00:00 Kim Kardashian is officially a billionaire.
00:03 I love that.
00:04 Your favorite Kardashian sister has been slaying since her divorce with Kanye.
00:09 Kim and Kanye are splitting after six years of marriage.
00:12 I'm talking insane amounts of dough rolling through her pockets.
00:17 Since the divorce, Kim Kardashian's net worth has only increased.
00:21 And I'm talking increased like a lot, a billion lot.
00:27 Kim Kardashian has officially become a billionaire according to Forbes.
00:30 And while Kanye's has taken a significant hit.
00:33 See while Kylie Jenner used to be the richest in the Kardashian-Jenner clan,
00:38 it's no longer the case.
00:39 Kim is now the wealthiest of the Kar-gens.
00:42 I like that, Kar-gens.
00:43 With billionaire status.
00:45 I think my smartest business decision has been going for it.
00:50 But just how much is she worth exactly?
00:53 And how much do each of her many sources of revenue rake in for Kim Kardashian?
00:58 Let's find out.
00:59 Let's knock the elephant out of the room right off the bat
01:01 with her reality TV show, The Kardashians.
01:04 Life without cameras was a big change for us.
01:08 The initial start, the reasoning behind everything.
01:12 The Kardashians continue to reign supreme in the reality TV realm
01:17 with Kim pocketing a cool seven and a half million dollars per season.
01:21 The transition from Keeping Up With The Kardashians to The Kardashians
01:25 has proven that the family's allure remains intact with more seasons in the pipeline.
01:29 Keeping Up With The Kardashians concluded its very successful run in 2021.
01:34 Which marks the end of its very successful 14-year journey which spanned 20 seasons.
01:46 So as they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
01:50 And the reality TV business model for this family is the cash cow that just keeps on cashing.
01:56 Hence why Kim and the rest of her family have since moved to Hulu
01:59 to launch their new series titled The Kardashians.
02:02 So basically, it's a goldmine.
02:05 I actually picture continuous renditions of this family's reality TV show
02:10 running way into the future.
02:12 I'm talking even into the inevitable AI takeover future
02:16 in which they'll be launching their new series, The Kardashian AI-ns.
02:21 I hear Kim fights robot Khloe in the pilot.
02:24 Another and one of the biggest, biggest attributes in Kim's rise in income
02:30 is Kim's shapewear line, also known as Skims.
02:34 See, Skims isn't just a shapewear brand.
02:36 It's a financial juggernaut for Kim Kardashian.
02:40 It's valued at a whopping four billion dollars
02:43 and has skyrocketed from 500 million to over 750 million dollars in sales.
02:50 This showcases Kim's Midas touch in the fashion and lifestyle sector.
02:54 Her brand values themselves on providing a range of pieces
02:57 like body suits, shorts, bras, and briefs.
03:00 And the goal is just to give wearers a smooth and sculpted silhouette
03:04 while prioritizing their own self-comfort.
03:07 But Kim is no infant in the beauty cosmetics game either.
03:10 Her empire of skincare products under the SKKN by Kim,
03:15 that's skin as in skin?
03:17 Beauty line have pocketed her hefty, hefty chunk of change.
03:21 Skin started off as KKW Beauty before switching the name in 2021.
03:26 When she filed for divorce from Kanye West,
03:28 Kim retained full ownership of her business ventures,
03:31 including her cosmetics line.
03:33 Genius.
03:34 Which is super important because SKKN, skin,
03:37 is not only a testament to Kim's unwavering influence in the cosmetic industry,
03:42 it's a billion dollar venture.
03:44 She's a business guru.
03:45 And if the Kardashians ever do stop filming,
03:48 I'd make a bet you'd see Kim on Shark Tank one day.
03:51 Another one of Kim's extremely successful ventures
03:55 is Kim's journey into the fragrance world.
03:57 With seven cents under her belt, Kim is smelling like dough.
04:01 Kim K released several fragrances under her own name,
04:05 all to the liking of her fans who appreciate the reflection of Kim's personality.
04:09 And she doesn't just smell like roses either.
04:12 Kim is a savvy entrepreneur who knows the value of strategic partnerships.
04:16 She sold the 20% stake of her fragrance company to a third-party company
04:21 for a whopping $200 million cash.
04:24 Yeah.
04:25 Well done, Kim.
04:26 Let's talk fashion.
04:27 If there's one thing we know for sure about Kimmy K,
04:30 she's got that knack for fashion.
