Kim's Billion-Dollar Empire: Skims Soars, North's Style, and Legal Ambitions

Kim Kardashian BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Kim Kardashian remains at the center of both business headlines and pop culture buzz, driven by the explosive growth of her Skims shapewear empire and her personal life’s relentless media exposure. Skims, which she co-founded in 2019, just hit a staggering 5 billion dollar valuation after raising 225 million dollars in new capital, according to Goldman Sachs and reported in the Los Angeles Times. This valuation, up from 4 billion two years ago, is fueled by Skims’ expansion into brick-and-mortar stores, international markets, and a new activewear partnership with Nike called NikeSkims—its launch in September saw products sell out immediately. While industry observers debate how reflective this valuation is of actual profits, Skims’ growth and consumer visibility are undeniable, with 1 billion dollars in projected sales for this year. Forbes continues to value Kim Kardashian's net worth at 1.9 billion dollars, putting her ahead of fellow moguls like Taylor Swift. Beyond Skims, Kim’s diverse revenue streams include endorsements, television work, and her legacy in the beauty sector. While she shut down her SKKN by Kim skincare line in June, she has consolidated her beauty assets, buying back a 20 percent stake in her old KKW Beauty brand from Coty. Her newer private equity firm, Skky Partners, now boasts investments in brands like Truff sauces and 111Skin. On the family side, Kim Kardashian has been vocal and public in her defense of daughter North West’s creative self-expression, which caused a stir on social media recently. North, age 12, posted a TikTok video with fake facial tattoos and a faux septum piercing, sparking waves of criticism and defense. Kim responded by calling the uproar a non-issue and stressed the importance of supporting North’s unique fashion interests, both on TikTok and in interviews like her recent appearance on Call Her Daddy. Earlier in the fall, North drew headlines with a viral finger piercing, which Kim backed up by assuring observers of adult supervision and compliance with California law. Kim’s own health made news when she revealed a minor aneurysm scare on The Kardashians after undergoing an MRI. Despite medical stress, she shared on the Graham Norton Show that she is weeks away from qualifying as a lawyer, reinforcing her serious commitment to criminal justice reform. Meanwhile, she continues starring in Hulu’s The Kardashians and Disney+ legal drama All’s Fair, though the latter has received harsh critical reviews.
