If you haven’t heard of Kim Kardashian you have possibly been living under a ginormous rock in the middle of the Simpson Desert for the past six years.
The reality star turned entrepreneur, turned fashion designer, turned author and now soon to be mum is literally everywhere – on the back of buses, on the cover of magazines, in department stores and on the television.
You could say that the 32-year-old has made a name for herself in more ways than one.
Although we haven’t yet grasped why she is famous, (we didn’t even get it after Mamamia’s editor, Jamila interviewed her) it has to be said that we secretly enjoy being able to get a daily dose of Kim’s life.
From that sex tape made with rapper Ray J, to the flour- bombing incident and of course the blink and you’ll miss it 72-day marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries, Kim has shared her highs and lows with the world via her hit reality TV show Keeping up with the Kardashians.
She’s even tried her hand at singing, take a look at the video below.
While she may be known for putting her foot in it occasionally, yes we are referring to that time when she compared her marriage with Kris Humphries to a fan’s battle with cancer, we have to give Kim kredit for kreating a multi-million dollar empire from scratch.
Her deals with Quick Trim and Midori, as well as her own jewellery line, perfume, and fashion label with her sisters has helped place her as number seven on Forbes 100 most influential celebrities and made her worth a reported US$40 million dollars.
After two failed marriages, Kim has finally found happiness with controversial rapper Kanye West. The couple not only share a love of fashion, but also their child, baby girl North ‘Nori’ West, who Kim gave birth to on the 15th of June 2013. This makes us certain that baby Kimye will be the best dressed kid in the krib (and on the block).
Being the business savvy lady that she is, Kim has already jumped on the ‘Mummy blogger’ bandwagon – and knowing her, it too will be a huge success.
