The iconic status symbol - which was listed by Sotheby's - was originally created for actress and model Jane Birkin in 1984.
Despite stains and scratches, it became the most expensive handbag ever sold after a buyer paid a huge €8.6 million ($10 million).
Kim Kardashian, 44, took to social media to poke fun at the sale as she seemed to be eyeing up the bag.
She posted a video on her Instagram which featured an AI version of herself by meme account RickDick.

The character broke a glass case which contained the original Birkin bag, as the caption read: "birKIM."
After the post, she followed up with a string of texts from various people, who all wondered if she had bought the extortionate accessory.
One text read: "Please tell me you bought that Birkin. Would be BAD ASS."
Another pal asked: "Are u the winner of the first Birkin bag?"
While a third enquired: "Did you buy Jane Birkin's birkin?!!?"
As a fourth jokingly stated: ""Kim for real did you buy the original Birkin??? Or should I stop blaming you every time I lose an auction?"

And someone else added: "Okay tell me the truth, did you buy the Birkin or not?"
However, the designer bag actually went to a private collector from Japan - whose identity is known - despite the speculation.
The bid was placed through Maiko Ichikawa who is the Country Head of Sotheby's Japan
Jeff Bezos' wife Lauren Sanchez - who is a close friend of The Kardashians reality star - was also rumored to have bid for ownership of the bag.
According to the Associated Press, the auction started at a whopping $1million as bids were placed both in person and via the phone.
Bids were as high as $6.5 million, $6.8 million and €6.2 million ($7.2million) before the final price was agreed.

Jessie J says her ‘hair has been falling out like crazy' after cancer surgery
In a recent Instagram post, the Price Tag singer said: 'My hair has been falling out like crazy since the surgery. 'Five weeks today, since my surgery, and I'm feeling ok… my boobs still aren't even, this is the implant still so sore, and then this is my old, oh, you're not old.' She continued: 'Now I'm just trying to figure out what the next kind of six months is going to look like. 'I know that it has to change, and I can't do anything that I was supposed to be doing, but I just want to be able to like, make it work best I can for everybody, me, Sky (her daughter), my fans, but in the right order. 'It's so hard, like you're always going to leave some people disappointed, my perspective on everything has changed so much.' The London-born star also revealed she had a new song 'coming out soon' but said she would 'not be able to do as much promo for it' due to her recovery following the operation, adding that she 'can't have it sitting in my phone for another year'. It comes after she said her latest visit to hospital was a 'reminder to myself to slow down' even though she felt she was already at a slow pace. In an earlier Instagram post, Cornish said: 'This isn't a speedy recovery and it isn't meant to be. 'As an ADHD Aries, fire breathing dragon t-rex, I can do it myself, I'm always ok woman. That slow pace has been a hard reality to accept to be honest. 'I love moving and working and being up and active but I can't be right now, and that's what it is, and I am finding the strength knowing that all can be adjusted to align with a slower pace and the support of my very small inner support circle.' Cornish welcomed her son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, in 2023, having had a miscarriage in November 2021. She has battled with ill-health throughout her life, having been diagnosed with a heart condition aged eight, suffering a minor stroke aged 18 and having briefly gone deaf in 2020. The singer-songwriter has had three number one songs in the UK singles chart with Domino, Price Tag and Bang Bang. She was awarded four Mobo awards in 2011 including best UK act, best newcomer, best song for Do It Like A Dude and best album with Who You Are, and won the Brit Award for rising star in 2011.

