Kim Kardashian is one of the wealthiest people in the world. She is among the billionaires of today with her staggering net worth.
Forbes said that the 41-year-old celebrity is worth $1.8 billion. But, does this make her the wealthiest member of the Kardashian-Jenner household?
Apparently, the SKIMS founder is, indeed, the family member with the highest net worth. To date, she is the only billionaire in the family, as the closest that comes to her, in terms of wealth, is Kylie Jenner.
The youngest sibling is currently worth $900 million, as per reports. Although she obtained the title “world’s youngest self-made billionaire” in 2019, Forbes dropped her and her title about a year later.
Kim Kardashian began to boost her wealth dramatically in 2017. It was the year when she founded KKW Beauty, shortly after Kylie Jenner met massive success in her own beauty line, Kylie Cosmetics.
Much like what happened to her younger sister, Kardashian found success, as well, in her venture. By 2020, she sold 20 percent of the company to Coty, Inc., closing a $200 million deal and bumping the value of the company to a billion, according to Fox Business.
A year prior, the reality star founded her second company, SKIMS. Per official reports, she owns 35 percent of the venture, placing her stake’s worth at at least $375 million.
In 2021, the value of SKIMS rose to $1.6 billion, making her an official billionaire. In 2022, the valuation of the company went up further to $3.2 billion after investors raised $240 million.
Apart from her two companies, Kim Kardashian earns several more millions in her other projects and ventures. In the past, she and the rest of her family had their reality show, “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” where each of them reportedly made at least $5 million per season.
When the series ended after 20 seasons in 2021, they debuted their new reality show, “The Kardashians” on Hulu earlier in April. It is believed that the family earns much more millions in the new material.
Alongside the shows, the KKW Beauty founder also has endorsements and advertisements. With the help of her massive following on social media, her single post is reportedly worth hundreds of thousands.
Celebrity Net Worth has a brief profile on Kim Kardashian’s finances. The page even includes some “financial facts” about the celebrity.
One of the claims is about her earnings back in 2015. It states that Kardashian earned $53 million during that year, making her the “highest-paid celebrity on the planet for the first time.”
