Officially, Kim Kardashian is a billionaire
Forbes magazine included Kardashian in the list of the richest people in the world.
Kim Kardashian, 40, has just been included in the 'Forbes' list of the richest people in the world. Her fortune comes from her family's successful reality show, from the many products she sells, and from other sources. She knows what position the American occupies.
To be on the list of billionaires of 'Forbes', it is necessary to exceed the mark of one billion dollars net in her fortune. In October 2020, Kim Kardashian had 780 million dollars, according to the specialized finance and business magazine.
'Forbes' says that the figure changed thanks to two of her most recent businesses: KKW Beauty, which is her cosmetics company launched in 2017, and Skims, dedicated to the sale of girdles.
The rest of her income corresponds to her participation in her family's "reality show", endorsement contracts and a series of smaller investments, according to "Forbes".
In the announcement about Kardashian's inclusion in the list, 'Forbes' mentioned the previous occasions in which her name had appeared in the pages of the magazine.
The first time was in 2011. At the time, 'Forbes' highlighted that Kardashian had 6.6 million followers on Twitter, which was slightly less than Barack Obama, the president of the United States at the time.
Five years later, in July 2016, she landed on the cover of 'Forbes' because her mobile game earned her $51 million that year.

Right after, she tweeted '#NotBadForAGirlWithNoTalent', which translates to "Not bad for a girl with no talent." This, in response to the criticism that she has received throughout her famous life.
