Kim Kardashian might be a reality TV star, but she is, to her credit, also a pioneering business woman.
The 41-year-old SKIMS founder and aspiring lawyer, who has a net worth of $1 billion (£764 million) and earned herself a place on Forbes’ World’s Billionaires List, has accumulated wealth from a series of lucrative enterprises, including KKW Beauty, which she launched in 2017.
Kardashian sold 20% of KKW Beauty to cosmetics conglomerate Coty (which also bought 51% of sister Kylie Jenner's brand Kylie Cosmetics in 2020) for $200 million.

Besides this, she owns a majority stake in shapewear line SKIMS, and has also acquired a sizeable fortune from reality television, endorsement deals and numerous smaller investments.
So you might think that the mum-of-four would have some pretty enlightening advice for other women hoping to make bank for their endeavours. Unfortunately, a piece of advice that she gave to 'women in business' has ruffled a lot of feathers, with many calling it 'tone deaf' or just plain unhelpful.
Kardashian - who once hit back at critics of her success by saying: 'Not bad for a girl with no talent,' while at a Forbes summit - boldly stated during her latest interview with Variety: 'I have the best advice for women in business: Get your f*cking ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.'
Now, myriad people have taken to social media to air their thoughts on how (un)helpful they consider that statement to be.
