There was a time when no one thought Kanye West and Kim Kardashian would make it down the aisle, let alone still be going strong four years later. They've also recently welcomed their third child into the world, a little daughter, Chicago, and along with her parents and two older siblings, North and Saint West, this is a family of five that is seriously adorable. But they are also a family who thinks nothing about spending ridiculous amounts of money on the finer things in life, at least, if the reports about Kim an Kanye's purchases are true.

It turns out, the couple takes being parents very seriously, especially when that means buying their children only the best that money can buy. They are reported to have splurged on ridiculous purchases for their kids, like Swarovski-encrusted rocking horses, lavish cribs with fine linen, and custom-made diamond earrings. It seems that their toddlers have more designer stuff than most adults could even dream of owning, and seeing a three-year-old walking around holding a Louis Vuitton bag doesn't always get a positive response. Below are 15 of the most lavish purchases mama and papa West have made for their beloved kids.

North Became A Princess With A $250,000 Custom Made Crib

It’s no secret that the Kardashian clan like the finer things in life, and, considering they are all multi-millionaires, they can certainly afford it. Kim Kardashian’s fortune has an estimated worth of $175 million, while her husband Kanye West’s estimated net worth is $160 million, making their combined fortunes a pretty staggering sum. So, then it should not come as too much of a surprise that they like to spend big money on their children, including a custom-made crib.

According to Hollywood Life, a source told them, “North has a one-of-a-kind custom-made crib. It cost Kim and Kanye $250,000. This thing is huge and covered with Eiderdown silk linens. Nobody in the world sleeps the way Nori does, and Kim’s philosophy is that if Nori’s sleeping on the absolute finest quality of linens, she won’t wake up crying in the middle of the night that often.”

The source continued, even claiming that North reportedly lives like a “true princess” and that her crib was “out of this world crazy.” And apparently, it was not your standard size crib either, because it was apparently “so big that Shaquille O’Neal and LeBron James could sleep in it comfortably — together.”

A Swarovski-Covered Rocking Horse That's Too Expensive To Even Touch

Ahead of Chicago’s birth (the couple’s third child), Kim Kardashian West reportedly wanted to give her little girl only the best for her new nursery, and there were reports that she was spending so much that it was actually a bit “out of control.” Sources told Closer magazine that Kardashian West had been on a spending spree for her third daughter, and her purchases included “a $137,000 Swarovski-covered rocking horse,” which according to Daily Mail, was shipped from Italy.

There is also an article about this rocking horse, which was dubbed “Crystal” because it was covered with more than 82,000 Swarovski crystals, and costs more than a fancy sports car. This seems ridiculous to spend on a toy that is meant to be used by a toddler, but it is a beautiful, albeit expensive piece. According to Style, the manufacturer, Stevenson Brothers, in collaboration with Rebecca Fernandes of Fernandes Exquisite Creations, created the same pony that Britain's Prince George received in 2014 as a Christmas gift, except this one has a lot more sparkle.

Style also revealed how there is a second toy that contains just as much bling, but this one is a handbuilt rocking zebra, crafted with real horse hair, this piece reportedly took four months to complete.

Custom-Made Diamond Studs From A Top Jewelry Designer

In 2014, Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West’s baby daughter made headlines for their decision to buy her custom-made diamond studs. According to Hollywood Life, these earrings were Lorraine Schwartz studs and just over one half-carat each, and it’s not just the diamonds that are pretty big, but also the price tag because these beauties reportedly cost at least $50,000.

“They’re valued at well over $50,000,” an insider told the magazine. This is pretty jaw-dropping because it’s hard to imagine that a toddler (which she was at the time) would have something that cost so much. Then again, at this point on this list, it’s pretty obvious that North West is not your average little girl and in her life, it’s likely that she will want for very little. She also appears to have already developed a love for the finer things in life, including designer clothing (more on that later).

A source told Us Weekly (via MTV News), “Kim and Kanye are grateful when designers send them some pieces. North loves clothes and getting ready to go out. It's a lot of fun.” The good news is that they at least don’t have to wake up in the morning and fight with their daughter about what to wear.

Would You Buy Your Child A Rare Louis Vuitton Teddy Bear?

