If you buy yourself something new (and preferably expensive) and you don’t brag about it on social media, it’s almost as if you didn’t buy that thing at all. Kylie Jenner has added a new car to her already impressive collection and she, of course, bragged about it online.
Seeing how that car is a brand new $3 million Bugatti Chiron, you can’t really fault her for wanting to show off. Sadly, the Internet wasn’t here for her bragging, so she got dragged for her new purchase.
Page Six reports that the youngest in the Kardashian-Jenner clan treated herself post-Travis to a Chiron in white and black, with orange interior. She posted a video of her new purchase to her Instagram, but was forced to delete it when it got flooded with negative comments and very harsh criticism. You can see it at the bottom of the page, though it's not the original.
Apparently, her own followers and random keyboard ninjas think that the $3 million she spent on another car would have been put to better use to fight hunger or poverty around the world, or even in her home country. When the world seems to be on the verge of being torn apart by conflict and natural disasters, Kylie is using the fortune she amassed by selling cosmetics and her own personal brand on TV to buy another car she will probably only drive a couple of times and then forget in her spacious garage. Talk about a culture of superficiality and excess.
Without saying that these comments are meritless (because they are, if you think life is really black and white), Kylie is used to getting this kind of heat from haters by now. Whenever she posts about a new car, she gets the same kind of reaction, and she usually takes it on the nose or downright ignores it.
This time, though, she chose to delete the post. Whether that’s because she really was shamed into being more discreet about her car purchases we can’t say, but Page Six and other media outlets seem to believe so.
For the record, Kylie’s fleet includes a Rolls-Royce, a Porsche, a Lambo and a Ferrari, and two Land Rovers – and that’s just the cars we know about. Somehow, wanting to own the fastest car in the world is not surprising on her part. She can use it to outrun the haters.
