Nine unimpressed reactions to Kylie Jenner’s over-the-top birthday surprise

We’re used to the Kardashian-Jenner excesses, such as Kim’s $750,000 flower bill for her wedding, Kris Jenner’s three Mercedes cars, or the dog house Kylie had built, which featured heating and air conditioning and was the size of a large shed. The latest episode in the K-Js’ extravagance revolved around the upcoming birthday of Kylie, with her boyfriend opting to give her this early surprise.

It’s like American Beauty on steroids, and the wasteful gesture got people’s hackles up.

I think it’s a disgusting, appalling needlessly extravagant waste of flowers, time and money. And it makes me want to vomit. https://t.co/7PPVWeFUzu

I feel like the last couple of decades' cultural obsession with grotesque celebrity over-indulgence & boastful displays of wealth is an unhealthy focus while the poverty gap continues to widen in so many places. 🤮 https://t.co/x1hMykyikT

Eugh, people aren't able to afford to eat, many sleep on the streets and the planet is dying – so the super rich spend their money flooding their palaces with plant life. No doubt a maid on minimum wage will have to clean it up.

This makes me feel all French Revolutionary 😬😬 https://t.co/sGG292gREY

What a colossal waste of money for a purely self-absorbed act.
Wealthy people doing crap like this to show off and get shameless publicity.
They are so disconnected from the real world.
People are hurting to make ends meet & this outrageous stunt treats money like ‘nothing’.😠

So sick of the level of waste and materialism that these people not only take part in, but promote. The amount of land/water/pesticides/chemical fertilizers/truck distributions/gas etc to make all this happen for a gesture that will be thrown away in less than 24hrs.

And I Lu noticed another problem with the scenario.

Imagine going to all this effort only to use *squints* Arial? Tahoma? on the accompanying card https://t.co/XAtxneXS0r

Perhaps next year he should just get her some chocolates and a book token.
