Kimberly Noel Kardashian (born October 21, 1980) is an American media personality, socialite, entrepreneur, model and television figure who became one of the most recognizable celebrities of the 21st century. She first rose to widespread fame in 2007 after a private video from her past was leaked, an event that unexpectedly propelled her into the public eye and helped launch her family’s reality TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which became a major international success and ran for over a decade. 

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Kardashian grew up amidst Hollywood culture and initially worked in style and social circles, including as an assistant to Paris Hilton before finding her own spotlight. Alongside her sisters, she co‑founded the boutique DASH, which marked her early steps into business. Her high‑profile personal life and influential presence on social media turned her into a global cultural icon. 

Beyond reality TV fame, Kim has built a vast business empire: she launched successful beauty and fragrance brands such as KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance, and in 2019 founded the shapewear and apparel company Skims, which grew into a multibillion‑dollar brand. She also released products like the mobile game Kim Kardashian: Hollywood and the emoji app Kimoji. 

Kardashian has starred in various television projects and had roles in films, further cementing her media career. She is known for her massive social media following, widespread influence on fashion and beauty standards, and a savvy ability to turn personal branding into business success. Forbes estimated her net worth in the billions, reflecting her impact as a modern entrepreneur. 

In recent years Kim has also pursued criminal justice reform and has studied law through California’s apprenticeship program, aiming to take the bar exam. This shift highlights her evolving interests beyond entertainment and fashion.
