is a very special auction because a portion of the proceeds of my eBay auction are going to International Medical Corps, a nonprofit organization that provides critical health services on remote islands where families are struggling to access medical care and basic resources like food, clean drinking water and vital medications," she explained. She did not mention that that "portion" was a measly 10 percent.

"The proceeds will go directly to the communities they’re serving in the Philippines and will help typhoon survivors get access to medical care and ultimately save lives," she noted before adding, "My prayers and thoughts are with those affected by the typhoon. Check out my eBay auction here and support those who need our help in the Philippines. Xo."

Celebrities are clinnical narcissists. Any act of 'charity' by them is simply public relations manipulation to convince others that they're' good' people.

So true. She's worth $40 million yet she has to still keep 90% of money she gets from this sale. Does she have any idea how this looks to the average person? It just goes to show the type of bubble celebrities live in. They just don't have a clue how they come off to normal people. Which is why they have to have publicists and pr reps on staff to interface between them and common people.

I'm convinced utterly-ruthless celebrities like Madonna and Oprah who have made millions in their quest for power, money and attention honestly care about African Orphans due to their - coincidentally heavily-publicised - charity work, work that barely makes a dent in their personal fortunes. Isn't it nice to know Madonna genuinely cares, before spending $2 million dollars on a video to promote her latest disco song?

The public are suckers, but it does stop them calling for their heads.

Ironic choice of gif there.

P.S. she is naked in his latest music video.

Not quite naked. Just topless and you can only briefly see nips.

Truly disappointing. More nude videos would be a redeeming act of charity.

Wow, this is in stark contrast to David and Victoria Beckham who donated 20 boxes of clothes to a Red Cross charity shop to raise money for typhoon victims

they of course actually DONATED the clothes.

They get given boxes of clothes by their sponsors, but nevertheless, it's a nice gesture and I actually think they're a really good family.
