Kim Kardashian Gives Kanye West A $750,000 Lamborghini For His Birthday

By on June 9, 2012 in ArticlesCelebrity News

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are one of the hottest couples in the tabloids right now. But how does a couple with as much money as they do handle each other's birthdays? They probably have lots of options, but Kardashian has settled on one: An extravagant amount of spending. More specifically, she just bought Kanye a $750,000 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 for his 35th birthday!

The car was purchased by Kardashian in LA, which created a bit of a conflict because West is currently on his massive Watch the Throne world tour in Ireland. But Kardashian has hurdled this obstacle handily by recording a video of Ye's new car and personally attending to a screening of it in Ireland. Crafty!

The newest addition to Kanye West's cars is a luxury sports car first introduced to the public in February of 2011. And the car has the performance stats to back up the "wow factor" of the Lamborghini brand – it can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in under three seconds, and has a top speed of 217 miles per hour. So clearly this is a car that's worth its rather exorbitant asking price, and worthy of a Kanye West 35th birthday gift from Kim Kardashian!

As for Kardashian, it's no big surprise she can afford a present like this, after signing that massively lucrative reality TV contract with the E! channel along with her family for $40 million. The deal also allows members of the Kardashian clan to pursue other endorsement deals and the like, so it's safe to say that spending three quarters of a million dollars on a Lamborghini isn't going to land her in the poor house. Of course, even if it did, she'd theoretically have Kanye West's $90 million net worth to fall back on. So file this under "responsible purchase" all around.
