gotta give it to Kardashian. she made a sex tape and turned it into a fortune.



Her mom released it. The whole family is filthy rich due to the mom being a pimp. Add, a small portion to the OJ and dad connection. What a time to be alive.

Not self made. Her dad got rid of OJ's bloody knife and the family got a reality show.

Basically when they divorce or the husband dies, these women are designated self-made

Judith Faulkner is actually self-made. She co-founded a healthcare information systems company with the help of a physician, which just makes sense. But she didn’t just inherit the company from someone else.

didn't her daddy buy her a record label or something? that sort of helps


No idea. But even if that’s true, she turned herself into a billion dollar machine. Plenty of celebrity kids and rich kids go on to do nothing with themselves.

I mean, you don’t have to like her or her music, but hou can’t deny that she’s got something most people don’t have.
