Forbes says the vast majority of her fortune comes from her SKIMS stake. SKIMS is a private company, so the value of that stake, and of her net worth, is an estimate based on its latest funding round.
How much is SKIMS worth, and how much does Kim own?
SKIMS was valued at $5 billion in November 2025, and Kim Kardashian owns about 35% of it, according to Fortune. On paper, that stake is worth roughly $1.75 billion, which accounts for most of her net worth.
Kardashian launched SKIMS in 2019 with Jens Grede, who is its chief executive. It started with shapewear, underwear and loungewear. In February 2025 it announced NikeSKIMS, a women’s activewear line made with Nike. Forbes says the brand started online and now has 20 stores in the US and Mexico.
The November 2025 funding round raised $225 million and was led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives.
| Date | SKIMS valuation | Funding round |
|---|---|---|
| January 2022 | $3.2 billion | $240 million, led by Lone Pine Capital |
| July 2023 | $4 billion | $270 million, led by Wellington Management |
| November 2025 | $5 billion | $225 million, led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives |
SKIMS had about $500 million in sales in 2022 and about $750 million in 2023, according to Fortune. The company became profitable in 2023.
What happened to SKKN and KKW Beauty?
Kardashian’s beauty business is now part of SKIMS. In March 2025, the beauty group Coty sold its 20% stake in SKKN by Kim to SKIMS, in a deal that combined the two businesses under one brand. Coty did not disclose the price.
She launched KKW Beauty in 2017. Coty agreed in June 2020 to pay $200 million for 20% of her beauty business, and completed the purchase in January 2021. She later closed KKW Beauty and replaced it with SKKN by Kim, a skincare line.
Because SKKN is now inside SKIMS, its value is effectively counted within her SKIMS stake.
How much does Kim Kardashian make from TV?

- Keeping Up with the Kardashians: ran on E! for 20 seasons before ending in 2021.
- The Kardashians: the family signed a multi-year deal with Hulu in December 2020.

Not all of her paid promotion went smoothly. In October 2022 she agreed to pay $1.26 million in penalties, disgorgement and interest to the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC said she had not disclosed that she was paid $250,000 to promote EMAX tokens, offered by EthereumMax, on Instagram. She settled without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings.
SKKY Partners
In 2022 Kardashian co-founded SKKY Partners, a private equity firm, with Jay Sammons, a former Carlyle Group dealmaker. The firm set out to raise at least $1 billion to buy consumer companies. In December 2024, securities filings showed she was no longer an executive officer. She had been managing partner and is now listed as co-founder and senior operating adviser, Axios reported.
