KIM KARDASHIAN, NET WORTH—$175 MILLION

Kim Kardashian is one of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. Even if one didn’t watch a single episode of her hit reality series Keeping up with the Kardashians, it’s safe to say they’ll be familiar with both the Kardashian name and brand. Although she’s not the richest Kardashian (a distinction that goes to her half-sister Kylie, who’s created a cosmetics empire), Kim is arguably the one who started it all.

Even though Kim doesn’t have a finance degree, she’s happily bringing in money from not just her show, but from endorsement deals, her clothing line, her perfume, and a host of other ventures, each of which is raking in millions a year. A bulk of her wealth is reportedly credited to her KKW Beauty line, which produces everything from lipstick and body makeup to foundation and fragrances. Even though the beauty giant Coty owns a 20% stake in the company, Kim is still the majority owner of KKW Beauty.
