It just seems wrong to give such gifts to a child.

Yes, they do. At times, I feel how fair it is that some people get so much and go crazy, and some get nothing. I have heard people tell me one should be happy with what one has, but it's all a white wash. Only the person who suffers or is in need knows where the shoe pinches.

I realize she can spend her money however she wants to. But as I said, if you get those type of gifts at 12, what would you expect for a gift later in life? The Biltmore? Your own country??

I don't think she is asking for anyone's approval. It's her money, and she is free to spend it how she likes. Buying a diamond for your own kid is not a big deal. Well, if you can afford it, why not?? As far as charity is concerned, it is not everyone's cup of tea. A real big hearted fellow can indulge in charities. I feel the only thing here inappropriate was sharing it on her handle, especially when we know most people in this world are struggling, and most are super envious.

I didn’t imply that she was asking for anyone’s approval. And buying a basic piece of jewelry is a lot more appropriate for a very young girl—but yes, that’s just my own personal opinion. I have personally never coveted jewelry. I feel it was not the best gift to give someone so young. But as I said, that’s just my opinion.

@MarieCoyle In India, gold is a coveted item. Most kids have ear piercings done and wear gold earrings within a few months of their birth. Used in weddings and gifts, gosh, the market is huge. The younger generation does dabble with diamonds too, yet gold jewellery takes the largest slice of the cake. Kim recently visited India to arttend Ambanis wedding. I think she got this idea after watching ladies there literally wear jewellery as a garment.

Of course she is rich and she can spend her money like she wants, but is this good for her daughter? I do not think so, she is growing up believing that everything is due to her and she can get everything she wants. We never know what life will offer us as adults.

My son read the article. He said, good grief--when a fellow falls for her and wants to give her a ring, will he just get a diamond as big as a car and give it to her? By then, she will have had anything and everything she ever could want, nothing would have any meaning anymore.

I guess she's free to spend her money any way she wants.There have always been rich people, it's just that now they tell us more about what they are doing! I wouldn't want to be her daughter though - imagine if you lost the pendant!! And as you say, What will her life be like as an adult, will she struggle to maintain this lifestyle?

It's only now that we get to know more about them, like daily, and to be frank, it's annoying. If her child loses a pendant, which is very possible, I do not think it matters to them. The copious amount of money they have is beyond my understanding. I wonder if they have any emotions attached to the gifts they get or buy? How the child grows up and what she does in the future is a mystery. We will see that if we live ha! We have seen such sad cases before of spoiled or misguided kids. What can we do but pity them?

@Fleura I am honestly not envious. If children grow up having everything they want and way, way more than they need, will they even know how to survive if the money dries up?

I did read about that in some news thing. People went nuts, saying they are all too young to care for an animal, it would be up to the household help to do that, and the kids won't be doing the training and actual care of the dogs. I mean...doesn't everyone live like that?

From what I have gathered, many went after Kim to tell her that they thought the entire thing was ridiculous and inappropriate for a 12 year old. I did not see the Instagram posting, I am rarely on that site and I do not follow the Kardashians.

It just seems so foolish. I know she can spend it how she wants to, but still... In the future when the parents are no longer living, will most of the money be gone? If there is a lot left and the children get a big inheritance, will they even know how to manage it? I can see them blowing through a fortune thinking more will be there when they want it...but maybe I am wrong.

@MarieCoyle here you are talking about financial literacy which includes management. It's a crucial thing that every parent need to instill in their children but in this case am so worried because the [aren't is very extravagant I pity the children for real.