It’s great to buy your children teddies, and many parents do this, but not many people would be willing to fork out thousands of dollars for a limited edition teddy bear that their child could probably never even play with. Then again, this is not just any teddy bear we’re talking about, but a Steiff Louis Vuitton bear which reportedly came with a price tag of $170,000. This news came days ahead of the birth of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s third child, via surrogate, when a source told Closer magazine about Kardashian's spending spree.

According to Just Collecting, this is one of the most expensive teddies in the world and is the only bear that the fashion house has made in its history. The publication notes that only 500 of these bears were made, which means that they are a very limited edition, and were manufactured by German bear manufacturer, Steiff (founded by Margarete Steiff in the 19th century).

This is probably one teddy that belongs in a display cabinet and very far away from the little hands of a toddler, considering how rare and expensive it is, so it sounds as though this was more a decorating decision than an actual gift for little Chicago.

A Swanky Velvet Crib By Designer Dolce Notte Doesn’t Come Cheap

North West was the couple’s first child, but apparently, they hadn’t gotten the expensive cribs out of their system because Closer claims that for Chicago’s crib, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West ordered a velvet crib designed by Dolce Notte. According to Daily Record, these cribs range from about £3,250 up to £5,780 (around $4,500 to $8,000), and even the bottom end of the scale is not exactly affordable. That said, it does seem to be a bit cheaper than the crib that the couple reportedly bought for their first child.

Many people will probably think that this extreme, especially if the reports are true about the couple forking out so much cash on a crib that would not have been used much, but that doesn’t mean that these kids are always spoiled with gifts. At least, not if a 2016 report from Hollywood Life is to be believed because, according to the publication that year, a source told them that North and Saint West were going to “have a very humble Christmas."

The source added, "No fancy toys. No lavish kid parties. No extravagant clothing. Nothing over-the-top…” And apparently, the couple decided to hold back on material possessions because they wanted to teach their children “the importance of family and humility.”

Custom-made Yeezy Baby Shoes, Before They Went On The Market

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are largely celebrated for being fashion icons. Kim has graced the cover of multiple prestigious fashion magazines, she has had more custom-made gowns made for her than we could count, and she has proven her love for fashion time and time again when she sits in the front rows during Fashion Weeks. As for Kanye, well, he has even gone so far as to create his very own Yeezy fashion label. Keeping this in mind then, fashion is something that’s important to these two, and it is not surprising that they would dress their children in custom-made pieces.

And according to Time, Kanye had a pair of tiny custom-made Yeezy’s that were made for his daughter, North, the only kid’s pair of these shoes that existed at the time, making her one seriously trendy toddler. But custom-made items don’t exactly come cheap...

Kim shared a picture of the shoes on Instagram, which attracted a lot of attention because she later revealed on an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians that baby Yeezy shoes would be arriving in the summer of 2016. Time reports her saying at the time, “Baby Yeezys are going to be launched in August. The black ones and the original blue-and-cream mix.”

As for how much these little shoes would cost? The scaled down version of the adult's shoe cost $130, which is a lot to spend, considering how fast kids feet grow.

Actually, North Has Over 200 Designer Pieces In Her Closet

You may have thought that North West having one-of-a-kind (at least for a little while) Yeezy shoes were pretty impressive, but actually, she’s very similar to her mother when it comes to her fashion choices, and according to reports, the little girl has a lot of designer pieces.

Us Weekly reported (via MTV News) that North had over 200 designer pieces in her wardrobe, including big names like Alexander Wang, Giuseppe Zanotti, and Oscar de la Renta, the designer that reportedly created a $375 silk dress that North wore. Then, there was the report that she had a leopard print Roberto Cavalli dress that came with a $200 price tag.

Kim Kardashian has also been dressing her daughter in mini replicas of her own outfits, which included a silver sequined Vetements dress, which they are believed to have worn to one of Kanye West’s gigs, Yahoo reports. The full-size piece cost $11,161, and although there was no reporting on how much North’s version cost, it’s unlikely that it came cheap. And considering that little North is only four years old, this love for the expensive, finer things in life has definitely started from a young age.

