When it comes to charity, Kim Kardashian always gives a hundred and ten percent! Sorry, we forgot to carry the one or something- it’s actually TEN percent.
The reality star caught some flack recently after it was revealed that an eBay auction she did for Typhoon Haiyan relief was actually only donating 10% of the profit to the charity.
But Kim has had it up to her Celine necklace with people saying she doesn’t give enough back!
Kim was so upset she actually wrote a lengthy response to her detractors! She wrote:

“I feel compelled to speak about something that is in my head and my heart. Over the years, I├óΓé¼Γäóve had to grow a thick skin. Being in the public eye, there are times I feel like I get criticized for any and everything I do. I├óΓé¼Γäóm used to it now. I just choose not to feed into negativity or become consumed by it.
The problem comes in when I get attacked for giving and trying to help people. My dad always taught me the importance of giving back. I don’t publicize everything I do to help charities and people all over the world. I do it because I want to. I do it because my dad taught me to. I do it because it’s the right thing to do. So for people to attack me for giving 10% of my eBay auction sales to the people of the Philippines, that hurts.
I do eBay auctions monthly and change the charity or church from time to time. I give 10% of all my earnings to charities, not just these eBay auctions. This month it’s for the people of the Philippines, last month was Life Change Community Church.
In regards to these eBay auctions, when the eBay numbers get broken down, the auction management agency that posts for me gets a percentage for all of their hard work, then eBay listing fees, end of auction fees, eBay Store fees, Paypal fees, etc., all add up to about half of the sale. Then I give 10% to a charity.
Truth is how the # is broken down, is neither here nor there. The people of the Philippines need all of our help, no matter how big or small.
Over the last 5+ years, I have listed thousands of items on eBay Giving Works for various causes. I will continue to do what is in my heart and am happy to know many others have enjoyed purchasing from me, as they too are giving with me.
Giving comes from the heart. We all need to be reminded of this as we celebrate the holiday season this year.”

Well, ten percent of everything is a lot more than 100% of just eBay auctions. And in Kim’s case ten percent is A LOT!
Should she give even more? What do U think?
