Kardashian-Jenner
matriarch and manager
– Kris Jenner, is certainly
a force to be reckoned
with making the once
notorious family,
America’s true royalty
The Kardashian-Jenner family, more known as “The Kardashians”, don’t need an introduction.
The family, best known for their longest running reality television show - Keeping Up with the
Kardashians, which ran for 14 years between 2007 and 2021, now boast two members of the
Billionaire club with the rest achieving success in their own realms of business. That said, it is no
secret as to the driving force behind the Kardashian-Jenner empire and that is the self-coined
“Momager” herself - Kris Jenner.
Kris has been a lifelong resident of Southern California, calling Los Angeles home since 1976.
She married attorney Robert Kardashian in 1978 only to divorce in 1991 where Kris wed former
Olympian Bruce Jenner (now Caitlyn Jenner) the same year. Robert Kardashian died in 2003
after battling cancer. Already a prominent figure in the Los Angeles social scene, Kris carved her
path as a self-made woman. The start to her career saw humble beginnings but armed with her
expertise in networking and knack for nurturing relationships, coupled with business acumen
honed since her teenage years, Kris seemed destined to be a crowned head from the outset.
