Marble Mayhem: Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner's $1 Million Bet Over Rare Stone

A recent episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" revealed a heated dispute between Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, over 10 slabs of rare Calacatta gold marble. The valuable material, imported from Italy, was intended for Kanye West's bathroom but was allegedly taken by Jenner without payment, leading to a dramatic confrontation and a high-stakes wager.

The Marble Dispute

Kim Kardashian accused her mother, Kris Jenner, of taking 10 slabs of Calacatta gold marble that she had specially imported from Italy. This led to Kim having to redesign Kanye West's bathroom. When confronted, Jenner initially claimed she only took six slabs, but Kim insisted she had an invoice proving otherwise. The reality star stated that the specific Calacatta gold marble was no longer in stock, making it difficult to replace.

A Million-Dollar Wager

During their argument, Jenner proposed a challenge to Kim: if she could find 10 slabs of the coveted Calacatta gold marble in the United States, Kim would pay her $1 million. Kim readily agreed to the bet, and the two shook on it. Jenner, determined to win, declared, "If I have to rip it out of that bathroom, I will find you 10 slabs."

Background and Other Family Tensions

This is not the first time the Kardashian-Jenner family has had issues with marble. Reports from Kim and Kanye's 2014 Florence wedding mentioned problems with marble tabletops engraved with guests' names and several broken marble statues. The episode also touched upon other family dynamics, with Kris Jenner expressing frustration over her daughters' constant phone usage and suggesting they see a communications expert, a suggestion Kim dismissed as "the dumbest thing I've ever heard."
