The world has been keeping up with the Kardashian-Jenner clan for 18 years now – and the family’s drama, as well as their bank accounts, remain as juicy as ever.
The smash-hit reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians first hit screens in 2007, running for an incredible 20 seasons before wrapping in 2021. Then came the revival, The Kardashians, which premiered in 2022 and continues to air today.
But how did the eight core members of this reality TV family transform into a fully fledged, super-rich dynasty? Read on to find out and discover which member of the famous family boasts the biggest fortune.
All dollar amounts in US dollars.
Rob Kardashian is the youngest child and only son of Kris Jenner and the late Robert Kardashian, a prominent Hollywood lawyer who famously defended O.J. Simpson.
Rob, along with the rest of his family, rose to fame starring in Keeping Up with the Kardashians. At one point, he earned around $1 million (£760k) per year in base salary from the show, plus additional income from endorsement deals with brands like Coca-Cola.
In 2018, Rob stepped back from the spotlight and appeared on the reality series less frequently. He reportedly still earns about $50,000 (£39k) per episode when he does make a rare appearance.
Rob landed his own reality show, Rob & Chyna, in 2016 alongside his ex-partner, model, and influencer Blac Chyna (pictured together). The show aired for one season and followed the couple as they prepared for the birth of their daughter, Dream Renée Kardashian. However, it was cancelled when the pair split up.
Like the rest of his family, Rob, who graduated from business school in 2009, has grown his fortune through numerous savvy side hustles. These include modelling, working as a talent manager, and even launching his own sock line called Arthur George.
While he may be the least wealthy member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Rob’s estimated $10 million (£7.6m) net worth is certainly nothing to be sniffed at!
Caitlyn Jenner is the former partner of Kris Jenner. The pair share two children together: Kylie and Kendall.
Caitlyn is a retired Olympian who won the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. She rose to new heights of global stardom after appearing on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, but today she’s arguably best known as a transgender rights activist.
Caitlyn came out as a transgender woman in 2015 and later that same year landed her own reality series I Am Cait, which chronicled her transition and personal journey.
Beyond her athletic and reality TV career, Caitlyn has boosted her fortune through a wide range of money-making ventures. This includes publishing a 2017 memoir, The Secrets of My Life, which reportedly earned her up to $1.9 million (£1.4m).
Caitlyn also appeared on the British reality series I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2019, banking approximately $660,000 (£500k) for her efforts.
In a surprise move, she (unsuccessfully) ran for Governor of California in 2021 as a Republican. Her estimated net worth today stands at $25 million (£19m).
Khloé Kardashian is the third-born child of Kris and Robert Kardashian.
Khloé became a household name by starring in Keeping Up with the Kardashians. She also appeared in the short-lived spin-off shows Khloé and Kim Take Miami and Khloé and Lamar. The latter series followed her life with her then-husband, former NBA star Lamar Odom.
It’s reported that Khloé earned up to $5 million (£3.8m) per season while starring on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and now earns as much as $8 million (£6m) per season for The Kardashians.
Adding to her reality TV résumé, Khloé was a contestant on The Celebrity Apprentice in 2009.
She’s also a successful entrepreneur and co-founded the Good American denim and fashion brand in 2016. Known for its size-inclusive clothing and body-positive campaigns, the label achieved $1 million (£760k) in sales on its launch day.
Also contributing to her estimated $60 million (£45m) net worth are money-spinning brand collaborations, including a partnership with athleisure wear company Fabletics.
Kendall Jenner is the eldest daughter of Kris and Caitlyn. The former child star was just 11 years old when she began appearing alongside her family in Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Like her sister Khloé, Kendall reportedly earned up to $5 million (£4m) per season for Keeping Up with the Kardashians and takes home up to $8 million (£6m) per season on its revival series The Kardashians.
Kendall began modelling at just 14 years old and has since become one of the highest-paid supermodels in the world.
She’s worked with some of the biggest names in fashion, including Victoria’s Secret, Calvin Klein, and Marc Jacobs. According to Celebrity Net Worth, she can earn up to $22 million (£17m) per year from modelling gigs and endorsement deals.
