Given that both Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner are both newly-minted billionaires (well, almost), it makes sense that the beauty moguls would want to spend a little of that hard-earned cash. But there’s only so many pricey handbags, enormous mansions, and custom Bugattis a reality star can buy before they have to go in search of a new thrill. And, apparently, that new thrill, for the Kardashian-Jenner family, is very pricey horses.
According to the Daily Mail, Kylie recently purchased a $200,000 pony for her two-year-old daughter with rapper Travis Scott, Stormi Webster. The white horse named Frozen arrived in Los Angeles from the Netherlands early last week and is currently being quarantined for fourteen days before its moved to a barn closer to the Kylie Cosmetics CEO’s home, the new site says. Sources tell the outlet it would have cost her an additional $7,000 to $10,000 to have the horse shipped overseas.
The horse’s breeder, Stal Wilten, appears to have confirmed the sale in an Instagram post, although the caption has since been edited to include no mention of Jenner and her daughter. On Thursday, he shared an image of the pony, writing, “#ThrowbackThursday goes to the most famous pony of them all, Frozen. We got news he has landed in L.A. and is living the life with a sweet little girl named Stormi. @KylieJenner, in true fashion, made sure her daughter had the most precious pony out there. We can’t wait to see pictures of Stormi and Frozen.”
Perhaps Kylie was inspired by her older sister Kim who shared a photo of her daughter North West with her horse on Twitter last month, revealing, “We have 14 gorgeous Freesians on the ranch.”
You heard it here first: ponies are the new Birkin of the ultra-rich.