A Super Fancy Stroller That Cost Over $1,000

Most of this list has been dominated by purchases that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have reportedly made for their first child, North, or are rumored to have bought ahead of the arrival of their third child, a second daughter, Chicago. But the middle child and only boy, Saint, should not be forgotten because he has also had some expensive items bought for him, including his stroller.

According to Us Magazine, Kim picked the Orbit Baby Infant Essentials Kit for her son, which the publication noted has a price tag of $1,020. Kardashian found herself on a list that included other celebrity moms and the strollers they were using, but out of all the women featured, including Zooey Deschanel, Molly Sims, Rose Byrne, and Gwen Stefani, it seems that Kardashian's pick was the most pricey. That said, the evaluation of the product on the publication did seem to suggest that it came with all the bells and whistles, and TheBabyGuy, Jamie Grayson, revealed that it has very smart technology ensuring that the seat can spin 360 degrees, making this the perfect stroller when in restaurants because the handles are out of the way.

Considering Kim Kardashian’s love of restaurants and other hot spots, this was probably more of an investment purchase more than a lavish spend.

Newborn Chicago Already Has Personalised Clothing

Kim Kardashian West’s children have incredible wardrobes, and her oldest daughter North West’s clothing, in particular, has made headlines multiple times before. But when the couple welcomed their third child into the world on Jan. 15, 2018, it wasn’t long before she started making headlines for her wardrobe, too.

Her name is Chicago, and according to Metro, she was named in honor of Kanye West’s late mom, Donda, because after his parents split, he reportedly moved to the city with her. And her name is very special for her parent’s too, which is probably why they felt the need to get her some personalized clothing. Kim Kardashian shared a photo of a pink shirt with the word, “Chicago,” spelled out in purple, just days after her daughter was born, although, she chose to only caption this post with a baby emoji and made no more comment on where the clothes were from, or how much they cost.

That said, if Chicago is anything like her older sibling, North, then in the near future, she may also develop a love for designer clothes and rack up a wardrobe filled with custom-made designer gear and handbags that cost more than some people’s salaries.

A Super Expensive Louis Vuitton Bag For A Toddler

North West made headlines in 2016 for being a little girl that really wants for nothing, and already has a very enviable wardrobe, as well as an impressive list of accessories. She was snapped in the street with a mini Louis Vuitton handbag, which according to The Sun, retails for around $1,000.

Let’s be honest, most adults would struggle to justify spending this amount of money on a single handbag, but, considering North was just three at the time, it seemed like an excessive purchase. It was also not the first time that she made headlines for her expensive taste in accessories, because as The Sun notes, on another outing with her mom, she was spotted with a Fendi bag while outside Cipriani Downtown.

The decision to let a toddler walk around with a designer bag wasn’t met with praise from everyone, and some people felt they had to take to Twitter to comment on how their own wardrobes, and their finances, could never compare to North’s. Comments include, “So North West, age three, has a Louis Vuitton handbag. I have an Aldi bag-for-life. Reassessing everything,” and “nothing makes me sadder than learning North West has a $1000 Louis Vuitton bag.”

A Beautiful Limited Edition Gold Dummy That Costs More Than A Car

It may seem a bit absurd to spend so much money on a dummy for a baby, something that they spit out often and can so easily get lost. But rumor has it Kim Kardashian and Kanye West bought a solid gold dummy for their third child, Chicago.

According to Daily Mail, a source told Closer that one of these purchases included a limited edition Suommo Dodo gold dummy costing $96,000. The online page for the Dodo Dummy actually lists this item as even more pricey, and they are pleased to boast of it being “the world’s most expensive dummy.” According to the description, this is also the perfect way to welcome your little one into the world (if you have unlimited funds) and it’s handcrafted from 18k yellow gold and diamonds. It’s basically being marketed as a versatile and functional jewel and one that would create a lovely memory. It is also an item that reports would have us believe Kim can’t do without.

However, according to the publication’s source, Mr. West was not as impressed with his wife’s many purchases, and her lavish spending reportedly led to him telling his wife “to stop spending as she's out of control!”