Bonnie Blue Instagram mystery as star vanishes hours after Ibiza Final Boss video
Controversial adult star Bonnie Blue vanished from Instagram just hours after posting an awkward video with 'Ibiza Final Boss' Jack Kay - and it's not the first time she's vanished from the platform Bonnie Blue vanished from Instagram just hours after posting a video with 'Ibiza Final Boss' Jack Kay. The controversial adult star - who has so far been banned from OnlyFans, a football stadium and Australia over her extreme and potentially dangerous sex stunts - went dark on the social media platform today, with her once verified account unavailable for hours. It's not the first time Bonnie has disappeared from Instagram. Earlier this year, her account on the Meta-owned platform went dark, as well as her TikTok page. The star's page has now dramatically returned, but it's unclear whether the Instagram account was banned or removed. It comes as 'Ibiza Bob' launches his music career with a cheeky single. The sex worker is notorious for using rage bait as the cornerstone of her marketing strategy, making any move away from social media a shock decision. She recently admitted in a divsive Channel 4 documentary about her life that she uses multiple different accounts on each platform to spam users with content designed to outrage viewers and drive engagement. She also boasted about mocking and belittling women in her posts. PR expert Sophie tells The Mirror of her social media scheme: "Her use of rage-baiting and hostility towards other women may also point to internalised misogyny or a competitive survival strategy in a space where attention equals power. "Publicly belittling others can offer a temporary illusion of control or superiority – especially when self-worth is closely tied to external validation, views, or notoriety." The mystery Instagram snub comes shortly after Bonnie's strange meet-up with viral Geordie raver Jack Kay. In a wince-worthy video from the Ibiza get together, Jack is seen with his arm draped around Bonnie as he faces away from her. Another moment shows the duo awkwardly making conversation, stood noticeably far away from each other. Following their encounter, Bonnie said in a now-deleted clip: "It was my shortest video yet. I was shocked how nervous he was." Bonnie has become notorious for taking part in extreme sex stunts, including sleeping with 1,057 men in the space of just 12 hours. And in recent months, her troubling career ambitions escalated to the point where OnlyFans, the site where she made a name for herself, decided she was no longer a good fit. The final straw came in June, when the 26-year-old announced her plans to hold a human "petting zoo challenge". The stunt would have seen Bonnie locked in a glass cage as strangers came to do "whatever they wanted" to her. In Channel 4 's show '1,000 Men And Me: The Bonnie Blue Story' - which sparked hundreds of Ofcom complaints - Nottinghamshire-born Bonnie boasted: "I am going to be completely helpless, tied down, gagged, choked". OnlyFans had concerns about this stunt, which it claims was in violation of their Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service, and issued a permanent ban. Campaigners and other sex workers have long called for the website to take action against Bonnie's stunts but it continued to platform her until very recently. Confirming the permanent ban in a statement, an OnlyFans spokesperson previously said: "Extreme challenge content is not available on OnlyFans and is not permitted under our Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service. "Any breach of our Terms of Service results in content or account deactivation… This is why it has been necessary to take this action. We always act when users breach our terms of service." For Bonnie, who claims to have earned millions through the site, it was a huge blow. Shortly after the ban, she accused the OnlyFans of acting inconsistently and bowing to peer pressure. She claimed: "OnlyFans took unprecedented action by banning me for making content, while multiple other creators are mimicking my entire marketing techniques and events." Adding that she ensures all safety checks are in place at her events, Bonnie continued: "If I didn't have the platform I have for the hard work I've done, I don't think they would have battered an eyelid, as proven with all of these other creators.' This isn't the only time Bonnie has been hit with a strict ban. Earlier this year, Bonnie told the Daily Star that she'd been marched off the premises of Nottingham Forest Football Stadium last October and permanently barred. She alleged: "I didn't understand why, because I'd not actually done anything. Even in my TikToks leading up to the game, I never said I wanted to have sex, do any half-time bonking, nothing. I just said: 'Hey, I'm going to be at the Nottingham game'. "When you go to football, you've got football hooligans, people fighting, drinking, you've got so much bigger things to be concerned about, and they were just like - no, you're banned." Bonnie is also banned from Australia after her plans to sleep with 18-year-old boys for content during 'Schoolies Week' infuriated Aussie parents. A 20,000-strong petition ensued, and her visa was revoked. Whether or not Bonnie has been banned from Instagram has yet to be seen.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz's celeb friends turn their back on couple amid Beckham family feud
