Lavish living for Kim, Kanye and baby North

accreditation
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were recently singled out by US President, Barack Obama for living a lavish lifestyle. However that doesn’t seem to be stopping the talented singer, Kanye from purchasing two high-performance armored vehicles to protect Kim Kardashian and their baby daughter North.

Over the top

Kanye apparently received the advice to double up on extra security from best friend and fellow musician, Jay-Z.

According to the Dailymail, Kanye West reportedly spent $1.2 million each for two Prombron Iron Diamonds by Dartz Motorz. The vehicle is rumoured to be so secure that it can withstand attacks from “landmines and rocket-propelled grenades.” People are starting to wonder if Kim and Kanye have actually received kidnapping threats due to their high profile status.

A source told the Daily Star that “Kanye is fully aware that his new family is so high-profile they attract the attention of weirdos and psychopaths.”

“He aims to leave nothing to chance...His priority is to get delivery of the vehicles, especially Kim's, before he begins his US tour in October.”

Lavish lifestyle

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West purchased a house reportedly worth $11 million. The mansion is currently undergoing renovations which include ripping out wrought iron staircases, chandeliers and fittings – to make way for a more modern feel to their home. Kimye’s modern tastes runs to gold plated bogs ($487,000) and luxury beds ($75,000)… just don’t ask how much the wallpaper was.

US President, Barack Obama made a comment which shocked the Kardashian-Jenner clan in a recent interview with POTUS' Amazon Kindle, when he noted a change in how today's youth thinks. Stating that "Kids weren't monitoring every day what Kim Kardashian was wearing or where Kanye West was going on vacation," Obama explained, "and thinking that somehow that was the mark of success."

Head of the Kardashian-Jenner empire, Kris Jenner then expressed her disapproval on her new talk show, Kris. "I wasn't aware that you could only set the bar so high and that we could only dream so big," Kris said sarcastically on her show. She agreed with the president that it's important to work hard, graduate from school and try to get a great job, but argued with his idea that getting a big house is a bad thing after he made mention to Kim’s 10 000 square ft home.

Better not to pick a fight with the momager Mr President!
