A recent photo of Khloé Kardashian on Instagram captures her getting ready for a promotional event for her Good American jeans line, surrounded by a team of assistants. The Kardashian clan, worth an estimated combined $2 billion, relies heavily on its staff to maintain its image of the perfect life. Insiders have now come forward to divulge the family's concealed financial issues, unusual habits, and excessive requests.
According to Star magazine's latest issue, sources reveal that each family member treats their staff differently. Khloé is described as “ruthless and cold-blooded,” demanding perfection in every detail. In February, the 38-year-old reality star was sued by a former household assistant who claims he was fired after taking a leave of absence for a leg injury.
Insiders say Khloé is struggling to cover her debts, reportedly amounting to $7 million. She's said to have borrowed heavily against her $17 million home and is having difficulty paying her staff.
On the other hand, Kim Kardashian is known for being kind to her employees, although she has strict rules. In late 2022, the KKW Beauty founder revealed that her staff must adhere to specific color palettes when working in her all-white home. However, insiders say Kim is “generally polite and sweet” and often surprises her employees with gifts.
Working for the Kardashians is not for the faint-hearted, with sources describing “brutal” hours. Khloé expects her staff to be up at 4:30 a.m. when she heads to her home gym. While Kylie Jenner spends her time at home with her children, her sister Kendall Jenner travels constantly. However, Kendall's staff must keep her L.A. residence immaculate at all times. At Kim's house, employees are constantly on laundry duty, as Kim is said to be obsessed with smelling good and detests certain scents.
Insiders claim that the Kardashian staff has witnessed some awkward moments. Kim is known to take nude selfies, sometimes surprising her staff. Kourtney Kardashian and husband Travis Barker frequently engage in public displays of affection in front of their children and employees. Staff members have a front-row seat to the family's drama, such as Khloé's tumultuous relationships and her focus on her appearance.
Insiders also report that Kendall has experienced lows in her love life, often appearing heartbroken and despondent. Kris Jenner, the matriarch of the family, is said to treat her boyfriend Corey Gamble like a personal servant, having him attend to her every need. In exchange, the 42-year-old lives a life of luxury without financial worries.
As insiders lift the veil on the Kardashians' hidden world, it's clear that the famous family's glamorous life comes with its fair share of challenges and demands.
