Kim Kardashian's Net Worth Increases By $600m

Kim Kardashian has seen her net worth increase by a whopping $600 million (£447m). 

The 41-year-old reality star is now worth an estimated $1.8 billion (£1.3bn), according to Forbes. 

In April last year, Forbes put her net worth at $1 billion (£746bn), up from $780 million (£582m) in October 2020.

Her financial good fortune comes off the back of the success of her shapewear brand SKIMS.

The company recently doubled its value meaning it's now worth $3.2 billion (£2.4bn) following a new round of fundraising.

In April last year it was valued at $1.6 billion (£1.2bn).

Kardashian owns a 35 percent stake in the company, which Forbes say is worth about $900 million (£671m) - lend us a tenner, mate. 

Alongside SKIMS, Kardashian also has her KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance ranges and her TV career and endorsement deals. 

Last year, Kardashian announced she and Kanye West were divorcing and in December it was revealed the rapper had bought a house across the street from where she lives. Awkward. 

West, 44, bought the $4.5 million (£3.3m) single-storey house in California’s Hidden Hills and reportedly forked out $421,000 (£314,000) over the asking price to land it. 

Built in 1955, the home boasts four bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and an acre of land.

After the news broke, West was quick to clear up the situation and said he’d bought the property so he would be near his children - he and his ex share four children, North, Saint, Psalm and Chicago. 

Speaking to Hollywood Unlocked he simply said ‘nothing’ would keep him from seeing his kids.

“My solace comes from seeing my kids and getting a solid schedule. That’s why I even got the house,” he said. 

“[It was] flipped into there was something wrong with me getting a house next to my kids.” 

West added: “Nothing with my career, with this rap, with this media, with none of that, that’s gonna keep me from my children. And that’s what I want everybody to know. 

“Don’t play with me, don’t play with my children. Ain’t no security gonna get in between me and my children and you ain’t gonna gaslight me.”
