Kim Kardashian keeps 90 percent of proceeds from Philippines charity auction.

Kim Kardashian, the centre of all evil in the universe, has managed to annoy even her most ardent followers with a new money and fame generation scheme in which she uses a charitable cause to help bulk up her pre-tax profits. Not just any charity either, but one for survivors of a tsunami.

It all started last friday when the reality TV star set up an eBay auction to aid victims of the Philippines disaster, but then realised that they probably don't need all of the money (come on, how much do fresh water and paracetamol cost anyway?) and so decided to keep around 90 percent of the revenue, supposedly for overheads. Weirdly, while her fans don't seem to mind most of the awful shit she does, they've had to draw the line at this particular caper. Take a look at her blog to see what we mean...

Kim I think what your doing is great but honestly only 10 percent? yes I know it is still more than they would have but 90 percent is far more than is needed for over head exspenses. I am a huge fan of your but this disappoints me thinking you say it is for the Philippines and you get 90 petcent vs 10 percent Philippines. If there is another reason please lets us know

I used to be a huge fan, but I hope they give you back your insulting “portion of the proceeds” which is a measly 10% back to you so you can choke on it. You leading on that it’s for a good cause to pursue people to buy is degrading. I hope you get to keep your money, you probably need it more than they do.

How awful. Paul Walker's charity is great. They give everything to different events throughout the World. I have a 100 bucks yesterday. I am not saying that people have to, but they do some great work. Sad that Kim has to keep so much of the donations. She certainly can give 100 percent due to the fact that she is maga rich already.

ETA: How the hell was the person who wrote that "a big fan?" Of what? Vacuous vacancy????
