*Kim Kardashian attends the Paris Fashion Week prior to Sunday's robbery.*

Kim Kardashian’s stolen jewels are not quite worth the whopping $10 million as initially reported. The reality star, who was robbed at gunpoint in her Paris hotel last Sunday, filed an insurance claim that values the stolen goods at a far lower amount than originally reported, according to [insurance documents obtained by TMZ](http://www.tmz.com/2016/10/07/kim-kardashian-stolen-ring-insurance/).

Thieves stole about a dozen items from Kardashian, including a jewelry box full of valuables, a purse, two cell phones, cash and her 20-carat, emerald cut [Lorraine Schwartz diamond ring](http://people.com/style/kim-kardashian-stolen-diamond-ring-details/). Kardashian received the upgraded ring from her husband, Kanye West, in June in celebration of closing a [deal with Adidas](http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/10/kanye-west-gifted-kim-kardashian-her-ring-after-adidas-deal.html) to sell his YEEZY line of clothing.

The ring alone is worth $4 million. The other 13 items she claimed with insurers were worth about $1.6 million, bringing the total value of the crime to $5.6 million.

Some of the difference between the originally reported value of the stolen goods and the insurance value can be chalked up to the insurance policy. [Robert Lejman, president of Argyle Insurance Agency, told Complex Style](http://www.complex.com/style/2016/10/kim-kardashian-robbed-paris-jewelry-value) on Monday usually jewelry is insured under what they call an agreed value policy. "Agreed value" means that the policy is set at what you will receive as a settlement value, rather than a replacement policy, in which you would receive the actual retail dollar value.

“The designer could’ve charged $4 million, but they could have insured it for less than that, if they wanted to. You can insure it for any kind of value that’s reasonable,” Leiman said.
