Kim Kardashian shares latest ‘Jeff Leatham II’ by KKW Fragrance
This is due to her multiple brands – KKW Beauty, KKW Fragrance and the lucrative SKIMS label – as well as her reality TV, endorsement deals and other investments.
Kim’s worth increased from $780 million October 2020 to $1 billion after she cashed in on KKW Beauty by selling 20 percent of the business to Coty for $200 million; the deal was finalized January 2021.
Kim has also filed a trademark for a skincare line SKKN in March 2021.
In August, Kim seemingly confirmed she is expanding her hugely successful Skims loungewear and intimates label into swimwear.
That same month, Kim also temporarily shut done her KKW Beauty brand for a complete re-haul, with no return date as of yet.
The underwear label, which was launched in 2019 and has been modeled by the likes of Kate Moss and Megan Fox, powered through the pandemic, with the business being worth twice as much today than it was last April.
