Kim Kardashian rakes in millions from her business ventures Skkn and Skims, while Kylie Jenner was named the world’s youngest self-made billionaire in 2019 – but is she still?
Reality TV show The Kardashians earns Kris Jenner between US$8.3 million and US$12.5 million per season, with the family matriarch also continuing to take 10% of all her daughters’ earnings
It’s been another busy year for the Kardashians and Jenners. Besides their many business ventures, brand endorsements and red carpet appearances, the fourth season of the family’s revamped reality show, The Kardashians, is currently in full swing on streaming site Hulu.
This year has seen the net worths of members of the Kardashian-Jenner family reach new heights, with their combined net worth reportedly creeping towards the US$3 billion mark.
Here’s how the fortunes of the ‘first family of reality TV’ compare in 2023, according to Forbes and Celebrity Net Worth.
10. Rob Kardashian, 36
Estimated net worth: US$10 million

According to court documents in their custody battle, Rob’s income dropped from over US$100,000 a month to under US$10,000 after he quit television. Since then, he’s kept a low profile, happily living with what he’s got. While he might not be hustling as hard as his sisters, US$10 million is still nothing to sneeze at.
9. Corey Gamble, 43
Estimated net worth: US$15 million

Gamble, a talent manager in the music industry, was working as Justin Bieber’s tour manager when he met Kris. He’s accumulated an impressive net fortune of his own over the years, with an estimated net worth of US$15 million.
8. Caitlyn Jenner, 74
Estimated net worth: US$25 million

While the trans icon’s relationship with the Kardashians has suffered in recent years, her bank balance has remained strong, giving her an estimated net worth of US$25 million.
7. Travis Barker, 48
Estimated net worth: US$50 million

This year, the band embarked on an expansive world tour – a schedule that includes 93 shows and continues past the middle of 2024.
6. Khloé Kardashian, 39
Estimated net worth: US$60 million

But if her bank balance is anything to go by, Khloé’s work-from-home policy is paying off. Besides appearing on the family reality show and collaborating with the likes of Fabletics, Khloé is also a co-founder of Good American – an inclusive fashion brand with all female body shapes in mind.
5. Kendall Jenner, 28
Estimated net worth: US$60 million

But as a long-time reality star who also earns millions per season, she’s a lot wealthier than most models in the business. In 2017, Forbes listed her as the top-earning model in the world, and she’s remained in demand since.
Most recently she’s fronted campaigns for Gucci, Calvin Klein and Stella McCartney, and walked the runway for brands like Victoria Beckham and Schiaparelli. She’s also a budding businesswoman with her own tequila brand, 818.
4. Kourtney Kardashian, 44
Estimated net worth: US$65 million

Besides celebrating her first year of marriage to Travis Barker and announcing her pregnancy, business has been going well. Alongside her reality TV income, Kourtney launched lifestyle website Poosh in 2019. The brand currently has almost 5 million followers on Instagram and has since expanded to have its own brick and mortar store. Last year, Kourtney developed a vitamin and supplement line called Lemme, which currently sells a variety of gummy vitamins.
3. Kris Jenner, 68
Estimated net worth: US$170 million

Add the 10 per cent management cut she gets from each of her daughters’ earnings, and it’s no surprise that Kris is worth an impressive US$170 million. As the family matriarch heads for 70, she shows no signs of slowing down any time soon either.
2. Kylie Jenner, 26
Estimated net worth: US$680 million

On paper, Kylie’s net worth may have declined, but she’s still laughing all the way to the bank. She was famously declared the world’s youngest self-made billionaire by Forbes in 2019, when her company Kylie Cosmetics was valued at US$1.2 billion.
Later that year, Kylie sold 51 per cent of her company to Coty Inc. In the months following the mega deal, the company’s value declined drastically. Kylie earned around US$340 million from the sale, but the value of her remaining stake has dropped significantly since then. Kylie has since spent a large chunk of her new fortune buying multiple mansions and her private jet, Kylie Air.
1. Kim Kardashian, 43
Estimated net worth: US$1.7 billion

As a savvy businesswoman, she’s always had her fingers in plenty of pies, even dabbling in acting on the latest American Horror Story. But it’s beauty brand Skkn by Kim and shapewear brand Skims that have made her immensely rich. Not only is she by far the wealthiest member of the family, she’s also listed as the 1,700th richest person in the world, per Forbes. Not bad for the girl who started her career organising Paris Hilton’s wardrobe.
