The first photo featured a bed surrounded by red rose petals with a white canopy. Another video showed her sitting in a restaurant as she blew out her birthday candles. The series of uploads also featured an array of stunning flower arrangements apart from a birthday gift given to her by Travis. It was a coloured pencil drawing by artist Yoshitomo Nara which was sold at an auction for approximately $161,819, according to Sotheby’s.

While several people took to the comment section to wish the The Kardashians star a happy birthday, others criticised Kourtney over the excessive amount of flowers and display of wealth.

While one user wrote, “The flowers = absolutely ridiculous. I felt instant embarrassment at that display”, another commented: “Wouldn’t it be nice if other unfortunate people could experience this.”

“Donate the value of those flowers to children’s hospitals so they can put the money where it’s most needed. Just a suggestion. Second hand flowers is an ego boost not charitable,” a user added.

Calling this an “obscene display of wealth”, a user wrote. “Haven’t heard of any philanthropic endeavours on your part, ever.”
