Quick answer: The Kim Kardashian net worth 2026 figure on Forbes is $1.9 billion, shown as real-time net worth as of 14 September 2026, with a last-updated line of 3 June 2026. The same $1.9 billion is No. 8 on Forbes’ World’s Celebrity Billionaires 2026 list, published 10 March 2026. Forbes first listed her as a billionaire at $1 billion on 6 April 2021. That is a compiler estimate, not a filing.
Celebrity Net Worth, last modified 9 February 2026, estimates Kim K at about $2 billion. The two prints are $100 million apart. This page does not average them. Celebrity Net Worth also prints $80 million per year as a salary line on the same profile. That is the compiler’s typical-year flow, not a 2026 Forbes pay list, and it is not the $1.9 billion.
The bulk of both wealth prints sits on paper in Skims. SKIMS BODY, INC. announced on 12 November 2025 a $225 million raise at a $5 billion company valuation, led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives with participation from BDT & MSD Partners’ affiliated funds. That $5 billion is the company. It is not her cheque. The brief’s $4 billion Skims figure is the prior Series C, dated 19 July 2023.

| CNW $1.67 billion paper stake | Compiler arithmetic: one-third of $5 billion | Celebrity Net Worth’s own sentence on the $2 billion profile. Not a sale. Not this page’s math |
| >$1 billion 2025 net sales | Company revenue target | SKIMS, 12 November 2025. Not profit and not personal income |
| Coty 20% / $200 million | A 2020–21 beauty-slice deal | Implied $1 billion KKW Beauty mark at that close. Historical. Not current SKKN value |
| Coty $71.1 million loss | Coty’s write-down on exit | Coty Q3, reported May 2025. Not what Kardashian received |

| Kris Jenner “$60 million” | A 2018 family claim about Hidden Hills | Restated in later coverage. Not an appraisal this page opened |
A company round is paper. A pay-year is flow. A house price is a house price. Adding any of those to Forbes’ $1.9 billion, or treating one-third of $5 billion as a sourced personal appraisal, is how the largest number on the page becomes two fortunes.
The $5 billion is Skims, not a personal cheque
Skims was co-founded in 2019 by Kim Kardashian and Jens Grede. The current company mark is the 12 November 2025 round: $225 million of new capital at $5 billion. The company said the raise was led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives, with BDT & MSD Partners’ affiliated funds participating, and that it was on track to exceed $1 billion in net sales in 2025.
CNBC printed the same $5 billion / $225 million day. This page uses the company statement and that wire. It does not use the SEO brief’s $4 billion as if that round were still current. CNBC, 15 October 2025, still described Skims as valued at $4 billion after a July 2023 fundraising round. CNBC’s 12 November 2025 piece says the new round is up from roughly $4 billion after the 2023 round. That is the previous private mark. Print both dates. Do not pick the larger company number and call it hers.
Forbes, writing on 12 November 2025, estimated she owns just under one-third of Skims after that round. Celebrity Net Worth says about one-third, and it then writes that a one-third stake at $5 billion is worth $1.67 billion on paper. That last sentence is Celebrity Net Worth’s arithmetic. It is not a cap table, and this page does not rerun the multiplication as a fact.
The stake is not in a filing we opened. Co-founders and later investors dilute founder lines. Naming Thrive Capital or Greenoaks, as Reuters’ roundup does, is not the same as printing percentages. For the same distinction elsewhere on this site — a large company number that is not a personal fortune — see the Rothschild family page and Richard Rosenblatt. For a consumer brand where Forbes does print a beauty fortune, see Rihanna. For a drink brand where it does not, see Logan Paul. For a compiler that already folded a drinks-company paper mark into a personal headline, see Dwayne Johnson.
SKKN sits inside Skims after March 2025
KKW Beauty is the historical beauty mark, not a second 2026 fortune. Coty bought 20% for $200 million, implying $1 billion for the brand at that deal (announced June 2020, closed 2021). The line later became SKKN BY KIM. Those dates stay historical.
On 21 March 2025, Coty said it had closed the sale of that 20% stake to Skims. On 24 March 2025, Skims said it had acquired SKKN BY KIM from Kim Kardashian and Coty, bringing her beauty name-image-likeness rights under the Skims brand. The purchase price was not disclosed. Coty later recorded a $71.1 million loss on the stake in its third-quarter update, reported in May 2025. That is Coty’s write-down. It is not a cheque to Kardashian that this page can price.
