Kim grew up alongside her siblings Kourtney, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian, as well as half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner from her mother’s later marriage to Caitlyn Jenner (formerly Bruce Jenner). Raised in Beverly Hills, she was surrounded by fame and glamour from an early age. Before becoming a global icon, Kim worked as a stylist and personal shopper, notably for her friend Paris Hilton. Her initial public recognition came from her close connections within Hollywood’s social circles.
In 2007, Kim and her family became the stars of the E! reality series “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”, which documented the lives of the Kardashian–Jenner family. The show was an instant hit, turning Kim into a household name. Over the next 14 years, it ran for 20 seasons, spawning multiple spin-offs like Kourtney & Kim Take New York and Life of Kylie. The show made Kim one of the most recognizable faces in popular culture and played a major role in redefining celebrity in the age of social media.
