Kim Kardashian, 42, reveals why she is so incredibly ambitious – even though she already has $1BILLION under her belt – as she lands on Fortune cover

Kim Kardashian is one of the most ambitious stars out there.

The diva, 42, has her reality TV shows Keeping Up With The Kardashians and The Kardashians to her name.

There are her businesses too: SKIMS, SKKY and SKKN that have helped make her a billionaire.

Then there are her law school studies.

But the TV star says she keeps going because of an insecurity. Turns out all those nasty naysayers have really gotten to her over the years.

‘Maybe that’s part of my drive, always feeling like people have underestimated me; maybe that’s what keeps me going,’ she shared.

The beauty made her comments to Fortune’s October/November issue which was released on Wednesday.

Dubbed one of 100 Most Powerful Women by the magazine, the 42-year-old reality TV personality showed she meant business in a power suit for the cover.

The entrepreneur is praised for turning her shapewear brand into a $4 billion company.

In her interview with the outlet, she spoke about her next new project — venture capital and opening her new private equity firm, SKKY Partners.

She is not the only celebrity to embark upon venture capital, but she explained she wants to do It differently by not just investing on a founder, writing a check, and waiting for the payoff.

Kardashian said she wants to be fully active in the entire process.

‘I wouldn’t be involved in anything if it wasn’t fully hands-on,’ she explained. ‘There’s no other way.’

Fortune also spoke to producer Scott Budnick — who partnered with Kardashian on one of her passion projects, prison reform — to confirm her dedication to her work.

‘When she sees something she really believes in, she sinks her teeth in and goes all in,’ Budnick said about the billionaire mogul.

As for how she manages such time commitment, Kardashian said it is because she has a ‘patient mindset’ and looks at the bigger picture.

‘I’m an eight-to-10-year-out-plan kind of person,’ she revealed. ‘And I think it’s really important to have that patient mindset.’

People who work closely to Kardashian corroborated and also revealed she is more professional and ‘laid-back’ in person compared to her onscreen persona.

Her colleagues in her many ventures say she speaks rather softly and slowly. They also describe her as a listener — ‘someone who first takes in all available information then leaps into action’.

Kardashian said she adopted that approach ‘after years of being on the other side of that power dynamic and feeling like she wasn’t heard’.

And now, she is taking that into her newest venture as well as she partners with former Burberry CEO and Apple SVP Angela Ahrendts as the senior operating advisor of SKKY Partners.

In the interview, Kardashian divulged into her ‘ideal portfolio company’ and said it will have an active founder who puts their ‘heart and soul’ into the company.

‘I want to hear their vision,’ she said. ‘I want to hear their dreams.’

She also noted it’s important to have the ‘magic sauce’ and ‘authenticity’.

‘It’s not like they’re going to start working with my fund and all of a sudden their whole brand is nude and beige, like a Kim-branded company,’ she said.

As for how she has made it this far despite dealing with people doubting her ability, she said it’s her drive to cement her legacy.

‘Maybe that’s part of my drive, always feeling like people have underestimated me,’ she said. ‘Maybe that’s what keeps me going.’
