She stayed in a luxurious 23-bedroom villa with amenities like private tennis courts, an open-air massage table, private chef, butler, and concierge, and space ample enough to accommodate 54 guests. Yet what made the vacation news—beyond the fact that it involved the fame-seeking family that always snags headlines—is that the entire thing was free. Vacation rental giant [Airbnb](https://www.airbnb.com/) picked up the entire tab for the place, which normally rents for $10,000 a night, with a five-night minimum. Naturally, Airbnb got something out of the arrangement. Namely: publicity. Jenner did her part by posting photos of the rental—and, most importantly, images of her and her friends there on Instagram. Like so: Now, Jenner's big sister Kim Kardashian and her husband Kanye West are apparently trying to score a similar deal, this time for a luxury penthouse in New York City. The [*New York Post's* "Page Six"](http://pagesix.com/2016/08/17/kim-and-kanye-trying-to-score-free-30m-apartment/) reported this week that "Kimye" is hoping to rent an apartment in Manhattan worth $30 million for a few months this fall, and they're hoping to secure the place entirely rent-free. ***Read Next:* [Kanye’s $53 Million In Debt Makes Him a Typical American](https://money.com/kanye-west-53-million-debt/)** “The plan would be for Kimye to live there for a few months for free, and Kim will post on social media about the apartment, like her sisters did from Turks and -Caicos. Airbnb would pick up the tab for the rent,” an Airbnb spokesperson told the *Post*. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-airbnb-nyc-apartment-free/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Lifestyle", "item": "https://money.com/lifestyle/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Celebrities", "item": "https://money.com/celebrities/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Kim and Kanye Want Airbnb to Give Them a $30 Million Manhattan Apartment, Rent-Free" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-airbnb-nyc-apartment-free/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-airbnb-nyc-apartment-free/", "name": "Kim and Kanye Want Airbnb to Give Them a $30 Million Manhattan Apartment, Rent-Free", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2016-08-19T15:59:51.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-airbnb-nyc-apartment-free/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-airbnb-nyc-apartment-free/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-04-17T03:24:10.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "Kim and Kanye Want Airbnb to Give Them a $30 Million Manhattan Apartment, Rent-Free", "articleSection": "Lifestyle", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2016/08/160819_em_kimkanye.jpg?crop=0px%2C43px%2C2100px%2C1181px&quality=85", "width": 1012, "height": 569, "caption": "160819_EM_KimKanye" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Brad Tuttle", "url": "https://money.com/author/brad-tuttle/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/brad-tuttle/#author", "description": "Brad Tuttle is a former senior editor at Money with over 10 years’ experience covering a vast number of personal finance topics, including careers, cars, travel, budgeting, investing, insurance, credit cards, consumer psychology, real estate, banking, and shopping and deals.\r\n\r\n", "image": "https://img.money.com/2014/01/Brad-Tuttle.png?w=226&h=247&crop=1", "alumniOf": "Columbia University School of Journalism, MS", "sameAs": [ "https://twitter.com/bradrtuttle", "https://linkedin.com/in/brad-tuttle-834b225" ] } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2016-08-19T15:59:51.000Z", "description": "After Kylie Jenner snagged a free $10,000-a-night vacation rental from Airbnb, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West want the same deal in Manhattan.", "abstract": "After Kylie Jenner snagged a free $10,000-a-night vacation rental from Airbnb, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West want the same deal in Manhattan.", "@id": "https://money.com/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-airbnb-nyc-apartment-free/", "inLanguage": "en-US", "dateModified": "2024-04-17T03:24:10.000Z", "wordCount": 257, "keywords": [ "celebrities", "marketing", "pubdesk", "rich", "Wealth" ], "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Lifestyle", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifestyle" ] }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Celebrity", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity" ] } ] } ] } ```
