Another bulk of Kim’s wealth came thanks to her KKW Beauty company.
In 2019, the Product line raked in $100 million and she gained $200 million by selling a 20 percent stake in the company to Coty, the same company that bought her sister Kylie’s brand.
Her Skims shapewear launched in 2019 and has now become the mother-of-four’s biggest revenue generator.
In 2020, it was valued at a ‘conservative $225 million’ and that was the number Forbes used to value Kimat over $1 billion for the first time.
Elsewhere, the aspiring lawyer has started a private equity firm, called SKKY Partners, while she also earn up to $1 million for a paid Instagram post.
