On today’s episode of ‘things we didn’t know about the Kardashians,’ we find out that Kim Kardashian is actually much richer than we originally thought she’d be. The reality TV star recently appeared on My Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman and got real about her finances.
Now, while some of us were thinking ‘how are the Kardashian’s going to make money after KUWTK ends??’ – Kim’s just confirmed that she’ll be juuuust fine.
She told David Letterman, “we would not be who we are today without Keeping Up With the Kardashians and that’s why we continue to share our lives. Even if, realistically, we can post something on social media and make more than we do a whole season.”
Yup, you read that right.
Although we’re not sure how much Kim exactly makes for each of her IG posts, Us Weekly has reported that it could be anything from $300,000 to $500,000 and sometimes up to $1 million. It looks like we’re in the wrong business here.
Other than getting paid for her IG posts, Kim also obviously makes money from her fam show, KUWTK. It’s not news that their contract with E! is worth a LOT. In 2015, E! agreed to an $80 million deal to keep the show on the air, and then it agreed to another “below $100 million” deal in 2017. AKA around 3 million dirhams.
Same, haha.