04:32 And she knows what she's doing.
04:34 You know, everyone has a team.
04:35 I don't care who you are, how you, you know,
04:37 but when you don't get it from someone else, that's self-made.
04:41 As I like to put it, Kim Kardashian, she's good at looking good.
04:45 When Kim collaborates with big brands, the world takes note.
04:50 Balmain, Givenchy, Balenciaga, you name it.
04:54 If it's designer, she's probably collaborated and done it.
04:57 These aren't just brands either.
04:59 They're revenue streams.
05:01 Kim's fashion collaborations are not just about style.
05:04 They're about stuffing her pockets with millions.
05:07 Perhaps they should make a dress with pockets,
05:10 but only for Kim and her huge stacks of cash.
05:13 But what good is all of this money if you don't know what to do with it though?
05:16 Right, Kim?
05:17 Well, I feel like she listened to my high school math teacher's speech about investments
05:22 because this girl knows how to invest the moolah.
05:25 Kim's real estate journey is a lesson in financial finesse.
05:28 From Beverly Grove to Bel Air,
05:30 her property portfolio is a never-ending list of strategic investments.
05:35 And for her, diversification isn't just a buzzword.
05:38 It's Kim's wealth-building philosophy.
05:40 And real estate in high-wealth neighborhoods is definitely a sufficient strategy.
05:45 Oh, my high school teacher's speech?
05:47 You're curious about that?
05:48 Okay, well, he told me, um, ooh, um,
05:52 something along the lines of, uh, spend all your money on good food,
05:56 uh, and whatever's left over, buy penny stocks.
06:00 I'm just kidding, I didn't go to high school.
06:01 Let's talk social media.
06:03 Kim's social media prowess isn't just about likes and followers.
06:08 It's a revenue-generating machine.
06:10 With a massive Instagram following, each post for Kim is critical
06:14 and can be way more of a cash cow than you'd ever think.
06:17 More like a cash herd of cows.
06:19 I don't even know if that's what you call a pack of cows.
06:21 Oh, it is!
06:22 Maybe I did go to high school.
06:24 If you want Kim K to endorse your product on Instagram,
06:27 be ready to take out a loan,
06:28 because she commands fees ranging from $300,000 to $500,000.
06:32 And with over 360 million followers on Instagram,
06:36 that's over a dollar per follower.
06:38 And based on that, I could probably charge about, what,
06:41 a thousand bucks for an endorsement?
06:42 God, I could be rich.
06:43 Let's talk P.E.
06:45 And no, not physical education.
06:47 Although Kim probably never skipped a P.E. class in her life.
06:50 I'm just rolling with it, and it is what it is.
06:53 I'm talking private equity.
06:55 Remember when I said that Kim could end up on Shark Tank one day?
06:58 Yeah, well, it might happen sooner than you think.
07:01 Kim is currently venturing into the realm of private equity with Sky Partners.
07:06 Along with her co-founder Jay Sammons,
07:08 who is a veteran himself in the private equity and venture capitalist world,
07:12 the firm is currently seeking a massive $1 billion investment in funding.
07:19 And they're also hinting at future potential earnings
07:22 ranging anywhere from $100 million back up to that $1 billion range.
07:27 That's in profit.
07:28 So basically, if you casually have, you know,
07:32 a billion or so dollars laying around in cash, call Kim.
07:36 I'm sure you'd have her phone number at that point anyways.
07:38 This brings Kim's estimated total net worth to approximately,
07:43 drumroll please, $1.7 billion.
07:47 Yeah, I almost choked saying that number.
07:50 That's up almost a billion dollars from her reported net worth of $800 million
07:55 from back in 2021 when the divorce with Kanye West went down.
07:59 So not to mention that Kanye,
08:01 although his net worth has decreased since their divorce,
08:04 is also paying his baby mama $200,000 a month in child support.
08:11 Which after quick math, comes out to about $2.4 million a year.
08:18 And obviously for Kim, that's not a lot compared to her $1.7 billion net worth.
08:23 But thanks for the change, Kanye.
08:25 So what surprised you most about Kim Kardashian's revenue streams?
08:29 Have you ever tried any of Kim Kardashian's products?

08:36 And until then, keep your head up high, stay positive.
08:39 And if you're looking to get divorced with anyone,
08:41 just try to make sure it's not Kim Kardashian.
08:45 because yeah, she'll casually make a billion dollars more than you.
