- Some fans called Kourtney Kardashian Barker's elaborate birthday floral arrangements "ridiculous."
- Kardashian responded to one commenter, saying they donate the flowers to the children's hospital.
The Kardashians are no strangers to lavish displays of wealth — and facing criticism over said displays — but this time, Kourtney Kardashian Barker is clapping back directly.
The Poosh founder, who turned 44 on Tuesday, celebrated her recent birthday with a series of events, including one party at a bowling alley with her two youngest kids and a couples' stay at the Kennedy Cottage on San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California with husband Travis Barker.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Kardashian Barker reflected on her birthday and shared a few looks at her gifts and celebrations.
"Feeling so overwhelmed with gratitude for all of the birthday love and wishes. Turning 44 was a dream," she wrote in the caption.
The post included photos and videos of a bed surrounded by rose petals, Kardashian Barker blowing out candles on a birthday cake, a mariachi band serenade, and most notably, multiple enormous floral displays she'd received as gifts.
Many of Kardashian Barker's fans and celebrity friends commented to wish her a happy birthday, but other commenters were more focused on the flowers.
One person called them an "obscene display of wealth," and another said it was "absolutely ridiculous."
"Holy smokes. Amazing to see but those flowers alone are probably worth more than my yearly income," one user wrote.
In one comment thread, a person asked others what they think the Kardashians — who really, really love an elaborate floral arrangement — "do with the flowers after they are looked at."
Kardashian Barker chimed in, replying, "we donate them to the children's hospital."
The Kardashians have been questioned over their extravagant parties and decor many times before.
In 2019, Kardashian Barker's sister Khloé Kardashian similarly addressed a fan who tweeted asking what the family does with "with all the props, decor, and leftover food after birthday parties."
Khloé replied that while they normally rent decor, she saves personalized signs in storage for future family events, while the food leftover gets "donated to a food bank or church" or "elsewhere depending on the situation."
