Kris Jenner and Mariah Carey sat down together at the table again, this time at Nobu Malibu. TMZ photographed them on August 26, 2026, laughing over sushi and drinks, in what they described as a classic girls’ night between old friends. It wasn’t the first time: months earlier, they had already been spotted dining at the Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi, in Santa Monica.
But what people commented on most wasn’t the dinner itself, but a question one user left after seeing the photo: “I always wonder if when these rich people go out to dinner, they split the bill, if one of them pays, or if the restaurant doesn’t charge them”.

A simple, almost tender question that many people ask themselves when faced with other people’s luxury. Because beyond the friendship between the ‘momager’ and the Queen of Christmas, what truly sparked curiosity was that very human question about how money works when two icons sit down to eat together.
