$5m for Baby KimYe’s First Pictures

Arriving last Saturday- five weeks earliervthan scheduled, Baby KimYe spoiled her parents' plan of sharing the spotlight with the Queen of England's first great-grandchild ,expected to be born to the Duke of
Cambridge, and his gracefully
pregnant consort, Kate Middleton, in July.

Against all expectations, the 32-year-old reality-TV-queen
Kimberly opted for a natural birth rather than easier delivery alternatives. For the very first time, Kim - a woman of very easy virtues and Kris Jenner's biggest cash cow - is applauded for choosing a difficult option.
Another big surprise is that she didn't take over an entire floor of the Cedars- Sinai Hospital, in Beyonce Carter fashion, for her delivery.

Impromptu delivery or not, trust
Grandma Kris, Baby Daddy Kanye and the whole Kardashian/Jenner clan to protect baby KimYe's pictures from leaking to the public for free. All we hear for now is that she has dark hair and looks morevlike her mum than dad.

According to experts, the first pictures of KimYe could command an upward of $5 million. Brad Elterman, of the Buzz Foto Agency, confirmed this while adding that:

"There are very few groundbreaking
stories in today's pop culture that can command big bucks, but I guess this is one that will get some tails wagging."

Kim had sold exclusive picture rights of her second wedding ceremony to People's Magazine for the sum of $1.8 million and bridal shower pictures to OK! Mag for $100,000 as part of the total $18M she reportedly made off the pre and actual wedding coverage by the media. The August 2011 marriage to Basketballer Kris Humphries lasted 72 days.
