Profile
Kim Kardashian is an American media personality, socialite, and businesswoman who rose to fame in the early 2000s. Born on October 21, 1980, in Los Angeles, California, she is the daughter of Robert Kardashian, a prominent attorney known for his role in the O.J. Simpson trial, and Kris Jenner, a television personality and businesswoman.
Kim first gained significant public attention in 2007 following the release of an “unauthorized” X-rated tape featuring her and her then-boyfriend Ray J. While the controversy initially sparked widespread media attention, it also propelled her into the public eye and paved the way for her career as a reality TV star. Later that year, “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” premiered, chronicling the personal and professional lives of the Kardashian-Jenner family, turning Kim into a household name.
Beyond reality television, Kim has built a successful business empire. She co-founded the boutique chain DASH with her sisters, launched beauty and fragrance lines such as KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance, and established the shapewear brand Skims, which was valued at over $4 billion as of 2023. In addition to her entrepreneurial ventures, Kim has pursued criminal justice reform and is studying law with the goal of becoming a lawyer.
An interesting fact about Kim is her influence on social media; she has hundreds of millions of followers across platforms, making her one of the most followed people globally. Her personal life, including high-profile relationships and her family, continues to captivate media attention. She was married to rapper Kanye West from 2014 to 2022, and they have four children together: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
