Kim Kardashian kept how much from her charity auction?

Kim Kardashian was recently criticized for only giving 10 percent of proceeds from her eBay promotion to charity.

Kardashian hosted a charity auction online August 2012 after fiancé Kanye West asked her to downsize her closet on an episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

"The clothes I got rid of will be up on eBay," she tweeted, "for a charity auction! Going to Life Change Community Church [the church mom Kris Jenner helped found -- and fund]."

In the fine print, however, the 33-year-old reality star said that she would only be donating 10 percent, and RadarOnline.com has uncovered tax documents that reveal exactly how much Kardashian kept for herself.

According to the Paypal Charitable Giving Fund tax documents acquired by RadarOnline.com, Life Change Community Church received $19,975 after the auction.

"When the eBay numbers get broken down, the auction management agency that posts for me gets a percentage for all their hard work, then, eBay listing fees, end of auction fees, eBay Store fees, Paypal fees, etc, all add up to about half the sale," Kardashian explained. "Then I give 10 percent to charity."

However, the site noted: "By her math, and the amount the charity received, the total amount of the sale could be roughly $399,500, making her final cut roughly $179,775, in comparison to the charity's $19,975."

The starlet, whose claim to fame started with a sex tape, is used to such backlash.

"I feel compelled to speak about something that is in my head and my heart," she wrote on her Celebuzz blog. "Over the years, I've had to grow a thick skin. Being in the public eye, there are times I feel like I get criticized for any and everything I do. I'm used to it now. I just choose not to feed into negativity or become consumed by it."
