A Paris court awarded Kim Kardashian one euro ($1.15) in compensation for a 2016 gunpoint robbery at the Hôtel de Pourtalès, according to a lawyer involved in the case. The sum matched the amount she initially requested. The incident occurred when two robbers, disguised as police officers, entered her hotel suite, bound her with zip ties and tape, and stole over $6 million worth of jewelry.
The court's decision followed the conviction of eight individuals last year, including six aged 60 to 70, who were charged with armed robbery, kidnapping, and gang association. All six received sentences but did not return to prison due to time served in pretrial detention and lack of appeal. Kardashian and her stylist, Simone Harouche, expressed gratitude for the verdict, stating it was about accountability and recognition rather than the compensation itself.
The court also awarded 109,516 euros ($126,472) to a former hotel receptionist who sought 550,000 euros ($634,868) in damages.
