Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner lead the way as their family are named top-earning reality stars
The Kardashian-Jenner clan officially earned more – $122.5M (before taxes) – between June 2015-June 2016 than any other reality TV stars.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashian stars nabbed six of the seven all-female spots on Forbes’ first-ever list of docu-series multi-millionaires (excluding compeтιтions).
Kim Kardashian West scored the No. 1 spot with $51M, thanks mostly to her combined 165.6M social media followers eager to buy whatever she endorses for $200K paydays on Instagram.
However, the ‘shaken yet unharmed’ 36-year-old has been uncharacteristically reclusive following her armed robbery at the Hôtel de Pourtalès in Paris.
The Selfish author has certainly come a long way since her infamous 2007 Sєx tape, easily out-earning her husband Kanye West’s $17.5M this past year.
Surprisingly, 40 percent of Kim’s income came from her mobile Game Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, and she splits her Kimoji revenue with app developer Whalerock.
‘It’s funny when people are like, “What does she really do?”‘ the Calabasas socialite told Forbes in June.
I know reality TV isn’t respected the way that I believe it should be, but it’s changing. People get that it is a job.’
Kardashian’s 19-year-old half-sister Kylie Jenner came in second with an impressive $18M, thanks to her 2016 cosmetics start-up bringing in nine figures.
Kendall Jenner ranked third place with $17M for her lucrative Society Management modeling gigs for Victoria’s Secret, La Perla, and Calvin Klein Underwear.
Further down the list were Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, and Khloé Kardashian – who raked in $11.5M, $10M, and $15M, respectively.
Meanwhile, Caitlyn Jenner, Rob Kardashian, and his fiancée Blac Chyna didn’t even qualify for the list’s stringent multi-million dollar minimum gross.
The Real Housewives of New York City’s Bethenny Frankel was the only woman on the list not related to the Kardashians, thanks to her $8.5M Skinnygirl cocktail profits.
