Kim Kardashian West Is Officially A Billionaire, Now Worth $1bAmerican socialite, Kim Kardashian West has officially earned herself a spot on Forbes’ World’s Billionaires List as she is now worth $1 billion.

The reality TV star and model has now followed in the footsteps of her younger sister Kylie and estranged husband Kanye West

According to Forbes’ report, the 40-year-old reality TV star is 2674th on the list of Forbes Billionaires which is the largest it has ever been.

Despite the global pandemic wreaking havoc on lower-earning classes, billionaires fared better than ever over the last 12 months.

She has a $225million stake in Skims and in January last year, sold 20 percent of KKW Beauty to Coty, a beauty company for $200million.

Kim’s career began as a socialite and celebrity stylist before she and her family became reality TV stars thanks in part to a sex tape she made with the rapper, Ray J.

She and the rest of the family have since capitalized on the fame to build a behemoth brand.

Kim is the third person in her family to earn billionaire status. Kylie Jenner, her 23-year-old half-sister, was the first in 2018 when, aged 21, she was named the youngest self-made billionaire in history. She earned her fortune through her own make-up empire, Kylie Cosmetics, which she promoted entirely on social media.
