Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has revealed that she has been giving 10 per cent of earnings in charity.
The 33-year-old socialite was criticised for donating only a portion of the proceeds from her latest auction of her old clothes and accessories to help Typhoon Haiyan victims in the Philippines, reported Contactmusic.
"I feel compelled to speak about something that is in my head and my heart. My dad always taught me the importance of giving back. I don't publicise everything I do to help charities and people all over the world. I do it because I want to" Kardashian wrote on a blog.
"So for people to attack me for giving 10 percent of my eBay auction sales to the people of the Philippines, that hurts. I give 10 percent of all my earnings to charities, not just these eBay auctions," she added.
