For example, between June 2018 and June 2019, Kim earned $72 million from her various endeavors and then between June 2019 and June 2020 she earned $50 million. For a time, a large portion of Kim’s annual earnings came thanks licensing and endorsement deals. For example, she earned a small fortune from royalties generated by the mobile game “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood”. The game was eventually downloaded more than 60 million times and generated $200 million in revenue. Kim keeps 28% of the money generated by the app to this day. Outside of the mobile app, Kim’s annual earnings come from endorsements, appearance fees, reality TV salary and paid Instagram sponsorships.

In June 2020 Kim sold a 20% stake in KKW Beauty Line for $200 million, valuing the company as a whole at $1 billion. As a result of the fundraising round, Kim’s net worth increased to $900 million according to CNW’s estimates.

In 2019 she raised $5 million from Venture Capital firm Imaginary Ventures to launch a line of shapewear called Skims. In 2021 Skims raised $154 million at a valuation of $1.6 billion. Even after the massive financing round, Kim remained the majority owner.

Today the property covers three acres and features two swimming pools, two spas, a private vineyard, full-sized basketball court and a custom-built mansion. In 2018 they had to evacuate when wildfire came uncomfortably close to their property.
