Prior to delving into the management of her children's
highly successful lives, Kris honed her skills by managing
her former spouse, Caitlyn Jenner who gained prominence
with a victorious performance at the Olympic decathlon
event in Quebec, Canada, in 1976. Consequently, numerous
speaking engagements, often coordinated by Kris, became
a pivotal avenue for Caitlyn's public presence.
Kris sprang into action upon Kendall expressing her desire
to pursue a modelling career witnessing her genuine
dedication. Celebrated for her adeptness at capitalizing on
opportunities to enhance her family's financial standing,
Kris facilitated Kendall's entry into the modelling industry
by forging connections with esteemed agencies. By 2018,
Kendall Jenner had ascended to the pinnacle of the
modelling world, earning the title of the highest-paid model
globally, with an estimated income of US$22.5 million, as
recognized by Forbes.
In addition to overseeing Kim's burgeoning empire, which
now encompasses Kim Kardashian West Beauty and Kylie
Jenner’s lucratively established beauty brand, Kris's other
daughters have flourished in the business domain as well.
With what commenced with Smooch and Dash stores
evolved into full-fledged clothing lines, shoe collections,
home décor ranges, fragrances, and handbag lines, with
the sisters actively involved in the design process. Khloe
Kardashian spearheads Good American, a clothing line
tailored for women and Kourtney is the brains behind
Poosh. Forbes estimated that Kris Jenner pocketed at least
US$100,000 from each episode of “Keeping Up With the
Kardashians” in 2020, in addition to her customary 10%
management fee from her children's endeavours. Coupled
with her stakes in various businesses, an autobiography,
and a cookbook, Kris's net worth soared to approximately
US$190 million. When asked about orchestrating these
deals, Kris Jenner acknowledged, "I used to be a one-man
show, but then I realized, you know, it takes a village."
In addition to their multifaceted enterprises, the Kardashian
sisters leverage social media to generate substantial
income. Kris revealed her daughter are constantly receiving
offers to promote companies or brands on social media and
have so set fees for posts, stories, and various platforms.
When queried about the top earners, Kris noted that Kylie
and Kim command higher prices due to their immense
social media presence.

her bucket list isn’t as extraordinary as some may believe
as staying healthy and living a long and able life is what
matters to her most. Reflecting upon her growth in The
Golden State as an individual and as a mom who truly
put her family on the map, she concluded sharing, “It’s
a personal journey. You have to be driven and have the
motivation, inspiration and desire to be successful. If you
can dream it, you can do it”.
