The model and businesswoman revealed that she doesn’t know how she and the rest of the Kardashians managed to get so far in the entertainment industry.
During the season finale of The Kardashians , the family of socialites celebrated the birthday party of Scott Disick , model and actor with whom Kourtney Kardashian had three children: Mason, Penelope and Reign.
Despite their separation in 2016, Scott remains very close to the Kardashians, in fact, the matriarch of the family, Kris Jenner, recalled that the actor has been with them since episode 1 of Keeping Up with The Kardashians , despite that Disick considered that reality show “wasn’t going anywhere.”
Kim Kardashian, who was ready to make a toast, assured that she had known Disick since she was 19 years old and he has been a great support for her throughout all this time. The actor laughingly reminded Kim of the dog magazine in which she was the cover in 2016: K9 , to which Kim responded by assuring that at that time she would have done anything to be on the cover of a magazine, even though she was not he liked dogs.

It was at this point where the family began to reflect on the things they did to become some of the most powerful people on the planet. “ Guys, we’ve scammed the system. We did it! Whatever it was, we figured it out and did it! We work hard ,” Kim declared before the reality cameras.
Later, in a confessional interview, Kim reiterated how important Scott is in her life to this day, in addition to confessing that the fame and fortune that the Kardashian family has amassed may not have been entirely legitimate.
“Scott is my motivator. He always says to me, ‘God, can you believe you did it? And I tell him: ‘I can’t, this is crazy’… We’re not supposed to be here, how did we get to this BEAUTIFUL party? We weren’t the cool kids, how did we do it?”

However, the great ambition of Kim and company, in addition to the exclusive social circles they entered from a very young age, predicted a bright future for the Kardashians. This was confessed by Kim in an interview with Vogue Arabia in 2019.
“ Money was always the goal, but I was obsessed with fame, like, embarrassingly obsessed .” I agree that fame can be addictive. But now, my focus has changed.”
And although today the Kardashians are among the favorite people of high fashion brands, jewelry, television networks and more, the path to success was not so simple, in fact, the first step was quite embarrassing. It all started in 2007, when an unknown Kim Kardashian revealed to her mother that an intimate video of her with her then partner, R&B singer Ray-J, had been leaked . Kim’s name began to resonate due to this scandalous video, but instead of hiding under the bed in shame, Kris decided to exploit this moment, and, as she herself has confessed, turned these 15 minutes of fame into 30.

While the video company Vivid was marketing Kim’s 𝑠e𝑥 tape, Kris was already negotiating with E! the launch of the reality show Keeping Up with The Kardashians , and when the profits reached the family’s pockets, a lawsuit against Vivid began in which an agreement was reached that Kim would receive part of the royalties from her 𝑠e𝑥 tape.
