Kim Kardashian‘s 8-year-old son Saint West got the moment of a lifetime on Sunday night when he walked out onto the soccer pitch holding hands with superstar Lionel Messi!
The occasion was the Major League Soccer game between Messi’s Inter Miami club and the Los Angeles Galaxy. And the SKIMS mogul was clearly proud of her son, who amazingly got to walk out onto the field hand-in-hand with the world-famous footballer!

Amazing, right?! Some fans thought so in their responses, with one writing back that it was “so freaking cool” and another noting of Saint that “I bet he was in heaven.” But others weren’t so kind!!
Down in the comments below Kim’s post, quite a few people slammed the SKKN By Kim mogul for buying the opportunity for Saint!! And while there’s no proof she did that, people were up in arms over the fact that a well-connected kid from a well-connected family got that opportunity instead of, well, anybody else. Here are a few of the responses (below):
“Money can buy happiness. Debate closed!”
“Would be awesome if some kid actually deserving of it got that opportunity. Not someone who was incredibly lucky to be born to billionaires.”
“What money can buy”
“Whoever said money is not everything was lying. Even Messi can be bought”
“tell the truth how much that cost”
“Talk about privilege. Hope he can kick the ball.”
“See what money does”
“What an incredible moment for Messi to have a saint walking him out on the field! It must be such a surreal experience for him to have his dreams come true.”
Damn!!
