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?

08:32 Are you a repeat customer of hers?

08:34 Let us know in the comments below.

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.
