"Kim" Kardashian (born October 21, 1980) is an American socialite and television personality. In 2007, she gained notoriety as the subject of a sex tape that subsequently resulted in a court awarding her $5 million; later on that same year, she and her family rose to prominence with their E! reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and its subsequent spin-offs, including Kourtney and Kim Take New York and Kourtney and Kim Take Miami. In 2010, Kardashian was the highest-earning reality star, with estimated earnings of $6 million.
The hotter half of KimYe, recently signed a new three-year deal with E! that will keep the Kardashians on the network through their series’ ninth season. The deal is worth an estimated $50 million. As further proof that Kim knows how to get paid, earlier in 2012, she launched two fragrances and a clothing line.