After March 2025, SKKN is an absorbed asset inside the company that Forbes and Celebrity Net Worth already use for the personal marks. This page will not stack a leftover $1 billion beauty valuation on top of $1.9 billion, and it will not treat an undisclosed internal deal as a second IPO.
TV and Instagram money is flow
Keeping Up with the Kardashians made the family a television product. Variety, restating the 2017 E! pact in its 10 March 2022 cover story, put that family deal at just under $100 million through 2020. That is a household contract, not a Kim-only fee, and it is not net worth.
The Hulu series The Kardashians is the follow-on. Variety, 10 March 2022, said insiders put the pact in nine figures for two seasons, 40 episodes. Khloé Kardashian told Variety the six principals would receive the same salary: “We are all equals.” Variety did not print a Kim-only per-episode number. This page does not invent one by dividing nine figures by six, then by forty.
A Kim Kardashian annual income print, from Forbes, exists for older Celebrity 100 years. The 2015 list put her at $52.5 million. The 2016 list put her at $51 million, with Forbes saying about 40% of that year came from the Kim Kardashian: Hollywood mobile game. We did not open a 2024, 2025 or 2026 Forbes highest-paid year for her. Celebrity Net Worth’s $80 million-per-year line stays labelled as CNW. Court documents from a 2019 lawsuit, as CNW reports them, put a sponsored Instagram post in a $300,000–$500,000 range, sometimes $1 million. That is a 2019 range, not a 2026 rate card.
Kim Kardashian vs Kylie Jenner, on one compiler
The comparison holds only if both sides are the same object. Celebrity Net Worth, modified 9 February 2026, puts Kim Kardashian at about $2 billion. Celebrity Net Worth, last updated 26 March 2026, puts Kylie Jenner at $700 million. That is one publisher, two dated 2026 prints. It is not a verdict about who is “actually” richer, and it is not a Forbes race.
Forbes is a weaker 2026 head-to-head. Kim’s Forbes profile shows $1.9 billion as of 14 September 2026. Kylie’s Forbes profile shows $670 million as of 3 June 2025, on America’s Richest Self-Made Women. Different list vintage. Forbes also withdrew Kylie’s billionaire label in May 2020. We are not using that 2025 Kylie stamp as a 2026 matched race, and we are not averaging compilers.
Real estate is a purchase record, not a second fortune
A house price stays a house price. This page will not add Hidden Hills or Malibu to Forbes’ $1.9 billion, or to Celebrity Net Worth’s $2 billion, or call the stack an empire.
The Hidden Hills compound is the family house. Coverage puts the original 2014 buy at about $20 million. In October 2021, as PEOPLE, E! News and the New York Post reported from court documents, Kardashian paid $23 million to become sole owner: $20 million for the property and $3 million for contents. Kris Jenner’s 2018 $60 million claim, restated in later features, is a family sentence, not a sale we opened.
Malibu is a separate cheque. Forbes, 21 September 2022, Architectural Digest citing Dirt, and The Real Deal put the Encinal Bluffs close at $70.4 million for the former Cindy Crawford house, off-market, after a much higher ask. Celebrity Net Worth also describes a Bel Air buy at $9 million (2013) and a later $18 million sale (2017). That Bel Air pair is CNW’s wording on this file; we did not open a matching property-desk deed in this pass.
What this page cannot tell you
We cannot tell you that $1.9 billion or $2 billion is right. Forbes and Celebrity Net Worth do not show a full personal balance sheet. We cannot tell you her exact Skims percentage, what she received when Skims bought SKKN, or what SKKN would sell for as a stand-alone brand. We cannot tell you a 2026 Forbes pay-year, because we did not open one. We cannot tell you a Kim-only Hulu episode fee. We cannot tell you that Hidden Hills is worth $60 million because Kris Jenner said so in 2018.
We can tell you what Forbes prints as of mid-September 2026, what Celebrity Net Worth printed in February, what Skims and Goldman announced on 12 November 2025, that the $4 billion round is 2023, that SKKN was folded into Skims in March 2025 at an undisclosed price, and that a Kylie comparison on this site is honest only as two Celebrity Net Worth stamps from 2026.
How we research this page
Every figure on this page is attributed to the organisation that published it, with the date it was published, because estimates from different publishers are not interchangeable and they go stale at different speeds.
We used Forbes’ Kim Kardashian profile (as of 14 September 2026; last-updated line 3 June 2026) and the 10 March 2026 Celebrity Billionaires list for $1.9 billion. We used Forbes, 6 April 2021, for the first $1 billion billionaire listing. We used Celebrity Net Worth, last modified 9 February 2026, for about $2 billion, the one-third Skims sentence, the $1.67 billion paper line, the $80 million-per-year salary line, and the 2019 Instagram range as CNW reports the lawsuit.
