14. Kim owns A LOT of Elizabeth Taylor’s jewellery.
We’ve all seen Kim ‘waste’ money on, well, frivolous things: hiring camerawoman Paxy to be her selfie assistant or when she spent $635 on an ice bucket… or what about that time she got Louis Vuitton dustbins?
Kim’s Louis Vuitton bins…
Yes, it’s safe to say Kim Kardashian has more money than sense. But back in 2011, when screen icon Elizabeth Taylor passed away, Kim decided she had to have something that only a hell of a lot of money could buy.

The self-confessed ‘Elizabeth Taylor nerd’ forked out a whopping $65,000 to secure three diamond and jade bracelets that Elizabeth Taylor owned.
Elizabeth Taylor was an icon…
Her jewellery collection was worth around $155 million when she died, meaning Kim was in a bidding war with several other jewellery fanatics.
I wonder who she was up against…

The lucky reality star got the chance to interview Taylor just a month before she passed.
In the interview the reality star posed several questions to the Cleopatra star one being:
‘ You are my idol. But I’m six husbands and some big jewels behind. What should I do?’
Kim was lucky enough to interview Taylor before her death…
Liz replied:
‘I never planned to acquire a lot of jewels or a lot of husbands. For me, life happened, just as it does for anyone else. I have been supremely lucky in my life in that I have known great love, and of course I am the temporary custodian of some incredible and beautiful things,’ before adding: ‘But I have never felt more alive than when I watched my children delight in something, never more alive than when I have watched a great artist perform, and never richer than when I have scored a big check to fight AIDS. Follow your passion, follow your heart, and the things you need will come.’
