Kim Kardashian was born in Los Angeles, California on October 21, 1980. Robert Kardashian, Kim’s father, was one of OJ Simpson’s defence attorneys. Kris Kardashian, also known as Kris Jenner, is her mother. Kim began her work in Hollywood as an assistant and celebrity stylist. Paris Hilton, her best friend and fellow socialite, was one of her first major customers.
Kim Kardashian has two sisters, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, as well as her mother, Kris, and two half-sisters, Kendall and Kylie. Bruce Jenner (now known as Caitlyn Jenner) is the father of Kyle and Kendall. Kim has ascended through the ranks of celebrity over the last decade to become one of the world’s most renowned and successful superstars. She is a genuine media mogul with a highly profitable corporate empire. Kim’s empire now includes a cosmetics business, appearance fees, a television income, a clothing brand, weight reduction items, perfume, and retail sponsorships.
Kim rose to prominence with the emergence of a notorious sex tape between her and Ray J. Kim used her celebrity to launch her own reality programme, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, on the E! network. Kim’s celebrity has since catapulted to the stratosphere. She has been featured in films, on thousands of magazine covers, and on countless reality shows.
Personal Life
Along the way, Kardashian has dated a few NFL players, NBA players, and rappers. She became engaged to and married NBA star Kris Humphries in 2011. The marriage barely lasted 72 days. Kim earned $18 million from endorsements and television rights to this wedding.
Kim married Kanye West, the music mogul, following a highly publicised courtship and multiple appearances by Kanye on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Their daughter, North West, was born on June 15, 2013, and they married on May 24, 2014. They now have three children. Kim filed for divorce from Kanye on February 19, 2021.
Real Estate
Kim spent $9 million on a property in Los Angeles’ Bel Air neighbourhood in 2013. She and Kanye spent millions of dollars on improvements and stayed in this house while their Hidden Hills property was being built. Kim sold the Bel Air home for $18 million in 2017. Kim has lived in a big house in a gated enclave in Hidden Hills, California, since August 2014. Kim and Kanye paid $20 million to buy the home from a doctor. Lisa Marie Presley sold the residence to the doctor for $5 million in 2010.
Kim and Kanye then spent the next two years completely remodelling their home. Unfortunately, Kanye was dissatisfied with the final result in 2016, so they had to start over. They purchased neighbouring properties in two deals in 2019 to increase their footprint to 7.5 acres. Two swimming pools, two spas, a private vineyard, a full-sized basketball court, and a custom-built mansion are all part of the property.
When a wildfire threatened their property in 2018, they were forced to leave. Fortunately, Kim and Kanye had an insurance policy that includes coverage from private firefighters. Not only did the firefighters save their property, but the entire neighbourhood was saved at Kim and Kanye’s cost.
Kim paid Kanye $23 million in September 2021 to formally transfer the property under her name. Approximately $3 million of the total was spent on the home’s interior furnishings.
Kim spent $70 million for this 3+ acre Malibu home originally owned by Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber in September 2022:
Social Media Earnings
Kim is compensated between $300,000 and $500,000 for each sponsored Instagram post. She has also made up to $1 million. We know these figures are correct because she filed a complaint against Missguided USA in May 2019. Kim alleged in the complaint that Missguided plagiarises her ensembles and misleads customers into believing that Missguided is working on the outfits in collaboration with her. According to court filings, Kim receives $300-500k for each post and has made up to $1 million on multiple instances. According to the records, Kim declines several offers from businesses with which she does not want to be connected and instead selects a small number of partners each month. Kim’s Instagram earnings are anticipated to exceed $1-2 million per month.
Net Worth
Kim Kardashian is a $1.4 billion net-worth American reality television personality, model, businesswoman, and ambassador. Kim Kardashian is one of the world’s most renowned and wealthy celebrities. Kim generates between $50 and $80 million each year from her multiple ventures and her empire.
Kim made $72 million from her different endeavours between June 2018 and June 2019, and $50 million between June 2019 and June 2020. For a while, licencing and endorsement arrangements accounted for a sizable amount of Kim’s annual revenue. For example, revenues collected from the smartphone game “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood” made her a little fortune. The game was finally downloaded more than 60 million times and made a revenue of $200 million. Kim retains 28% of the app’s revenue to this day. Kim’s annual revenues outside of the mobile app come from endorsements, appearance fees, reality TV pay, and paid Instagram partnerships. She also owns a tanning business and a clothesline at Sears.
KKW Beauty Line, which debuted in 2017, now produces more than $100 million in gross sales. Kim sold a 20% share in KKW Beauty Line for $200 million in June 2020, valuing the firm at $1 billion. According to CNW, Kim’s net worth grew to $900 million as a consequence of the fundraising round.
In 2019, she raised $5 million from the venture capital company Imaginary Ventures to develop the Skims shapewear collection. Skims raised $154 million at a $1.6 billion value in 2021. Kim remained the dominant owner even after the large investment round.
