Khloe Kardashian’s “Life Savings” Rescued Kim from Post-Divorce Poverty—A Coca-Cola Piggy Bank to the Rescue!

Buy Me A Coffee

Before she was a billionaire mogul, Kim Kardashian was just a 21-year-old with empty pockets, fresh off a divorce, and in desperate need of a financial miracle. Enter her fairy god-sister, Khloe Kardashian, who cracked open her life savings—which, in this case, came in the form of a Coca-Cola-shaped piggy bank. Because obviously, this family doesn’t do anything the normal way.

Rewinding to the year 2000, a teenage Kim (now 44) eloped with music producer Damon Thomas, only to file for divorce in 2003. And as if the heartbreak wasn’t enough, she quickly realized that her wallet was just as empty as her marriage.

Khloe’s Childhood Fortune Saves the Day
On the latest episode of The Kardashians (airdate: March 6), Kim shared the riveting tale of how she became homeless (okay, not really) and how Khloe, now 40, swooped in like a financial superhero—armed with a coin-stuffed soda bottle.

“When Khloe was like 4 or 5, she got this Coca-Cola piggy bank. We just kept stuffing money in it,” Kim reminisced. “Then I got divorced, moved out, and realized… oh, right, I have no money. So, my little sister—who was barely old enough to spell ‘divorce’—gave me her Coke bottle.”

And that childhood treasure chest wasn’t just for show—it was filled with actual cash!

Kim and Khloe spent the night cracking it open and counting up their fortune, which totaled a whopping $6,000—enough for Kim to put a downpayment on an apartment and start fresh. Move over, Wall Street, because Khloe Kardashian was out here making micro-loans before it was cool.

The Ultimate Sibling Bailout
Khloe, being the generous queen that she is, recalled her mindset at the time:

“She was crying in my room, and I was like, ‘Girl, hold up, I got this piggy bank—I mean, it’s literally my entire net worth, but take it!’ So we cracked it open, ran to the bank, and boom—divorce fund secured.”

Fast forward to Khloe’s 40th birthday, and Kim finally found a way to pay back the debt.

“So for her birthday, I tracked down the exact same Coca-Cola piggy bank, filled it up, and was like, ‘Thank you for your services,’” Kim said. “She couldn’t believe I remembered the Coke bottle. But like… duh! That thing funded my freedom!

Moral of the story? If you ever find yourself newly divorced and broke, make sure you have a little sister with a piggy bank full of emergency funds.
