Kylie Jenner Catches Heat For Buying Shoes Instead of Helping Burning Amazon
By Whitney Vasquez on August 23, 2019 at 8:05 AM EDT
Kylie Jenner is getting slammed after showing off her overwhelming high-priced shoe collection, with fans pointing out that her money could be better used to assist in saving the burning Amazon.
It all started when Kylie showed off three pairs of designer shoes on Thursday and declared she "went shoe shopping today."
She wasn't shy about tagging the high-fashion designers in her post either.
Her Gucci sandals embellished with crystals run about $1,250.
Those Balenciaga heels are $995 each.
The Kylie Cosmetics founder also revealed she was "in love" with another shoe she purchased -- this red Balenciaga heel with an oversized ribbon.
The billionaire then went on to flaunt several Tom Ford, Dior and more high-end heels which live in her closet.
The chocolate Bottega Veneta's she's wearing retail for $690.
But it was when Kylie showed off her entire shoe collection that fans got really angry.
After her closet made the rounds, followers took to social media and slammed her for not being more responsible with her money.
Many pointed out she could be using her billions to assist in saving the Amazon, which has been burning for 20+ days, instead of wasting money on material things.
