Kim Kardashian

Kimberly Noel Kardashian (born October 21, 1980) is an American media personality, socialite, businesswoman, and actress. She initially gained media attention as a friend and stylist of Paris Hilton but received wider recognition after a 2007 sex tape featuring her and then-boyfriend Ray J was leaked. Later that year, she and her family began appearing in the reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians (2007–2021), which chronicled their personal and professional lives and significantly contributed to her fame.

Kardashian has since developed a significant social media presence and built several successful businesses, including KKW Beauty (cosmetics) and Skims (shapewear and clothing). She has also ventured into mobile gaming with Kim Kardashian: Hollywood.

Beyond her business ventures, Kardashian has become increasingly involved in social justice advocacy. She has campaigned for prison reform, advocating for the release of inmates she believes were unfairly sentenced. She has also pursued legal studies, aiming to become a lawyer.

Kardashian's influence extends to fashion, beauty, and popular culture. She is known for her distinctive style and has been a frequent subject of media coverage and public discussion regarding her life, relationships, and business decisions. She was married to rapper Kanye West from 2014 to 2022; they have four children.
