Kanye West donates $1 million to charity for Kim Kardashian West's birthday
Kanye West is known for his over-the-top displays of affection for his wife, Kim Kardashian West, and true to form, he went all out for her 39th birthday.
The reality TV star tweeted that in addition to gifting her with "the most amazing bags," her rapper husband also donated $1 million to her favorite charities that work to advance prison reform.
According to Kardashian West, West -- along with the couple's four children, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm -- made the donation in her name to Cut 50, Buried Alive Project, Equal Justice Initiative and Anti-Recidivism Coalition.
"This makes my heart so happy!" she tweeted.
Kardashian West announced earlier this year that in addition to launching beauty and shapewear companies, she is also studying to become a lawyer.
Last year, she made headlines for successfully petitioning President Donald Trump to to grant clemency to Alice Marie Johnson, a grandmother who'd been sentenced to life in prison for a nonviolent crime. The experience was life-changing, she's said.
"I just felt like I wanted to be able to fight for people who have paid their dues to society," she told Vogue in April. "I just felt like the system could be so different, and I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more."
