Kim Kardashian may be a reality TV star, but she is, to her credit, also a pioneering woman in business.
The 41-year-old SKIMS founder and aspiring lawyer, who has a net worth of $1 billion (£764 million) and earned a place on Forbes’ list of the world’s billionaires, has amassed wealth from a number of lucrative ventures including KKW Beauty. , which she launched in 2017.
Kardashian sold 20% of KKW Beauty to cosmetics conglomerate Coty (which also bought 51% of sister Kylie Jenner’s Kylie Cosmetics brand in 2020) for $200 million.
In addition, she owns a majority stake in the SKIMS line of shapewear, and has also amassed a substantial fortune from reality television, endorsement deals, and numerous smaller investments.
So you’d think the mother of four would have some pretty enlightening advice for other women hoping to make bank for their efforts. Unfortunately, one piece of advice she gave to ‘women in business’ has ruffled many feathers, with many calling it ‘tone-deaf’ or just plain useless.
Kardashian — who once hit back at critics of her success by saying, “Not bad for a girl with no talent,” while in a Forbes Summit – boldly declared during her last interview with Variety: ‘I have the best advice for women in business: Get up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.’
Now, a host of people have taken to social media to air their thoughts on how (un)helpful they find that statement to be.
