When did Kim Kardashian become a billionaire?

Kim officially reached billionaire status back in April 2021.

Forbes released a statement saying: “When Kim Kardashian West was first mentioned in the pages of Forbes in 2011, it was simply a tally of her Twitter followers: 6.6 million, just below Barack Obama and just above Ashton Kutcher.

“Five years later, she graced the cover of Forbes thanks to her booming mobile game, which helped her earn $51 million that year. Now, she officially joins the World’s Billionaires list for the first time.”

Kim blasted past the billionaire pound target after she sold 20 per cent of her KKW Beauty brand to cosmetics conglomerate, Coty.

The deal was worth a reported $200million.

How did Kim Kardashian get famous?

Kim was in the public eye from the moment she was born as her father is the famed OJ Simpson attorney – Robert Kardashian.

She grew up in Los Angeles and had a huge number of famous pals.

But she became a household name when the infamous 2002 sex tape was leaked with her then-boyfriend, Ray J.

Shortly after, Kim would start to appear on the iconic Keeping Up With the Kardashians show.

Featuring the whole Kardashian clan, the show went on to be a major driving factor into Kim’s rise in popularity.

Her fame increased even more in 2012 when she started dating famous rapper Kanye West.

The pair tied the knot after just two years of dating and went on to share four children together before they ultimately split.

What did Kanye West say about Kim’s billionaire status?

Kim’s former rapper husband took to X to congratulate his ex-wife on her impressive bank balance back in June 2020.

He said: “I am so proud of my beautiful wife Kim Kardashian West for officially becoming a billionaire.

“You’ve weathered the craziest storms and now God is shining on you and our family. So blessed this is still life. So I made you this still life. We love you so much.”

Kanye’s net worth only sits at $400m.

Kardashian reportedly paid $23million to keep hold of their Axel Vervoordt-designed Hidden Hills mansion all for herself.

Kim has since moved on from Kanye and was recently dating NFL star Odell Beckham Jr.

But the pair called it quits after dating for just six months.

A source told Dailymail UK the pair is “not seeing each other anymore right now”.