SKIMS BODY, INC. / Goldman Sachs Alternatives, 12 November 2025, and CNBC the same day, are the opened sources for the $225 million raise, the $5 billion valuation, the $1 billion-plus 2025 sales target, and the investor names. CNBC, 15 October 2025, is the opened source that still described the July 2023 mark as $4 billion; the November CNBC piece says the new round is up from roughly $4 billion after the 2023 round. Forbes, 12 November 2025, is the opened source for “just under one-third.”
Coty’s 21 March 2025 Business Wire note and Skims’ 24 March 2025 PR Newswire release are the opened sources for the SKKN transfer. Cosmetics Business, May 2025, is the opened source for Coty’s $71.1 million loss. Variety, 10 March 2022, is the opened source for the nine-figure Hulu pact, equal pay, and the restated E! “just under $100 million” deal. Forbes’ 2015 and 2016 Celebrity 100 pages are the opened sources for $52.5 million and $51 million.
PEOPLE, E! News and the New York Post, October 2021, citing court documents, are the opened sources for the $23 million Hidden Hills buyout. Forbes, Architectural Digest and The Real Deal, September 2022, are the opened sources for the $70.4 million Malibu close. Celebrity Net Worth, last updated 26 March 2026, is the opened source for Kylie Jenner at $700 million. Kylie’s Forbes profile, as of 3 June 2025, is the $670 million footnote. Wikipedia is the compiled biography for birthdate; in the passages we opened it is not the living net-worth source.
We do not average Forbes with Celebrity Net Worth, we do not convert a company round or a house price into a living net worth, and we do not treat one-third of $5 billion as a sourced appraisal. Where the 2023 $4 billion round and the 2025 $5 billion round both exist, we print both dates. Forbes article paths under /sites/ can 403 from this newsroom; where that happened we still used the profile, the list page, the company press release and the wires. Our approach is described in more detail on our About Us page.
Frequently asked questions
What is Kim Kardashian’s net worth?
Forbes estimates $1.9 billion, as of 14 September 2026 on the profile, and on the Celebrity Billionaires 2026 list dated 10 March 2026. Celebrity Net Worth, last modified 9 February 2026, estimates about $2 billion. This page does not average them.
Is she a billionaire?
On those two compilers, yes, as of those stamps. Forbes first listed her at $1 billion on 6 April 2021. A compiler listing is not an audited fortune.
Is Skims worth $4 billion or $5 billion?
$4 billion was the July 2023 Series C. $5 billion is the 12 November 2025 round. Both are company marks, not her personal cheque.
What stake does she own in Skims?
Not disclosed in a filing we opened. Forbes, 12 November 2025, estimated just under one-third after the round. Celebrity Net Worth says about one-third. Celebrity Net Worth’s $1.67 billion paper line is that compiler’s one-third-of-$5-billion arithmetic, not a sale.
Does SKKN add another billion?
No sourced second fortune. Skims acquired SKKN from Kim Kardashian and Coty in March 2025; the price was undisclosed. Coty’s 2020–21 20% / $200 million deal is a historical beauty mark, now inside Skims.
Kim vs Kylie?
Celebrity Net Worth: Kim about $2 billion, modified 9 February 2026, versus Kylie $700 million, last updated 26 March 2026. Same compiler, two dated 2026 prints. Forbes’ Kylie figure of $670 million is as of 3 June 2025, a different vintage, and is not used here as a 2026 race.
Is Hulu salary net worth?
No. Variety printed a nine-figure family deal on 10 March 2022, with equal pay among the principals, not a personal wealth ticker and not a Kim-only per-episode fee.
Bottom line
Kim Kardashian is worth $1.9 billion according to Forbes, as of 14 September 2026, and about $2 billion according to Celebrity Net Worth, as of 9 February 2026. Both compilers are leaning on Skims paper. Skims’ current company mark is $5 billion from 12 November 2025, not the $4 billion Series C from 2023, and not a personal cheque.
What holds up without the SEO brief’s stale company figure, or an invented 2026 pay-year, is narrower and more useful. A founder stake that is estimated, not filed. A beauty line that Skims absorbed in March 2025 at an undisclosed price. Television money that Variety printed as a family pact. House prices that stay house prices. And a Kylie comparison that is only honest if both numbers came from Celebrity Net Worth in 2026.
