Kyle Richards Defends Splurging on Porsche for Daughter’s 16th Birthday
Kyle Richards is standing firm against critics upset over her daughter’s lavish birthday gift—a pricey Porsche—insisting that the extravagant present is well-deserved.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star addressed the controversy on Thursday in Los Angeles. She responded to the backlash she and Mauricio Umansky received after gifting their 16-year-old daughter, Portia, a brand-new Porsche Cayenne, valued at nearly $100,000.
Despite the outcry, with many claiming a teenager doesn’t need such a high-end vehicle, Kyle defended the decision, emphasizing that Portia has earned it.
Richards clarified that it was Mauricio who selected the luxury SUV, possibly drawn to it because its name closely resembles their daughter’s.
She also noted that the car didn’t come with the hefty $90,000 price tag often cited in reports. More importantly, she believes Portia is more than capable of handling the car and is an excellent driver.
Addressing the negative comments, Kyle suggested that the criticism doesn’t bother her, signaling a quiet but confident defiance to the outrage.
She and Mauricio are committed to celebrating significant milestones for their children and chose to make Portia’s sweet 16 extra special.
Richards and Umansky’s approach to parenting includes showering their kids with love and memorable experiences, even if that means facing public scrutiny.
