There are kardashians worth 10 million

And she is worth 900 million

Saying she isn’t self made smells of extreme butthurt and the hypocrisy is marvelous

She has managed to be worth 90 times what some of her older siblings are and yet she isn’t self made to y’all. It’s beautiful

On one hand all she did is cash in on fame and fortune that was given to her. On the other hand at least she was smart and willing enough to cash in.

If you want to get down to it, it's incredibly rare for anyone to be truly "self made." We all have advantages that are just given to us too. Granted not as much as she has, but still I know I had a lot more going for me that I didn't earn than a lot of people.

Bingo

It’s amazing how many people I see agreeing with ”privilege” and the “You didn’t build that” mindset

So she is a better version of the stay at home mom that pushes Rodan & Fields. Just like the stay at home mom, she didn't create the makeup (hell I doubt she even uses her own brand) all she did was promote and sell it to other people. The success she had with it is amazing and no one is denying that she cashed in on her fame more than her family. It's also true the company would not be a success without her but she didn't start this company in her basement and build it from the ground up.

You are right there for sure. She helped promote and build the business for sure. She also had a platform with millions of followers to help grow it. She saw what she was doing for other people and other companies by being paid to promote them, knew as soon as she tweeted or instagrammed something the sales went through the roof and decided she could partner with someone else and make the company hers. I guess it all depends on what you call a self-made person. It’s amazing the way she has been able to multiply her wealth but it wasn’t solely her is my point.

ETA: Either way it is now quitting time at work and I’m going explore uptown.

Until the sex tape, did anyone know who they were besides the father?

Go ahead...I’ll wait

I just don’t understand why all the other sex tape celebrities didn’t make it rich then

They were famous from the trial, and didn’t really get anymore famous from the sex tape

They simply jumped on the vapid social reality show scene and capitalized

Would she be worth this much if she was born a random Smith or Johnson, all other actions equal?

If no, then would you say that she was able to get here, not just by her own actions, but by those of her family as well?

Kim Kardashian was known as a friend and hangar on of Paris Hilton until the sex tape.

The oj trial didn't make the lawyer's children and ex spouses famous.

That's why OJ needs the death penalty, not because he turned his wife and her boytoy into Pez dispensers.

Besides the father, no one knew who they were before the sex tape / tv show.

Other people capitalized on it too just not to their level. I.e. Paris Hilton

Off course she had advatageges

But as a true blooded libertarian nobody should ever have to feel sorry or use a qualifier for having advantages

I still don't understand how she got fame instead of infamy from the sex tape.

But she was not main stream until that video is my point. She became famous because of the sex tape. Otherwise, she was just a socialite that goes to the red carpet events but isn’t known nationwide
