Kim Kardashian owns many memorabilia of Princess Diana, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, affirming her collector status.

According to W, Kim Kardashian is famous for her hobby of collecting unique and rare items, including many memorabilia from legends around the world. At the LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles on November 2, she attracted attention when wearing Princess Diana’s cross necklace. The beauty paid nearly $200,000 to own this jewelry at a Sotheby’s auction in January 2023.

The Princess of Wales has worn the necklace many times, most notably at the 1987 Birthright charity gala in London. The cross pendant is set with square-cut amethysts, accented by 5.25-carat round diamonds. She paired the jewelry with a black and purple velvet dress with a pleated collar by Catherine Walker in the Victorian baroque style. Photo: Pinterest

In 2019, Kim and her ex-husband Kanye West gave their daughter North a Michael Jackson velvet jacket as a Christmas present. According to W, the two bought it from Julien’s Auctions for $65,625. In 1997, the King of Pop wore the jacket to Elizabeth Taylor’s 65th birthday party. In addition to the jacket, the couple also bought the hat worn by the “King of Pop” in the music video for Smooth Criminal.
