When Kim Kardashian West was first mentioned in the pages of Forbes in 2011, it was simply a tally of her Twitter followers: 6.6 million, just below Barack Obama and just above Ashton Kutcher. Five years later, she graced the cover of Forbes thanks to her booming mobile game, which helped her earn $51 million that year. Now, she officially joins the list of the World’s Billionaires for the first time.
Forbes estimates that Kardashian West is now worth $1 billion, up from $780 million in October, thanks to two lucrative businesses—KKW Beauty and Skims—and paychecks from reality television and endorsement deals, and a number of smaller investments.
She cashed in on that ownership last year when she sold 20% of KKW Beauty to cosmetics conglomerate Coty for $200 million, a deal that valued the company at $1 billion. While Forbes estimates that figure is a little bloated—Coty, which also bought 51% of Kylie Cosmetics in 2020, is known for overpaying—her remaining 72% stake is still worth about $500 million, by our count. Kardashian West owns a majority stake in closely-held Skims, which hasn’t disclosed its revenues. Forbes estimates her Skims stake is worth a conservative $225 million.

This makes her the richest African American woman ever, right?
Ain't y'all tired???
This whole thing does not make sense , her company is worth 700 million when she only made 100 million in revenue .. bye forbes
Sure
Well hope the accountant Made sure the tax returns weren’t edited before turning them into Forbes 👀👀 now a days anyone can make a lot of money with no talent on social media.. it ain’t about talent on these apps it’s more.. how much more can you blow the audience’s minds with what you do.. and we all know how the Kardashians are 😏.. I still question billions though.. millions maybe but billions come on! Rare talented people don’t even make that much.. and people with many businesses like hers and kylies usually don’t go off making billions .. yea I’m questioning it for sure 🤨 she probably had to to count her income from small things like a post on IG or something small as well.. and their show had low views.. wouldn’t people want to watch them more now that they are so called billionaires.. idk
She made it into an effort to avoid her.
Like saying Michael Jacksons house was worth 800 million when he had an outstanding 95% mortgage.
Makes for nice headlines for idiots like us to read.
Kin a billionaire. Don't believe everything you hear.
Even if she and Kylie may not be billionaires and self-made. They're still multimillionaire and work very hard for what they have, no one gets rich by being lazy 🤔
To all people who are mean all their live because all they know is meanness, Kim Kardahian has spoken loud and clear, get a life.
Wow a billionaire. Incredible.
KIM IS REALLY BILLIONARE ❤
Im so happy for you
Well Kim? What more can one say??? You are a gorgeous thing !!! I wish I had someone who looked like you but I ended up with your uber eats double ! Who looks like magda subanski!!! Lol
As much as I maintain that they became millionaires and famous at first for nothing.
They all marketed themselves amazingly! Imagine becoming famous for a sextape and then keeping the relevancy it brought more than 10 years later and turned it into a monetary empire (this one goes to all of them). 🤷🏽♀️

$#$# live you wife
its not adding up. i did the math in my head during the video and it didnt add up to a billion.
So how do we know this is accurate since ya'll missed the correct tax bracket with kylie that kris tried so hard to push & cover up?
That looks like Naomi Campbell in the first video
The Kardashian family just use Forbes and other publications as pr. First Kylie, Kanye and Kim. Paid articles.
Only Money doesnt make you happy.
She’s even richer than Beyoncé lol
cmon 1 billion for what ?
Vocal fryyyyyyy
Stupid people making money out of stupid people. You can never under-estimate the power of stupidity.
Here before broke people come and complain
I don't care.
It's crazy cause some of them copied off of a lot of celebs and yet they made more money from it than the people that did start it, and it's cause of Kris. She is the mastermind behind this families success.
Her "self made" as in got rich from doing porn? Or "self made" as in privileges from rich parents. Y'all are crazy stupid aren't you..
her name could have been much worse
Good
Us dollar inflation turning thots into billionaires time to buy bitcoin💯🙆🏿♂️
Of course Kim k is the billionaire. Not Kylie Jenner
Kim beat Kyle. 🤣😂
Why is the audio soo bad on this… I understand that it's WFH and all but at least buy a good microphone.. Not expected from Forbes
How these kardashians becoming billionaires? They are faking or what?
The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine. Successful people do daily what the unsuccessful people only do occasionally.
That dumb girl madeline Ferg wrote the piece insulting Kanye. She said ‘Another rapper will come in with another shoeline when Kanye becomes irrelevant’. The contrast in her tone when discrediting Kanye as against her tone when talking about this talentless Kim. Forgetting that Kanye actually created SKIMs! Those were clothing from Yeezy Apparel. Kanye was right about Forbes!
Forbes literally has no clue of her biggest Assets in her empire
Really proud of her!
I wonder how much the guy who invented the COVID vaccine is worth.
Must be awesome for you and hubby to be self-made billionaires
Never worked a hard day in her life. The working man is a sucker
Hop on everyone to the Tank to find who the fruck ask
Who was the billionaire, first? Your youngest sister. So don’t be too proud! Yes, be proud of starting the show, but yet again don’t be too proud, how did you start the show?? Umm, through some stupidity! Heard that by my older sister…
I still can’t find who tf asked
congratulations Kim!!!!! 1B$ !!!!🔥🔥🔥
SHINE 🙌🏻 #MrsKanyeeeee
HIGH 👊🏻 KKW
