The images supposedly made their way to 4chan and Reddit before they were quickly deleted. Kim Kardashian West has dealt with the salacious nature of tabloid reporting on her private life already. It’s not right, but it’s the price of fame she’s dealt with for years. Let’s face it, it’s hard to ignore the physical assets of Kim Kardashian West, but it’s her media savvy that’s building an empire.
Kim Kardashian A Superstar from One Movie
Kim Kardashian’s first foray into tabloid media was as a friend to Paris Hilton. They occasionally frequented the LA club scene together. But what started as an innocent curiosity by photographers became tabloid overnight fame in 2002. A sex tape featuring “Kim K” with her then-boyfriend, singer Ray J went public. Since the tape, Kim has become a social media dynamo and reality television star with lucrative endorsement deals.
Her dating and private life still fascinate the public, twelve years later. The latest batch of photos featuring Kim posing in a one-piece swimsuit and not wearing a wedding ring. Kardashian married rapper Kanye West in 2014, leading to speculation that the pics were taken before the couple’s nuptials. But beyond that, nothing much else is known about the pics. US Weekly is also reporting that nude pictures of Vanessa Hudgens, U.S. soccer player Hope Solo, Lake Bell, Avril Lavigne and, Leelee Sobieski, were posted online. That’s quite a ‘fappening.’ The FBI is investigating the hacks of these celebrities’ cloud servers.

Kardashian is a polarizing pop culture personality. Love her or hate her, Kim Kardashian West has incredible physical assets. But her real genius is leveraging her tabloid fame into a multimedia empire. Kim, her sisters, and her mother have capitalized on their notoriety better than most celebrities of the last decade. Kardashian’s estimated net worth is approximately $45 million as of 2014. In 2015, Forbes reported she had “made more this year than ever as her earnings nearly doubled to $53 million from 2014’s $28 million.”
How exactly does she make her money? That’s a complicated answer. A Business Insider article stated that Kardashian West makes between $300 to 500,000 for a single Instagram post. Plus, her attorneys mentioned in court filings that Kardashian West recently agreed to a $6 million annual deal with a wearable-consumer-goods company. Whatever she’s doing, she doing something right. Congratulations on your victory Commish. Great selection.
