Well that idea seems to have
backfired. On Thursday, Kim Kardashian
launched an eBay sale of some of her clothes and accessories to raise funds for
the victims of the typhoon in the Philippines. Sounds nice enough.
The catch?
She's keeping 90 percent of the
profits from the sale for herself. (Just FYI, her net worth is estimated at $40
million).
The 33-year-old reality start
turned music video vixen tweeted a link to a letter posted on her personal
website touting her fundraising efforts.
"Hi guys, this is a very
special auction because a portion of the proceeds of my eBay auction are going
to International Medical Corps, a
nonprofit organization that provides critical health services on remote islands
where families are struggling to access medical care and basic resources like
food, clean drinking water and vital medications," she explained. She did
not mention that that "portion" was a measly 10 percent.
"The proceeds will go
directly to the communities they’re serving in the Philippines and will help typhoon
survivors get access to medical care and ultimately save lives," she noted
before adding, "My prayers and thoughts are with those affected by the typhoon.
Check out my eBay auction here and support those who need our help in the Philippines.
Xo."
