It’s a Christmas miracle! And by “miracle” I mean depressingly foreseeable thing that we all should have seen coming. Kim Kardashian’s new Kimoji app is making money. A LOT of money. How much money, you ask? At $1.99 a pop for a keyboard of more than 250 Kim-related icons, at one point on Monday, more than 9,000 people were downloading the app per second, grossing about $1 million a minute.
Kimoji made so much money that it literally broke the app store on Monday, which Kim noted on Twitter, as she likely sat back with her fingers ghoulishly tented.
Ahhhhhhhh I still can't believe we broke the entire App Store!!!! #KIMOJI

Unfortunately, not everyone is happy with their investment, as a few people have surfaced on Twitter to complain about the app not working.
My KIMOJI keyboard broke before I even got to send an ass emoji to anyone. (insert black heart) cc @KimKardashian

You know what they say about a fool and their money, et cetera, et cetera. Given the success of Kim’s iPad game last year, this is hardly surprising.
