 Kim has received intense criticism on social media users for traveling to a private island, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, for a lavish birthday celebration with friends and family.

However, Kim has continued to post throwbacks from the trip, which comprised of 30 people flying to a private resort in French Polynesia on October 20 in a charter Boeing 777, according to Page Six.

She and her family and friends stayed for five days at the Brando Resort near Tahiti, where rooms can run up to $20,000 per night, on the private island previously owned by the late Marlon Brando.

Kim initially shared photos of her surprise trip on Instagram and Twitter, but she instantly sparked a significant backlash.

Meme creators went to work, posting movie stills from sinister or comical island locations, or clueless displays of extreme wealth, to accompany her initial tweet: ‘After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.’

Some critics were angered that the reality star and her friends and family had traveled as COVID-19 cases were reaching alarming levels throughout the US, and that they socialized without a single mask in sight.

Others questioned the display of wealth as many Americans, and people across the globe, have lost their jobs or had to make due with less due to economic devastation brought on by the pandemic and government inaction.
