In the vast majority of relationships, it is immensely exciting when one person gives their partner things like flowers, chocolate, or just their love and affection. Of course, it should go without saying that Kim Kardashian isn’t exactly your average person so it makes a lot of sense that the gifts she receives are a lot more extravagant.

Even though Kim Kardashian clearly enjoys the high life, it will likely come as a surprise to many people that Kanye West once gave her $1 million. If that figure wasn’t shocking enough already, and it is, when Kardashian fans learn why West gave Kim so much cash they may be pretty shocked. After all, the situation West and Kardashian found themselves in is far from relatable.

Social Media Queen

From the outside looking in, it can be hard to compare the level of fame that one star enjoys to another. For that reason, fans often turn to concrete numbers like record sales and box office receipts to gauge just how successful and beloved most stars are. Since Kim Kardashian isn’t a singer or movie star, the easiest way to gauge her popularity is to take a look at how many followers she has on social media.

As of the time of this writing, Kim Kardashian has 210 million followers on Instagram and 69.5 million on Twitter. As a result of the extreme popularity that Kardashian’s social media accounts enjoy, it is no secret that she is routinely approached by brands who want her to promote their products online. In fact, Kardashian reportedly makes a lot more money from posting ads on social media than anything she brings in from her “reality” show salaries.

An Amazing Revelation

During a 2018 appearance on Ashley Graham’s podcast “Pretty Big Deal”, Kim Kardashian told an anecdote that was hard to relate to on just about every level. According to Kardashian, "a brand offered (her) a million dollars to do a post on some of their clothing”. Of course, the vast majority of people would jump at that opportunity in a moment but in this case, there was a problem, the brand in question “typically knock off Yeezy”.

For the vast majority of people, a million dollars is so much money that turning that much cash down would be unfathomable. However, according to reports, Kim Kardashian is regularly offered that kind of figure to simply post images of certain products. With that in mind, it only seems right that Kardashian would turn down a million-dollar offer from a brand that rips off Kanye West. After all, even though Kardashian and West are set to get divorced as of the time of this writing, they seemed to be happily married in 2018.

Once Kim Kardashian told Kanye West that one of his rival brands offered her a million dollars to promote them, he told her that he didn’t want her to take the deal. Even though Kardashian found West’s request to be “understandable”, she did tell Ashley Graham that he was still asking her to turn down “a lot of money”. Despite that, Kardashian relented and passed on the offer.

Kanye’s Unique Gift

During Kim Kardashian’s aforementioned appearance on Ashley Graham’s podcast “Pretty Big Deal”, she revealed what happened after she turned down a million-dollar offer for Kanye West. According to Kardashian, Mother’s Day took place soon after and West couldn’t be there to celebrate the holiday as he was “recording out of town”.

Even though Kanye West couldn’t be there to celebrate Mother’s Day with Kim Kardashian at that time, he sent her a pretty mindblowing gift. “I get my flowers and then I get an envelope delivered to the door. I opened the envelope and it was a million-dollar check with a note saying thank you for always supporting me and not posting.”

On top of the million-dollar cheque that Kanye West sent Kim Kardashian after she turned down a business deal for him, he sent along something even more incredible. "In the rest of the envelope, it was a contract to be an owner of Yeezy—to have my percentage. And that was my Mother's Day present."

Since Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are wealthy enough that a million dollars and a stake in a major company can be given as a Mother’s Day gift, their divorce settlement will be mindblowing. On top of the massive amounts of assets the couple will have to split up, they will also have to work out a custody agreement for their kids.
