In 2022 Kim Kardashian bought a Gulfstream G650ER through a company of her own for a reported $95 million. Then came a reported $55 million interior: cashmere, blond wood and a cream-on-cream cabin. The press named it Kim Air.

She showed it off herself, giving a tour of the cabin on a June 2022 episode of her show The Kardashians on the way to a magazine shoot.

$55 million just for the inside. 1.4 million kids it could have fed for a year.

$150 million could feed about 1.4 million hungry kids three meals a day for a whole year. Against a fortune Forbes put at $1.9 billion, it cost her what about $15,229 costs a typical American family.

Reported as a roughly $95 million purchase plus a roughly $55 million interior; the $150 million total is the widely reported figure.
