From Kennedy to Jacko: The long list of her celebrity treasures

Here, Princess Diana wears the "Attallah" cross. At that time, the piece of jewelry belonged to her friend, the Palestinian-British entrepreneur Naim Attallah († 89), who bought it in the 1980s and was happy to lend it to her.

The so-called "Attallah" cross is said to have been one of Princess Diana's († 36) favorite pieces. Now reality TV star Kim Kardashian (42) has torn the clunker under the nail – and thus ennobled himself a little.

At the London auction house Sotheby's, the mother of four bought the jewelry once worn by the princess of hearts. A representative of the 42-year-old, who has a penchant for celebrity treasures, fought a bidding war in the last few minutes of the online auction, which ended on Wednesday, it said.

In the end, Kim Kardashian was awarded a bid of 163,000 pounds and can now call the "Attallah Cross" her own.

Princess Diana, who died in a horrific car accident in Paris in 1997, had worn the amethyst and diamond pendant on various public occasions. Among other things, in October 1987, at a charity gala in London. The piece of jewelry, made by London jeweler Garrard in the 1920s, glittered over a black and burgundy evening dress with a ruffle by fashion designer Catherine Walker († 65).

"We are delighted that this magnificent cross worn by Princess Diana is now in the hands of another global icon - Kim Kardashian," said Kristian Spofforth, head of the jewelry at Sotheby's London, in a statement.

Kim Kardashian's bid was well above the pre-auction estimate of the Attallah Cross, which was estimated at between £80,000 and £120,000. But apparently, the 42-year-old wanted the famous piece of jewelry ABSOLUTELY.

That adds even more to her already long list of celebrity treasures.

Kim is crazy about celebrity memorabilia.

Here Jackie Kennedy is wearing the black leather strap Cartier watch that Kim Kardashian now owns.

In 2017, Kim Kardashian bought a watch at Christie's that belonged to the late First Lady Jackie Kennedy († 64).

Kim shelled out around 370,000 Dollars for the classic Cartier watch.

So when pop star Janet Jackson (56) parted with a few pieces of memorabilia at a birthday auction in 2021, Jackson fan Kim Kardashian also struck.

She snagged a tailored cropped top with matching black pants for $25,000. Singer Janet Jackson wore the hot two-piece in the 1993 video for her hit "If." "Thank you, Kim Kardashian," commented the younger sister of King of Pop Michael Jackson († 50) afterward. "I hope you enjoy it as much as I do."

And even more famous Jackson collectibles ended up possessing the reality star.

For their daughter North West (9), Kim bought a jacket for Christmas 2019 that belonged to the King of Pop himself. "North is a huge Michael Jackson fan, and we knew she would love it," Kim Kardashian said afterward. "She is so grateful and so excited." The proud price for the unusual Christmas present: is 65,625 US dollars. There was also the Jacko hat from the "Smooth Criminal" video.

Kim is also currently working hard for her brother Rob (35). She gave him original jewelry by rock' n' roll legend Elvis Presley († 42).

"I'm obsessed with auctions, and my brother is the biggest Elvis Presley fan, so I bought him two of his rings," Kim revealed to her fans via Instagram while also showing them the gold jewelry, which she's officially selling for a total of 15,000 dollars at Julien's auction.

In 2011, Kardashian also snapped up three diamond bracelets from Elizabeth Taylor († 79) at a Christie's auction for $ 65,000.

They once adorned the wrist of the Hollywood diva; then, they became the property of Kim Kardashian.

The clothes of famous women have already wandered onto Kim's body.

She keeps copying the looks of supermodels like Naomi Campbell (52), and she also has a cult outfit made by music icon Cher (76), faithful to the original. So she made Halloween unsafe in 2017.

Cher in 1973 with her second husband Sonny Bono († 62, married 1964 to 1975) in the see-through outfit Kim Kardashian loved it. 

Last year, she squeezed into a cult dress by film icon Marilyn Monroe († 36, "Some Like It Hot") for her big appearance at the Met Gala performance.

Kim Kardashian wore a 60-year-old original Marilyn Monroe gown to the New York Met Gala in May 2022.

Despite a bulging account (estimated fortune: 1.8 billion US dollars), Kim Kardashian could not buy that either. The "Ripley's" museum only provided her with the skin-colored dress in which the great Monroe breathed "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" for John F. Kennedy in 1962 for the Met Gala. After that, she had to return the fumble, which she almost broke.

Kim Kardashian even bought an old college jacket from ex-husband Kanye West (45), which he wore at the American Music Awards in 2008.

With the part now considered a real collector's item and was suddenly sold online, daughter North appeared at Paris Fashion Week last year. Cost: around 11,000 Dollars.

Kim Kardashian has acquired the most extensive and most expensive celebrity treasure so far: a 700-square-foot supermodel mansion in Malibu that once belonged to Cindy Crawford (56).

For this, Kardashian made an incredible 70.4 million dollar bid last year. The actual (collecting) madness!
