The world’s arguably most famous/ overexposed couple have millions in the bank, mansions aplenty and a rumoured joint worth of £100million.

However Kim, 34, and Kanye 37, have proved even they can slum it now and again.

On their recent trip to Armenia, where Kim’s late father originates from, the reality star and the rapper were snapped snoozing in economy. Yes- economy!

Kanye- perhaps a touch nippy or just embarrassed, can be seen hiding under his hoodie in a snap taken by fellow passenger Miles Newlove.

Kim, meanwhile tries to sleep (rather uncomfortably) curled up in the corner. Not quite the same as stretching out in a private jet we guess.

"Dying Kim and Kanye flew Economy to Armenia," fan Miles Newlove captioned the photo.

However Kim didn’t seem too traumatised by her experience, tweeting on their arrival:

"My husband and daughter came to Armenia as well to see my heritage and learn about my ancestors! My cousins came along too! So excited I can't sleep."

"Armenia we are here!!!!! We are so grateful to be here & start this journey of a lifetime! Thank you to everyone who greeted us! I can't wait to explore our country and have some yummy food! MyDadAndGrandParentsWouldBeSoProud.”

Perhaps they needed a break from fur coats and FROWS at PFW?
