Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian, born Kimberly Noel Kardashian on October 21, 1980, in Los Angeles, California, is a prominent media personality, socialite, and businesswoman. She first gained media attention as a friend and stylist of Paris Hilton, but her fame skyrocketed after the release of a controversial sex tape in 2007. This led to her and her family’s reality TV show, “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” which aired from 2007 to 2021 and spawned several spin-offs1. Over the years, Kim has built a significant online presence and launched successful businesses, including KKW Beauty, KKW Fragrance, and the shapewear brand Skims, which is valued at over $4 billion as of 20231. She has also ventured into acting and political activism, particularly in prison reform1. Despite facing criticism for being “famous for being famous,” Kim has leveraged her celebrity status to become a billionaire and a powerful influencer in various industries.
