Kim Kardashian has an estimated net worth of $1.9 billion, according to Forbes, The World's Celebrity Billionaires 2026 (figures as of March 1, 2026). That is up from $780 million in Oct 2020.
Kim Kardashian became a household name through reality TV, but her fortune comes from what she built with that audience. Her first big win was KKW Beauty, a stake she sold to Coty in 2020.
The real jackpot is Skims. The shapewear and clothing brand was valued at $5 billion in a 2025 funding round, according to Forbes, and her stake in it is the main reason she is a billionaire.
How Kim Kardashian made her money
Reality TV gave Kim Kardashian a huge audience, and she turned that audience into customers. Her first major company was KKW Beauty. In 2020 she sold 20% of it to cosmetics group Coty for $200 million, a deal that valued the brand at $1 billion, and the company was later shut down.
Skims is the real engine of her wealth. The shapewear and clothing brand launched in 2019 and grew fast. Forbes says investors valued it at $4 billion in 2023 and at $5 billion in its most recent funding round in 2025. She also earns money from TV and endorsement deals.
Her climb on the Forbes list
Forbes estimated her net worth at $780 million in October 2020. Six months later, in April 2021, it said she had become a billionaire, thanks largely to KKW Beauty and Skims. Since then her estimate has risen with Skims: $1.7 billion in 2024 and 2025, then $1.9 billion in 2026. That puts her eighth on Forbes' 2026 list of celebrity billionaires, ahead of many movie stars and athletes who were famous long before her.
Her path is now a model for other celebrities. Instead of only promoting other companies' products, she used her fame to launch her own brands and kept a large ownership stake. When Skims raised money at higher and higher valuations, her personal fortune rose with it, even though she never sold the company. That is the main difference between being well paid and being a billionaire.
