Marie Kondo says she's 'kind of given up' on tidying up after having three kids trends now
The queen of decluttering Marie Kondo has 'kind of given up' on keeping her own home tidy after three kids, saying spending time with her family is more important.
Kondo, 38, made millions off her tidy lifestyle from selling 13million copies of her first book, starring on a hit Netflix show, garnering her a net worth of around $7million.
