How Kim Kardashian grew from personal assistant to Billionaire

Kim Kardashian, also known as Kimberly Noel Kardashian, is an American media personality who has gained significant success and popularity in the entertainment industry.

After graduating high school in 1998, Kardashian worked as a personal assistant to Paris Hilton, a well-known hotel heiress and socialite.

In 2006, Kardashian entered the business world with her sisters and opened a boutique store called D-A-S-H in Calabasas, California.

In 2007, a s* tape featuring Kardashian and Ray J was leaked, leading Kardashian to file a lawsuit against Vivid Entertainment, the company that released the film.

However, she eventually dropped the suit and accepted a settlement of $5 million. The release of the tape was viewed by some as a publicity stunt for the upcoming reality show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” which premiered on E! in October 2007.

The show featured Kardashian and her family members and was a hit, leading to the creation of spin-off shows such as “Kourtney and Kim Take New York” and “Kourtney and Kim Take Miami.”

In one episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” Kardashian discussed an offer from Playboy to appear nude in the magazine.

Later that same year, Kardashian posed for a nude photoshoot for Playboy.

In 2008, she made her feature film debut in the disaster film spoof “Disaster Movie,” in which she played the character Lisa.

She was also a participant on season seven of “Dancing with the Stars,” where she was paired with Mark Ballas. Kardashian was the third contestant to be eliminated.

In 2009, Kardashian made guest appearances on several television shows, including “How I Met Your Mother” and “CSI: NY.”

She also released a workout DVD series through her television production company, Kimsaprincess Productions, which included three successful workout videos.

Kardashian also played the character Elle in several episodes of the television series “Beyond the Break.”

In addition to these appearances, Kardashian was a guest host of WrestleMania XXIV and a guest judge on “America’s Next Top Model.”

In 2010, Kardashian endorsed various food products for Carl’s Jr. and made guest appearances on the show “90210” with her sisters Khloé and Kourtney.

A wax figure of Kardashian was also unveiled at the New York City branch of Madame Tussauds that year. In 2011, she released her third fragrance, “Gold,” and in 2012, she released her fourth fragrance, “True Reflection.”

The same year, E! renewed “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” for two additional seasons, in a deal reportedly worth $50 million.

In 2013, Kardashian released a mobile app called “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood,” which became a major success and helped to further increase her wealth.

She also launched a number of successful beauty and fashion brands, including KKW Beauty and SKIMS.

It was reported that Kardashian was paid between $75,000 and $300,000 for each post in 2016 in which she endorsed products such as beauty products, waist trainers, teeth whiteners, Coca-Cola, and charities.

Experts believe that celebrities often present fake glimpses into their lives to make their advertising pitches more appealing and believable, although these moments are often staged.

In 2018, Business Insider reported that Kardashian was charging $720,000 per Instagram post.

Despite data indicating that her posts may be worth slightly less, Kardashian’s regular media appearances allow her to demand a higher price for her sponsored posts on Instagram.

In addition to her social media presence, Kardashian has released a variety of products under her name, including a mobile game called “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood,” clothing and other products, a photo book called “Selfish,” and a personal app.

She has also received significant media coverage for her relationship with rapper Kanye West, whom she married in 2014 and with whom she has four children.

Kardashian has also appeared in several films, including “Disaster Movie,” “Deep in the Valley,” and “Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor.”

In addition to her business ventures, Kardashian has also become known for her philanthropic work, including supporting criminal justice reform and advocating for mental health awareness.

Kardashian has continued to thrive in the entertainment industry and has built a loyal fan base.

She has been recognized with several awards and accolades, including being named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2018.

Kardashian’s growth from being a personal assistant to a successful businesswoman is truly impressive, and she shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
