Kim Kardashian BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. In the past few days Kim Kardashian has dominated headlines primarily due to a major business milestone as her shapewear and apparel brand Skims reached a stunning five billion dollar valuation. According to the Los Angeles Business Journal and Fortune Goldman Sachs Alternatives led a two hundred twenty-five million dollar funding round one of the largest U S consumer brand raises this year bringing Skims’ total valuation up from four billion in 2023. Kim stated this validates the hard work of the team and marks the beginning of Skims’ next growth phase. The company expects to exceed one billion dollars in sales for 2025 and has announced significant expansion plans including more physical retail locations across the United States and internationally as well as broader product innovation. The business news was further amplified by The Business Journals which reported that the company is positioning itself to become predominantly physical over the next few years aiming for a global omnichannel presence. Kim herself bought back a twenty percent stake in Skims’ beauty brand, Skkn, from Coty earlier this year consolidating more of her lifestyle and beauty operations under her control. On the public and social media front much buzz has surrounded Kim’s daughter North West who became the face of Skims’ limited-edition holiday campaign. North made headlines appearing in ads wearing blue extensions and modeling the new line. Controversy erupted online particularly on TikTok and other platforms over North’s age twelve when she sported a microdermal finger piercing. According to BollywoodShaadis North and Kim responded directly from their joint TikTok, brushing off criticism with a brief “It’s okay” message and a love-hand emoji signaling they remain unfazed by social media backlash. In addition Kim was seen at the Met Gala 2025 where she told press, channeling the late Joan Rivers, that her daughter North is a tough critic famed for giving blunt reviews on celebrity fashion including Kim’s own all-pearl outfit which North labeled a “dollar store” look. Kim described her daughter as the new Joan Rivers in her penchant for sharp fashion critiques and playful roasting—noting even she occasionally gets stung by North’s commentary. There have been no confirmed reports of major new legal disputes, romantic developments, or reality TV shakeups for Kim in the last several days. Most coverage and public appearances have centered around Skims’ billion-dollar success North’s bold public persona and the family’s ongoing command of social media conversation. The long-term significance of this moment hinges on Skims’ emergence as one of the world’s leading consumer brands while Kim reinforces her image as both celebrity and business mogul.
