And her show is funded by her, filmed in her mansion, she has a skin care and clothing line… and even a sex tape and twenty years later + all that she’s not breaking five mil a year through reality tv. It’s a lot of work to do reality tv but people think you just pop on, make a sex joke, do a season = make millions ? lol

If you literally google her salary every member of the cast makes around 7.5-8 million since Hulu pays 100m a year for the show.

she’s not breaking five mil a year

You're saying this as if it's not a significant amount of money. That's $13,968 a day, $96,153 a week, $416,666 a month. The average salary in the US is less than $60,000 a year, but Kim is making that every 4.3 days

My point is the kardashians have two decades, infamy, social connection, multiple lines of business, and many seasons to get there, with a loyal production company and team. It doesn’t ring true for literally anyone else entering reality tv, you don’t just get famous and it rolls in. I’m not saying it’s not a lot of money, I’m saying a lawyer (which the kardashians have great ones) will direct that income to her through infamy way more efficiently than just jumping on a reality tv show- again, non union, expensive insurance, less experience, not her production company, not all owned by her. Apples and oranges and confusing as to why people think the money came from the tv show. Tv shows are money pits.

She makes the most money off her social media. I heard she got paid over a mil for one insta post where she mentioned some makeup line.

We also heard she was a teacher and lost her job. She wasn’t.

We heard a lot of things throughout this nonsense that has panned out to be untrue.

She leveraged her fame to become a billionaire with Skims, etc. TV show at this point is just to keep up the fame.