A Purebred Pomeranian For A Fourth Birthday

North West and her cousin, Penelope Disick (Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick’s daughter), both got Pomeranian puppies for their birthdays in 2017. According to E! News, the two Kardashian sisters surprised their daughters with two sister Pomeranians in celebration of the little girls' fourth birthdays.

Daily Mail noted that Kim has previously confessed on her website to not being the “biggest animal person” but she seemed to make an exception for her daughter. The family ended up naming this puppy Sushi, thanks to a Twitter poll, which actually ended up causing some controversy because it wasn’t the name that won, the name Peachy earned the most votes. Anyway, this is by far the cutest purchase Kim and Kanye have made for their daughter, but these purebred dogs don’t come cheap, and although there is no way of knowing exactly how much the family paid for Sushi, according to BET, she cost $4,000, or more.

Daily Mail also pointed out that the Kardashian-Jenner family don’t have the best record when it comes to giving their pets forever homes, but Sushi does appear to be loved. Kim also posted a series of Snapchat videos of the little pooch and gushed about how “tiny” she was.

A Controversial $3,500 Fur Coat For Nori

Kim Kardashian loves fur and has even attracted the attention of Pamela Anderson, who works closely with PETA. In 2017, Anderson penned a letter asking Kardashian to stop, and urging her to "be a hero for animals as well as a great example to all [her] beautiful followers by swearing off fur." But in 2015, Kim also made headlines for fur, this time for letting her daughter, North wear it.

She shared a photo on Instagram of her little girl in this fur coat, accompanied by the caption, “swag.” It sees her wearing a sweatshirt and jeans, as well as a brown, fur coat. The post was met with criticism from people who felt that wearing fur was cruel and not fashionable, but the choice of the outfit also made headlines because of its hefty price tag. According to Daily Mail, the coat is believed to be real fur and is estimated to be worth around $3,500.

A spokesperson for PETA told the publication, “Kids are naturally drawn to animals and sympathetic to their plight, and there's no reason to think that North is any different. If the fur coat that she's been dressed in is real, animals have suffered for vanity, something that we're sure neither North nor any little girl her age would support.”

A Little Lounger Crafted From Organic Cotton And Wood

At this point on this list, it seems like there is nothing that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West haven’t thought of buying for their children, whether it’s fancy items to fill their nurseries, or designer clothing and accessories, so Kim’s purchase of the Bloom Coco Stylewood Modern Baby Lounger probably pales in comparison. The price of this object is $200, but for a baby lounger, it's still pretty costly.

In 2018, People magazine featured a list of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star’s must-have products, shortly after the birth of their daughter, Chicago, via surrogate. Among these products was the little lounger, which according to the specs on Amazon has a smooth, self-rocking motion and has been crafted with a single-piece baltic birch wood frame and completed with organic cotton baby-facing seat pad. The natural feel of this piece will go well with the rest of Chicago’s nursery, which Kim gave a glimpse of on her app.

According to E! News, she said, "I wanted to keep all the décor in neutral colors." And although there were lots of new pieces for her little girl, the mom-of-three was also proud of herself for reusing some of the items she had for her other two children, and said, "I also ended up using the same crib, dresser, and rug that I used for North and Saint!"

And Rumor Has It, A Diamond-Encrusted Tiara

When reading the report about how Kanye West was thinking of buying his daughter, North West, a diamond tiara when she was aged one, it may seem completely unbelievable, but then, considering that she has been spotted wearing custom-made Lorraine Schwartz studs, which are believed to have cost at least $50,000, is it really that absurd?

In 2014, the Christmas presents that Kanye was rumored to have wanted to buy for his daughter made headlines, and according to The Mirror, a source told Heat magazine, “He went totally OTT (over the top) and bought her a diamond-encrusted tiara, so when she plays dress-up, she’ll be a real princess. He’s hoping she’ll treasure it for all of her childhood years. It’s probably worth about £50k [around $70,000] at least.”

Although the expensive presents didn’t stop there and according to the report, the proud daddy also “got her one of those baby cars – an exact copy of his matte-black SUV. He thinks it’s the coolest thing ever, and it’s cost him around £10k (roughly $14,000).” There is no concrete evidence as to whether North actually received these gifts from her dad, but if she had, it’s not all that surprising.
