Kim Kardashian

Kimberly Noel Kardashian (born October 21, 1980) is an American media personality, socialite, and businesswoman. She first gained media attention in 2007 following the unauthorized release of a sex tape with American singer Ray J. Afterwards, she and her family began to appear on the E! reality television series ''Keeping Up with the Kardashians''. The show aired until 2021, and its success led to the formation of several spin-offs and a successor show, Hulu's ''The Kardashians'' (2022–present).

Kardashian founded KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance in 2017, both of which operated until 2022; the former was valued at over US$1 billion in 2021. She founded the shaping underwear and foundation garment company Skims in 2019, which is valued at over US$4 billion . Kardashian founded her skincare line, SKKN by Kim, in 2022. She has released a variety of products tied to her name, including the 2014 mobile game ''Kim Kardashian: Hollywood'', the 2015 photo book ''Selfish'', and the 2015 emoji app Kimoji. Her acting credits include the films ''Disaster Movie'' (2008), ''Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor'' (2013), two ''PAW Patrol'' films (2021 and 2023), the twelfth season of the anthology horror series ''American Horror Story'' (2023–2024), and the legal drama series ''All's Fair'' (2025–present).

''Time'' magazine included Kardashian on their list of 2015's 100 most influential people. She was named among ''Fortune'' magazine's Most Powerful Women in the world in 2023. With a significant presence online and a large following across numerous social media platforms, she is the eighth-most-followed individual on Instagram and the thirteenth-most-followed individual on Twitter. Both critics and admirers have described Kardashian as exemplifying the notion of being famous for being famous. She became a billionaire in 2021, and is estimated by ''Forbes'' to be worth US$1.7 billion . Kardashian has become more politically active by lobbying for prison reform and clemency, and, in 2025, completed a four-year law apprenticeship that allows her to sit for the California Bar Exam, which she did not pass.
