Celebrating Kim Kardashian at 42: The Reality Star's Secret as a Fashion Influencer
A look back at Kim Kardashian's journey as an influencer during her 42nd birthday.
Love her or hate her, no one can deny that Kim Kardashian is one of the biggest names in Hollywood and the fashion industry. With a current net worth of $1.8 billion, the reality star became a household name from her family reality show, "Keeping up with the Kardashians", up to her fashion empire, "Skims" today.
Despite Kim's famed family name, the people around her know that the success is all hers and attributes it to the beauty mogul's work ethic.
Her Entrepreneur Mindset
The 42-year-old reality star has always been vocal that talent lies in marketing, as she was able to build a business empire off her brands including "Skims", "KKW Fragrance", "KKW Beauty", and even a video game called "Kim Kardashian Hollywood!".
"If you asked me to pick fame or fortune, I would not pick fame. It's always been about working hard and making money. I never worked hard. I had a job all through high school, always worked and was always proud to work, whether in a clothing store or for my dad. I never wanted an easy ride or a free ticket," Kim shared in an interview with The Cut.
Setting the Trends
As the godmother of influencers, it's no secret how the fashion mogul has been making viral fashion statements over the years.
Control Over Her Lifestyle
While the people around her have been busy partying, Kim has been on the grind since her early twenties, alluding to her discipline as one of the secrets to achieving her desired lifestyle.
"I've always been really committed to something. I definitely think that it can be discouraging. It can be exhausting. But you really do have to put the time in and put the work in. And really just stay focused." Kim shared regarding maintaining a great lifestyle.
Additionally, Kim has been working hard toward her goal of becoming a lawyer as she revealed that she has been studying in law school.
Social Media Empire
And of course, one of the smartest moves that Kim has ever made that built the foundation for her success is establishing her social media following early. Her social media count is more than a measure of her popularity, but is also a portfolio of her brand as a fashion icon.
Kim Kardashian is hailed as one of the top 10 most followed accounts on the internet, frequently amassing thousands of comments on every social media post.
The fashion influencer has set the bar high when it comes to being an icon and knows the daily grind over the years has paid off, but Kim has nowhere to go but up from here.
