In October 2016, Kim Kardashian was tied up and held at gunpoint in a Paris apartment by masked thieves posing as police, who stole about $10 million in jewelry, including her famous engagement ring from now ex-husband Kanye West.

French authorities later arrested a group of career criminals, and multiple members were convicted in 2025 following a high-profile trial where Kim testified about the lasting trauma.
