Kim Kardashian Baby Bump Pictures Up for Sale? Photos Expected to Fetch $300,000

Reality television star Kim Kardashian, who is pregnant with her first child with rapper boyfriend Kanye West, is reportedly set to make huge money out of her baby bump pictures.

The celebrity couple surprised their fans around the world by announcing that they are expecting their first child.

Kim Kardashian's mother Kris Jenner is planning to sell her daughter's baby bump photos to the highest bidder.

"[It] likely will sell at $300,000, and that's Kim solo because Kanye always looks so miserable," a source told New York Daily News.

It was Kanye West, who first made the announcement to an audience of over 5,000 people at the Ovation Hall at the Revel Resort in Atlantic City. "Now you having my baby," he yelled out to the crowds.

"It's true!! Kanye and I are expecting a baby. We feel so blessed and lucky and wish that in addition to both of our families, his mom and my dad could be here to celebrate this special time with us. Looking forward to great new beginnings in 2013 and to starting a family. Happy New Year!!! Xo," Kim later confirmed on her website.

"Keeping secrets is hard with so many family members! Especially when you are so freaking excited!!!!! LOVE is everything!!!!" wrote Kim's younger sister Khloe.

"Been wanting to shout from the rooftops with joy and now I can! Another angel to welcome to our family. Overwhelmed with excitement!" tweeted Kourtney Kardashian.

Kim was previously married to NBA player Kris Humphries of the New Jersey Nets for 72 days before filing for divorce. Their lavish wedding was aired on E! as a two-part special television programme in October.

After her separation from Humphries, Kim went public with her relationship with West in March. However, she is still legally married to Humphries and will reportedly tie the knot with Kanye once her divorce is finalised.
