Look away now Kylie! Kim Kardashian’s wealth soars as Skims now worth $5B

Kim Kardashian’s wealth has likely increased significantly thanks to her shapewear brand, Skims. The company recently raised $225 million, bringing its total value to $5 billion.

Our team and partners’ dedication has paid off, as we’ve officially become a global brand selling through all retail channels,” said the company’s founding partner and Chief Commercial Officer in a statement released Wednesday.

We’re excited to keep growing Skims by pushing boundaries and leading the way in our industry.

In 2019, Kim Kardashian launched Skims with Jens and Emma Grede, a married couple, and the brand received Amazon Fashion’s inaugural Innovation Award at the CFDA Awards in 2022.

Before her new brand launched, Kim Kardashian revealed that her ex-husband Kanye West helped with the creative direction and even designed the logo. She jokingly referred to him as her ‘Ghost Creative Director,’ and the brand was originally named ‘Kimono Intimates’.

Skims, responsible for an estimated 75% of Kim Kardashian’s net worth, has become a prominent sponsor of major basketball leagues, including the WNBA, NBA, and USA Basketball. The brand also frequently gains attention for its popular – and sometimes surprising – products, like a $48 facial sculpting wrap and a $32 thong made with faux hair.

In addition to their popular partnership with Nike on activewear, Skims currently operates 18 stores across the U.S. and two franchised locations in Mexico. The company intends to use new funding to develop new and improved products.

After Kim Kardashian’s skincare line, SKKN BY KIM, ended in June, Skims is now working on launching its own beauty products.

In 2015, while at Paris Fashion Week, CEO and co-founder Grede connected with Kris Jenner, which eventually led to several business partnerships. In 2016, she co-founded Good American with Khloé Kardashian, and in 2021, she launched Safely with Kris Jenner and Chrissy Teigen.

As a lifestyle and business observer, I’m fascinated by how people are building empires! I’ve been following reports that this British entrepreneur, at 43, has made some really smart investments. Apparently, they hold an 8% share in Skims, a significant 23% in Good American, and a 22% stake in the cleaning brand, Safely. It’s a diverse portfolio, and a testament to spotting successful brands early on.

Let’s talk about wealth and transparency. You know, I’ve seen a lot when it comes to building a brand, and it’s crucial to be honest about the numbers. A while back, Kylie Jenner, who’s built a huge empire with Kylie Cosmetics, faced some scrutiny over her company’s valuation. Initially reported as over a billion dollars, Forbes later adjusted it down to around $900 million after discovering some inconsistencies in how things were calculated. It’s a good reminder that appearances can be deceiving, and solid financial footing is built on real numbers, not inflated ones. It’s something I always advise my clients on – authenticity is key, even when it comes to your net worth!

Kim Kardashian recently learned she didn’t pass the California Bar exam, which she took in July. She needed a score of at least 1,390 out of 2,000 to pass, and unfortunately didn’t reach that threshold.

The future lawyer – who has nearly 500 million followers on social media – jokingly said in a Saturday Instagram post that she’s just pretending to be a lawyer on TV for now.

After six years of law school, I’m completely committed to passing the bar exam. I’m not looking for any easy way out, and I definitely won’t give up – I’m just going to keep studying and stay focused.

Kim Kardashian didn’t pass the ‘baby bar’ exam until her fourth attempt in 2021. She initially hoped to qualify as a lawyer by 2023, and she planned to do so without going to college or law school.

The woman, who is part Armenian and doesn’t believe the 1969 Moon landing actually happened, will retake the challenging two-day test in person on February 24th and 25th.

Kim Kardashian always wanted to be a lawyer, inspired by her father, Robert Kardashian. He was a key member of O.J. Simpson’s defense team during the highly publicized 1995 murder trial.

Known for their work advocating for criminal justice reform, the actor also plays and executive produces Allura Grant, a divorce lawyer, in a new 10-episode legal drama created by Ryan Murphy. The show, featuring an all-female law firm, streams on Hulu and Disney+ every Tuesday.

Even though critics didn’t like it, the show was watched by 3.2 million people around the world in its first three days.

Kim Kardashian both stars in and helped create the tenth season of her family’s reality show, The Kardashians, which you can watch on Hulu every Thursday.

Kim has several exciting projects on the way. She’s producing and starring in a live-action “Bratz” movie for Amazon MGM Studios, as well as producing the Hulu pilot “Group Chat” featuring La La Anthony. She’ll also be starring in a comedy called “The Fifth Wheel” directed by Eva Longoria for Netflix, and in a thriller for Amazon written by Natalie Krinsky.
