Paris Court Grants Kim Kardashian €1 in Civil Case Over 2016 Hotel Robbery

The ruling gives Kardashian a symbolic recognition, with larger financial damages ordered for a hotel receptionist and the Hôtel de Pourtalès.

Overview

  • A Paris civil court on Tuesday awarded Kim Kardashian and her stylist the €1 each that they requested in relation to the October 2016 armed robbery at the Hôtel de Pourtalès.
  • The court also ordered €109,516 for a former hotel receptionist who said he was traumatized during the heist and €50,000 for the Hôtel de Pourtalès to cover harm to the property and business.
  • Eight people were found guilty in 2025 for roles in the robbery and the alleged mastermind, Aomar Ait Khedache, was given a three-year sentence that was covered by time already served in pretrial detention so none of the convicted returned to prison.
  • During the attack two men dressed as police bound Kardashian and escaped with more than $6 million in jewelry, most of which remains unrecovered including the engagement ring from then-husband Ye.
  • Kardashian said she sought the symbolic euro to secure official recognition of the trauma rather than money, a choice that may offer personal closure while leaving questions about security and missing property unresolved.
