Now Kim, 42, has faced backlash for hitting a flooring $1.2billion net worth this year according to Forbes.
The reality star was recognized as number 2,259 on the publication’s billionaire list due to her massive success with her Skims company valued at $3.2billion.
FAN BACKLASH
Despite her wealth being down from $1.9billion last year, fans are still appalled by her incomprehensible amount of money and recently took to Reddit to discuss the situation.
“It’s nauseating that she’s worth that much,” one admitted.
“Skims is so overvalued right now,” a second agreed.
A third speculated: “There’s also no way that Kim is a billionaire. This is all smoke and mirrors!”
“The Forbes list is a platform for scammers and grifters. Obviously, Kim fits right in. With that said, take her billionaire status with a grain of salt,” a fourth trolled.
“Not surprising she’s filthy rich and still doing lame s**t for even more money,” a fifth complained.
“Smoke and Mirrors. If Kim was truly a billionaire, why is she hocking toothpaste on Instagram and plotting to launch product lines under her 9yo Daughter’s name?” a final asserted.
FORBES LIST
Kim’s name was among the world’s billionaires, though her ex-husband Kanye West and younger sister Kylie Jenner fell short.
The Donda rapper, 45, lost significant income after Adidas cut ties with him last year over the anti-Semitic comments he made online.
Just last year, he ranked the 1,513 richest person, with a large part of his earnings coming from his Yeezy brand with the company.
Kanye now rakes in less than $1billion, bumping him off the list completely.
As for Kylie, she hasn’t been on Forbes’ list in the last few years, despite being declared the “youngest self-made billionaire” by the publication in 2020.
The success of the 25-year-old’s beauty brand, Kylie Cosmetics, put her on top for a while, but not for long, as she was booted from the list in 2021.
Last year, Kylie’s “youngest self-made billionaire” status was replaced by Rihanna, 35, with her net worth at the time being $1.4billion.
Forbes also reported that Kylie’s paychecks were not as high as she claimed.
Kim’s solidified billionaire status came amid major fan backlash for her social media behavior.
Many have slammed the mother of four for flaunting her wealth online to her millions of followers despite world poverty reaching an all-time high.
BRAGGING RIGHTS
Wednesday, the mogul took to her Instagram Stories to document a series of expensive gifted items she received for free from luxury brands.
The reality star snapped photos of Shea Butter Peptides from Hailey Bieber’s Rhode beauty product line.
She received a second round of peptide cream from Shani Darden and colorful hand soaps from Safely.
The company Ace Ace Baby sent their newest fragrance, and Tommy Hilfiger sent his new Aries line of jeans and undergarments.
Kim flashed makeup from Simihaze Beauty and a new outfit from Adidas.
She flaunted candles and perfumes from Diptyque and closed out her major haul with a brand-new mini bag from Louis Vuitton.
The tiny $2,500 purse was covered in colorful pumpkins to celebrate the brand’s newest collection.
