Kim Kardashian ripped for asking staff for ‘free McFlurry’ in old clip despite star being worth millions at the time
KIM Kardashian is being ripped for asking staff members at McDonalds for a “free McFlurry” in an old Keeping Up With the Kardashians clip.
The 41-year-old wanted free food despite being worth millions at the time the episode was filmed.
During an April 2020 episode of KUWTK, Kim and a friend sat in the back of a car as they ordered desserts at McDonalds.
Once they pulled up to the window, Kim asked if they should order another Oreo McFlurry.
Before she could place the order, an employee asked the driver and security member in the front of the car if there was a “famous person” sitting in back.
After the employee asked if they could see the star, Kim replied: “Only if you give us a free McFlurry.”
The security team member told the employee Kim’s request, while the reality star shouted that she wanted “extra Oreos” in the free dessert.
The back car window then rolled down so that Kim could say hi to the employees.
They screamed with excitement before Kim said she was “so excited” about the McFlurry.
The clip concluded with Kim taking pictures with the employees before the group drove away.

‘WHY FREE?’
While the McDonalds employees didn’t seem upset with Kim’s request, fans on TikTok slammed the star for asking for free things when she is more than capable of paying.
In response to the scene- which was shared by Kardashian fan account KardashianLand– one critic wrote: “Tell me again why for free?”
Another added: “Ridiculous! A billionaire needs a freebie.”
However, others argued that Kim didn’t do anything wrong by asking for a free McFlurry.
Someone commented: “You guys are acting as if McDonald’s can’t afford to give away a McFlurry.”
An additional fan chimed in: “Y’all act like you wouldn’t do the sammme.”
IMPRESSIVE NET WORTH
While Kim was only a millionaire at the time the episode was filmed, she went on to become a billionaire.
According to a Forbes report from April 2021, Kim is estimated to be worth $1billion.
In 2020, Kim followed in her sister Kylie Jenner’s footsteps and sold a 20 percent stake in her KKW Beauty line to Coty for $200million.
Kim’s 72 percent stake in her cosmetics brand has an estimated value of $500million, while her majority stake of SKIMS is estimated at $225million.
The reality star’s ex-husband Kanye West, 44, is also a billionaire.
FLAUNTING HER WEALTH
The KUWTK clip resurfaced after Kim was slammed for bragging about her wealth in a tweet from 2016.
She wrote at the time: “Sorry I’m late to the party guys I was busy cashing my 80 million video game check & transferring 53 million into our joint account.”
The tweet referred to the money she had earned from the free-to-play mobile game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood.
In the game, players attempt to climb the hierarchy of Hollywood and achieve enough fame to become A-list celebrities.
After the tweet resurfaced, fans rushed to Reddit to slam the mother of four for flaunting her wealth.
One user wrote: “All she cares about is money… she’s just disappointing. People who value money over everything else have no real morals and need to find the real purpose of their lives, because money is not it.”
Another agreed: “Did she think this was cute? It screams greedy, money-hungry capitalist, who only cares about themselves. Also, Kimmy, how much work did you put into the game? Were you the programmer?”
