“Well, a lot,” she confessed. “But if I’m filming my show, then they pay for it. If I’m working, they pay for it. So I try to get it all paid for so that I don’t personally have to pay for it.” Kim Kardashian in a leotard sits on a chair, speaking into a microphone during a podcast setup with bookshelves in the background

But when it comes to everyday items, Kim admitted she had no idea what they cost. Kim Kardashian on red carpet in a fitted, shimmering gown with elegant earrings, draped in a plush wrap, surrounded by photographers

Another person agreed, “I don’t really know what milk costs either. sometimes it’s $2. sometimes it’s $8. and there’s never any reason.”
