KIM Kardashian has been slammed for “flaunting her wealth” by showing off her kids’ luxury toy car collection.
The KUWTK star, 40, displayed her garage full of mini cars, ranging from an orange Lamborghini to a pink Mercedes G-wagon.
The fleet is worth thousands as both the Lamborghini and the Mercedes – of which they have two – cost $300 each.
The bright red Ford Mustang convertible retails for $200 and the pink trucks cost anywhere between $300 to $600.
Kim‘s garage in her Hidden Hills home also features several electric scooters, a monster truck and an ATV.
The E! star has four children with her ex Kanye West – North, seven, Saint, five, Chicago, three and Psalm, one.
Kim faced backlash for the “over the top and unnecessary” post, with critics claiming she lacked “empathy” by sharing the photo in the middle of a pandemic.
One wrote: “Meanwhile business owners are having to close down, people losing jobs, being getting sick, people dying, people tapping into their savings to survive, people unable to see and touch their loved ones in months due to this awful Pandemic.
“But I’m so delighted to see the fleet of kiddy cars in your garage.”
Another raged: “So over the top and unnecessary to have soo many …one would be enough !!”
A third posted: “Like she said people have suffered very badly financially during this pandemic and celebs like this flaunt wealth like it’s nothing. Takes five seconds to have empathy.”
The criticism comes after Kim was officially declared a billionaire by Forbes magazine thanks to her two businesses, KKW Beauty and SKIMS.
Her wealth is also thanks to “cash from reality television and endorsement deals, and a number of smaller investments.”
This is not the first time she has been accused of posting tactless photos during the pandemic.
Back in October, the reality star was slammed for her “disgusting display of wealth” as she celebrated her 40th with her friends and family with a lavish party on a private tropical island.
“After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time,” she wrote at the time.
“We danced, rode bikes, swam near whales, kayaked, watched a movie on the beach and so much more.”
Fans were outraged by Kim’s “out of touch” post as many are still out of work or fighting for their lives due to the global pandemic.
Meanwhile, last month Kim built an entire play village for her children in the backyard of her Hidden Hills mansion.
Aerial photos revealed a mini KKW Beauty boutique, a Lego castle and a fire station in the mini town.
Kim officially filed for divorce from Kanye in February after months of speculation that their seven-year marriage was over.
According to TMZ, the Yeezy creator filed for both joint legal and physical custody of their four children, North, seven, Saint, five, Chicago, three, and Psalm, one.
The pair have decided to co-parent amicably, despite Kanye spending a majority of his time miles away on his Wyoming compound.
The celebrity couple has come to the agreement that they will split their $2billion fortune evenly, which The Sun exclusively reported after the divorce announcement was made.
Due to his music empire and clothing ventures, Kanye is technically the richer of the two, with a staggering $1.3billion fortune.
