Kim Kardashian has built a diverse career as an entrepreneur, social media influencer, model, aspiring lawyer, and television personality. She gained wide recognition on the popular E! television series, Keeping Up With The Kardashians (KUWTK), which she starred in alongside her sisters, Kourtney, Khloé, Kendall, Kylie, and their mother, Kris Jenner.
Born on October 21, 1980, to Kris Jenner and attorney Robert Kardashian, Kim Kardashian was raised in Los Angeles, California. Her father’s involvement in the O.J. Simpson murder trial brought attention to the family. Kardashian’s rise to fame began in 2007 when her sex tape with Ray J, titled Kim Kardashian, Superstar, surfaced online. That same year marked the debut of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which aired for 20 seasons.
The Kardashian family now features on The Kardashians on Hulu, described as an enhanced version of the original series. Kim’s business ventures include KKW Beauty, KKW Fragrance, Skims, and the clothing chain, Dash.
Apart from her businesses, Kim is pursuing law and seeks to follow in her father’s footsteps. She is focused on advocating for prisoners she believes are wrongfully accused with aspirations of establishing her own law firm.
On social media, particularly Instagram, Kardashian frequently shares pictures of her family, sisters, celebrity friends, and fashion choices. Known as a style icon, she has appeared at the Met Gala in outfits that have generated much attention, such as Marilyn Monroe’s dress and an all-black leather ensemble that enveloped her entire body.
Her personal life includes several marriages. She was wed to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004 and to NBA player Kris Humphries from 2011 to 2013. In February 2021, she filed for divorce from rapper Kanye West after marrying in 2014. They have four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. Kim has recently been associated with comedian and actor Pete Davidson.
