Keeping Up With The Kardashians made the Kardashians and Jenners famous but Kim Kardashian’s net worth is something to behold.
Kim easily has the most popular face from Keeping Up With The Kardashians which is part of the reason for Kim Kardashian’s net worth. Kanye West’s wife has grown from a reality TV star to a business woman with a whole empire to run including businesses in the beauty and technology fields.
It turns out one of Kim’s main sources of income doesn’t come from the beauty industry at all. Instead, it comes from her mobile app Kim Kardashian: Hollywood according to Forbes.
As of last year, the game was downloaded 49 million times, with total earnings at $160 million. Kim has kept around $45 million of that for herself. That’s definitely not chump change!
Kim started her career as a stylist, even working for her former friend, Paris Hilton. However, what really helped her to take off on her own path was that sex tape with Ray J.
The film itself has reportedly netted $100 million. Kim Kardashian’s cut isn’t as clear but after having been viewed millions of times, reports have the KUWTK star pocketing somewhere in the $5 million range just from the tape alone.
