Kanye West gave Kim Kardashian more than $300,000 in stocks for Christmas -- in one present

Updated

In the Kardashian-West household, the best present is the gift of capitalism.

Kanye West surprised wife Kim Kardashian with the gift that keeps on giving: Stocks in some of the most prolific companies Wall Street has to offer.

"So for one of my Christmas presents from Kanye, he gives me this little box with a Disney Mickey toy, Apple headphones, Netflix (and) Amazon gift cards and Adidas socks," Kim revealed on an an Instagram story on Tuesday. Not a bad haul as is, right?

"But then, I open the next box and it is stock to Amazon, where he got the gift cards, stock to Netflix, stock to Apple – hence the little headphones, Adidas stock and Disney stock," she continued.

As of Wednesday, Apple and Adidas shares are worth about $170 apiece, and Kim received more than 900 shares for both, coming out to more than $300,000 total for those two. Netflix shares are valued even higher at $180, and Amazon's price is even higher at $1,175.

CNBC notes that all of the companies have performed well this year.

But let's go back to what Kim actually said -- "for one of my Christmas presents." We can only imagine what else was under the tree this year. Ah, the life.
