Reality TV star and businesswoman Kim Kardashian is celebrating her 46th birthday. Forbes estimates her net worth at approximately $1.9 billion, a fortune built through television, high-profile relationships, and a significant business transformation.

Born in Los Angeles in 1980, Kardashian's personal life has long been a source of media attention. She was married to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004. A major turning point came in 2007 with the premiere of the family's reality show, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," which propelled her and her family to global fame.

Her subsequent marriages also garnered significant media coverage. She married basketball player Kris Humphries in 2011, divorcing after only 72 days. Her marriage to rapper Kanye West, with whom she has four children born between 2013 and 2019, ended in divorce finalized in 2022.

Before launching SKIMS, Kardashian had success with makeup and fragrance brands, selling a 20% stake in KKW Beauty to Coty in 2021. This demonstrated her ability to leverage reality TV exposure into a customer base and attract investors.

In 2019, she founded SKIMS, a shapewear and loungewear brand that rapidly grew into an international business. In November 2025, the company raised $225 million at a $5 billion valuation. Forbes attributes the majority of Kardashian's wealth to her stake in SKIMS, with additional earnings from television, commercial partnerships, and beauty ventures. SKIMS has expanded to physical stores and international markets, with products launched on Israel's Factory 54 website in November 2025.

As she approaches her birthday, Kardashian shared photos from a vacation in the Philippines. Her personal brand has become a significant economic engine, transforming public attention into a continuously growing business, while maintaining a social media following of hundreds of millions.
