Kylie Jenner was raised differently than most of her fans as she appeared on TV as the youngest Kardashian-Jenner sibling on the long-running E! reality series Keeping up with the Kardashians. she translated that fame into a journey as a self-made woman to become the founder of Billion dollar company Kylie Cosmetics. And the Kylie’s life star continues to live life on another level. That fact was made abundantly clear recently when a social media photo of her family in front of their private jets (yes, that’s plural) went viral for all the wrong reasons.
On July 15, the makeup mogul shared a post Instagram with boyfriend Travis Scott and daughter Stormi — who recently created her first TikTok – which was possibly meant to be a loving portrait of her family. However, many fans couldn’t help but take offense at the obvious Flaunting her and Scott’s wealth, when she pointed out that they both owned private jets. Check out the image below:
The black-and-white photo shows the family stretching between Kylie Jenner’s Bombardier Global 7500 – which she allegedly bought in 2020 for an estimated $72.8 million – and Travis Scott’s Embraer E-Series jet – which he also purchased in 2020 for a bought – hugged reported $72 million. A Rolls Royce can also be seen in the photo.
Despite being a sweet photo of the celebrity family, some fans were put off by what appeared to be a boastful display of wealth, particularly with the caption, “Will you take mine or yours?” Some fans took advantage of the comments to express their issues with Kylie Jenners to express mail:
- This display of wealth is incredible. So detached from the struggles of the common man. — lilmisssasu
- Classless bragging rights – oceanglow990
Many comments indicated that using their private planes for short trips was environmentally unfriendly. The reality star was photographed boarding her jet last month to fly to Palm Springs with her mother Kris Jenner and boyfriend Corey Gamble, which is a 49-minute flight, according to the DailyMail. Fans referenced this trip in the comments of her post featuring her and her boyfriend’s jets:
- Why do I have to limit my meat consumption and use paper straws when the 1% can pump tons of carbon into the atmosphere for a day trip to Palm Springs? – Ashbramwell
- global warming who? 🌍 — liane.duprtl
- Maybe do neither and reduce your carbon footprint — jayasmita.datta_
- Whose plane should we be polluting the earth today – nnixcole
The environment is a legitimate concern, as are many people struggling with the current inflationary crisis the country is going through which has pushed up the prices of gas, groceries, rent and so on. But let’s face it: the majority of people who complained about Kylie Jenner’s flex just felt offended, like this commenter:
- This post just called me poor – Jessaeryn
yes, the same Kylie Jenner’s detachment from “normal” life experiences was fully showcased in the first season of The Kardashianswhich can be streamed with one Hulu subscription. She and Kris Jenner started a day doing their own grocery shopping, enjoyed driving their vehicle through a car wash, and even pumped their own gas.
We might not always agree on how Kylie Jenner chooses to spend her money or flaunt her wealth, but I think most of us can admit that it’s fascinating to glimpse this lifestyle. We’ll see what else is in store – and maybe Find out the name of baby #2? – If The Kardashians returns to Hulu for Season 2 on September 22nd. In the meantime, feel free to rewatch season 1 or check out some of the others best shows on Hulu.