Beyond the runway, Kendall has launched everything from a jewellery collection to a mobile app. Most notably, she founded the successful 818 Tequila brand in 2021. Her estimated total fortune is $60 million (£45m).
Kourtney Kardashian is the eldest child of Kris and Robert Kardashian. She skyrocketed to fame starring in Keeping Up with the Kardashians, where she reportedly earned up to $5 million (£4m) per season.
Today, she continues to star in The Kardashians, earning as much as $8 million (£6m) per season.
Kourtney has leveraged her reality TV fame into a lucrative empire, including the lifestyle brand and blog called Poosh that she launched in 2019.
She’s also dabbled in acting, making her debut in 2011 on the ABC soap opera One Life to Live, though her performance received negative reviews. She later scored a cameo role in the 2021 Netflix film He’s All That.
Like her siblings, Kourtney earns a fortune from endorsement deals, including collaborations with fast fashion brands like PrettyLittleThing and Boohoo. Her estimated net worth stands at around $65 million (£50m).
Kris Jenner is the matriarch and famed 'momager' of the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
She rose to fame starring in Keeping Up with the Kardashians, where she reportedly earned up to $7.5 million (£5.7m) per season. She now appears in The Kardashians, banking as much as $12.5 million (£9.5m) per season.
As the manager of her family’s vast empire, Kris takes a 10% cut of her children’s earnings.
Outside of managing her famous brood, Kris has launched numerous lucrative side hustles. These include a short-lived talk show titled Kris in 2013. She’s also penned several books, including her 2011 autobiography Kris Jenner… and All Things Kardashian and her 2014 cookbook In the Kitchen with Kris: A Kollection of Kardashian-Jenner Family Favorites.
Kris has further profited from stakes in her daughters’ businesses. For example, she held an 8% stake in Kim’s former beauty brand KKW Beauty and a 10% share in Kylie’s billion-dollar company Kylie Cosmetics.
Her sharp business acumen has earned her an estimated net worth of $170 million (£130m).
Kylie Jenner is the youngest child of Kris and Caitlyn Jenner, making her the baby of the Kardashian-Jenner family.
Kylie was just 10 years old when she began appearing on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and continues to star in The Kardashians today.
Like her sisters, she reportedly earned up to $5 million (£4m) per season for the original series and banks around $8 million (£6m) per season for the revival.
A savvy entrepreneur, Kylie launched her beauty brand Kylie Cosmetics in 2015. The company became a huge hit, driven by the viral success of her Lip Kit products. In 2020, she sold a 51% stake in the business to Coty Inc. for $600 million (£470m), earning around $540 million (£425m) pre-tax. She still retains a 44% ownership stake in the company today.
Not content with running just one thriving company, Kylie has also launched a skincare line, Kylie Skin, a swimwear brand, Kylie Swim, and a baby care brand called Kylie Baby.
According to Forbes, she's the second-richest member of the Kardashian-Jenner family, with an estimated total fortune of $670 million (£520m).
Kim Kardashian is the second-born child of Kris and Robert Kardashian and arguably the family’s most famous member.
Kim was formerly a personal assistant to socialite Paris Hilton, but she gained widespread attention when an explicit home video she made with her ex-partner, rapper Ray J, went viral.
She then became a household in Keeping Up with the Kardashians, where she reportedly earned up to $5 million (£4m) per season. Today, she also makes up to $8 million (£6m) per season appearing in The Kardashians.
Kim has worked in many sectors of the entertainment industry, from modelling to acting. Her acting resume includes a role in the hit horror series American Horror Story and a vocal part in the family-friendly animated film Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie. More recently, she appeared in the legal drama All's Fair, which, despite a critical panning, has been renewed for a second season.
However, Kim is best known today as a wildly successful businesswoman. She launched her shapewear brand Skims in 2019, and it's since grown into a fashion empire valued at $4 billion (£3bn).
In 2022, she also launched her skincare company SKKN, which has since been integrated under the Skims umbrella. Her estimated net worth is a staggering $1.7 billion (£1.3bn), making her one of the richest women in the world.
