American businesswoman and reality TV star Kim Kardashian West has recently witnessed her fortune reach the $1 billion mark, thus officially making her a billionaire.
According to Forbes’ estimates, Kim is now worth $1 billion (as compared to $780 million in October), thanks to her two business ventures – KKW Beauty and Skims – not to mention "cash from reality television and endorsement deals, and a number of smaller investments."
While Kardashian West owns several properties in Calabasas and "a portfolio of blue-chip investments, including shares of Disney, Amazon, Netflix and Adidas," it is the companies that she "launched herself" that "land her on the World’s Billionaires list," as the magazine puts it.
Quite a few social media did not seem particularly pleased with this development.
Some also dropped snide remarks about the alleged origins of Kim’s fortune.
There were also those, however, who focused their attention on Kim’s “haters” instead.