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BROOKLYN Beckham's friends have frozen him out after his marriage to Nicola Peltz and a bitter feud with his family. The aspiring chef walked down the aisle with Nicola for a second time earlier this month but shockingly none of his former friends or family attended the event. 8 Brooklyn was good mates with Jack Ramsay Credit: Getty 8 Brooklyn and Nicola with Selena Gomez and a friend Credit: Planet Photos 8 Rocco and Brookyln pictured in London in 2016 Credit: Vantage News 8 Brooklyn and Anais had been pals for years Credit: Instagram 8 The pair's second nuptials were officiated by Nicola's father Credit: Instagram The Beckhams were not invited to the lavish ceremony on August 2 and only read about it online. It seems some of his closest friends also didn't make the cut. Brooklyn, 36, was famously close to a string of nepo-babies in London, including Madonna's son Rocco Ritchie, Selena Gomez, Noel Gallagher's daughter Anais, and Gordon Ramsay's kids Jack and Holly Ramsay. The celebrity chef's siblings, along with Rocco, were at his first wedding in 2022, none of the nepo babies he grew up with have shown their support for his relationship recently. READ MORE ON BROOKLYN AISLE BE DAMNED Real reason Brooklyn didn't invite brothers Romeo or Cruz to second wedding Meanwhile, Nicola and Brooklyn's pal Selena Gomez, once the most followed woman on Instagram, has failed to congratulate the pair. A source said: "It seems like a real shutdown - all of his celebrity mates have frozen him out since the feud with his parents went public. "Rocco, Selena, the Ramsay kids - none of them have even liked the wedding pics after Nicola posted, let alone commented to congratulate them. VIP pals at Brooklyn and Nicola's 2022 wedding Among the famous guests at his 2022 wedding were Rocco Ritchie, Gordon Ramsay and all five of his children, Lionel Ritchie's daughters Sofia and Nicole Ritchie, model Gigi Hadid, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündche, Snoop Dogg who organised Brooklyn's Las Vegas Stag Do, Victoria's pals Eva Longoria, Serena and Venus Williams, and Spice Girls Mel B, Mel C, and Emma Bunton, along his godmother Elizabeth Hurley. "Things have gone very cold with his old friends - it's like the marriage to Nicola meant he started a whole new life with new people around him. "It's really sad but clearly people have sensed a shift in his life and priorities. "It's a bad look to be aligned with someone who is feuding with his parents so publicly." Brooklyn Beckham & Nicola Peltz 'renew wedding vows' after 3 years of marriage The Sun exclusively revealed David and Victoria's fears that Brooklyn has "quit" the family for good following his marriage vow renewal. Last night a source said: 'This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria. 'Seeing Nelson having such a pivotal role at the ceremony was heartbreaking for David especially. "Not one member of the 30-plus extended family knew about the wedding, or were invited. 'His grandparents are devastated too as Brooklyn has always been so close to them. 'At the original wedding, for example, Liberty - the daughter of Victoria's sister, Louise — was a bridesmaid but even she has been cut off now. The rift runs far deeper than people realise. 'It feels cruel and spiteful. This is no longer a game. It has gone beyond all that. 'This is a family who feel they have lost their precious boy - and see no way back. "Honestly, they are now questioning why he even wants to keep the 'Beckham' surname - will he revert to Peltz? "August 2nd 2025 - is this the day Brooklyn formally declared himself no longer a part of the Beckham family?" It's gotten so bad that Brooklyn and Nicola will not feature in fashion designer Victoria's upcoming documentary. OLIVE BRANCH The Sun previously revealed Nicola and Victoria clashed over the actress's first wedding to Brooklyn. Nicola believed she was upstaged Victoria and friends of the American actress claimed she burst into tears on the day. Things turned bitter this year when Brooklyn and Nicola failed to attend any of David's 50th birthday celebrations. However, before the latest wedding snub, Matriarch Victoria, 51, liked Brooklyn's Instagram reel showing him rustling up pasta in the kitchen, suggesting tensions could be thawing. His brother Cruz Beckham also liked photos from Brooklyn and Nicola's Moncler photoshoot. However, Brooklyn and Nicola refused to invite even his brothers to his second wedding. A source told The Sun that the couple were left fed up by swipes and jabs coming from the boys on social media around April and May. A source said today: "Romeo and Cruz's social media posts clearly reflect how they feel about him, and how they've been treating him. Why would they expect an invitation?" 8 Brooklyn and Nicola shared more stunning snaps from their wedding vow renewal which showed she changed into a blue dress Credit: brooklynpeltzbeckham/Instagram 8 They were joined by pals for a cheery group snap at the afterparty Credit: brooklynpeltzbeckham/Instagram
