Kim Kardashian has sparked a brand-new wave of backlash. It has nothing to do with her fashion choice or a viral clip from The Kardashians. This time, it’s about how little she really knows about her finances and the cost of living. Many are shaking their heads after her casual confession, and even more are left a little stunned.
During a recent guest spot on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kim Kardashian was asked about her spending habits and what she spends the most money on. The 44-year-old mother of four didn’t hesitate to admit her beauty budget is always through the roof. But what really had listeners talking was a moment that Kim admitted she had no clue how much even a carton of milk costs.

According to Globe Magazine reports, it was only a matter of minutes before the social media platforms lit up over this naive Kim Kardashian statement. The reality star’s fans and non-fans have really put her on blast over this one. Reddit threads and TikToks were overflowing with eye-roll emojis and disbelief. For many, it was just another reminder that Kim’s billionaire bubble may have officially popped her sense of reality.
“Kim acting like she doesn’t know what things cost,” one irritated fan commented.
“I need to be on this level of ignorant,” another adds.
It seemed as if everyone was quick to drag Kim Kardashian over this one. It is not the first time that Kim has let loose with a financial blunder such as this. In the past, she has admitted to paying outrageous amounts of cash for private nannies for each of her kids, taking them and their friends on wild out of the country vacations on her private jet.
In all fairness, Kim Kardashian does work and earn all her millions, so she is free to spend as she pleases. Especially in this day and age, when the economy is struggling. It bothered them that she is so carefree with her spending that she couldn’t even price a gallon of milk off the top of her head. She didn’t even have a guess.
Fans Call Kim Kardashian Tone-Deaf
Critics were quick to drag the SKIMS founder for sounding completely disconnected from everyday life. To some, her “milk moment” became a symbol of everything wrong with celebrity culture. The kind of comment that proves how far removed fame can take someone from normal reality.
But while Kim brushed off the online noise, she didn’t hold back when it came to something far more personal, her complicated family dynamic with ex-husband Kanye West. As previously reported, Kim also admitted that she’s the one who does “everything” for their four kids.

The reality star claims that Kanye West hasn’t been around lately and that contact between him and the kids has been nonexistent for months. Despite it all, she insists she still tries to encourage a relationship between father and children.
Fans, however, are split. While some sympathize with Kim for doing it all herself. Others think she’s airing private family drama at a suspiciously convenient time. Right before Kanye’s tell-all documentary and the new Kardashians season drop.
Kim Kardashian swears she’s just being honest. Either way, between not knowing milk prices and claiming full-time mom duty. She is once again proving she knows exactly how to keep her name and her place in the spotlight.
