The Kardashians are probably one of the most influential people in the 21st century. Despite critics pointing out they have mastered the art of “being famous for being famous”, Kardashians still continue to influence markets around the world. They have become influential figures in fashion, beauty, and in the influencer space. Here is a roundup of the Kardashians’ mind-numbing wealth as of today.
Kylie Jenner ($900 Million to $1 Billion)
The richest Kardashian is none other than Kylie Jenner. She is a fashion icon at the tender age of 22. Forbes once dubbed her as the “Youngest Self-Made Billionaire” and it’s for a good reason. Kylie managed to make her $29 pop lip kits into an iconic commodity in the beauty brand space. Starting in 2015, the craze for her cosmetics turned into a billion-dollar company under the name “Kylie Cosmetics”.
In 2019, Kylie sold majority shares of her company to Coty, a staple brand in the beauty industry for a whopping $600 Million. This effectively values her cosmetics brand in the billion-dollar territory. Kylie also serves as model and brand ambassadors to brands such as Adidas. It was reported that paid sponsorships in her Instagram account cost as much as seven figures. Wow, call that a big payday for a post.
In light of recent events, speculations state that Kylie may have misrepresented the value of her Kylie Cosmetics brand. Recent investigations by Forbes reveal that she may have overestimated the value of her brand with false numbers and documents. Leading the wealth aggregator to believe that she may be just worth a little less than a billion dollars, in the ballpark of $900 Million. Despite this, Kylie is still a multi-millionaire at age 22.
Kim Kardashian ($350 Million)
It’s arguable that she is the most popular of the bunch. Kim Kardashian is a multi-millionaire thanks to her mobile game Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. On top of this, she has multiple fragrance lines, product endorsements, and paid appearances.
Just like Kylie, Kim also released her own cosmetics company, KKW Beauty which was reported to have made $100 Million in its first year. Kim also launched her “solution-focused” shapewear and loungewear company, Skims.
Kim is also married to Kanye West, musician and a fashion icon in his own right. Yeezy is currently valued at $3.2 Billion. Call it a power couple.
Kris Jenner ($60 Million)
The mother of all these multi-millionaires. She famously calls herself “Momager”. Why? Because she manages the careers of her daughters. It is reported that she takes a 10% fee off her daughters’ projects. On top of this, she has her own partnerships and endorsements. She also serves as the executive producer of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”. Now that’s one busy momma.
Khloe Kardashian ($40 Million)
She cannot be considered as the sisters’ sidekick anymore. Khloe earns her millions from KUWTK appearances, shows like Revenge Body, fragrance lines, books, endorsement deals. Ultimately, she also launched a denim brand called “Good American” which was reported to have made $1 Million in sales, on its launch day. Good American deals with inclusivity and breaking down the industry standards. She states that they are creating more sizes, more than what the fashion industry wants to push borders of inclusivity further.
Kourtney Kardashian ($35 Million)
The oldest of the siblings earned her millions from her appearances in KUWTK, endorsement deals, and business ventures. Her latest endeavor is the health and wellness brand, Poosh. It is a beauty and lifestyle brand that she calls “a dialogue”. There are no concrete and direct definition of the brand. Looking at it, it seems like a platform that covers a lot of topics on modern living and allows the users to interface with each other. That’s the very rough definition of it.
Kendall Jenner ($30 Million)
Kendall might be at the bottom of the list but she is the world’s most sought after model. To date, she is the highest-paid model in the whole world. As she walks the runway, she also tows luxury fashion brands with her such as Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, Karl Lagerfeld, and Chanel among other brands. She also launched a fashion line with her younger sister Kylie named “Kendall + Kylie”.
Total Net Worth: $1.4-$1.5 Billion
Who’s your favorite Kardashian? That’s a tear-jerking total net worth for the sisters. With the fashion and beauty industry in their palms, do you think they’d get wealthier over the years?
