Kim recently appeared on Ellen and discussed the effect the robbery has had on her, explaining she's no longer as materialistic.

“But I’m so happy that my kids get this me, that this is who I am raising my kids. I just don’t care about that stuff anymore. I really don’t.”

The raven-haired beauty revealed she struggles to sleep without her room being guarded by security.

She said: “My whole life has changed in terms of how I travel and my security. I never thought I would need security staying outside of my door.

“I should have had a security guard outside of my door. Now I have several just for me to be able to sleep at night.

“Of course when you get engaged you’re going to show off your ring, if you get a car – no matter what it is – you feel really proud and you might show it off on social media.

“I’m not here to show off the way that I used to. It’s just not who I am anymore.”
