SKIMS founder Kim Kardashian has revealed that she kicked off her best-selling business from her bathtub, and her net worth is now $1.8 billion. The reality star and business mogul is fresh from a landmark Time interview. Kim discussed the origins of her 2019-founded shapewear company. While SKIMS still retails its shapewear collections, it now offers loungewear, basics, swimwear, and more. In fact, SKIMS has just confirmed that it will be opening its first brick-and-mortar store.
Kim Kardashian Talks SKIMS As Net Worth Sky-Rockets
“It started off with simply finding shapewear that was a skin tone that would match my color. I used to take my shapewear and dye it with tea bags and coffee in the bathtub,” Kim revealed. Since Kim is invested both financially and design-wise, she is often the “model fit.” Speaking of this, the ex to rapper Kanye West revealed that she’s tried on around “7000” items.
“I always like to see it on myself,” she continued. “I can absolutely tell when I miss a few drops.”
Kardashian Hits Cult Status With SKIMS
In 2022, Kim Kardashian’s net worth was valued at not far off $2 billion. While her earnings include pay from reality TV and endorsements, chances are, SKIMS is behind the eye-watering figure. Earlier this month, Kim ushered in a new season of SKIMS Swim. Her brand has also proven popular with its Cozy Collection and the endless array of bodysuits and slip dresses on offer.
“I wanted to create a brand that could be relied on as a true solution for how people dress today. In doing this, it was especially important that we were size-inclusive and offered a range of colors,” Kim had previously told Vogue.
Kim is also the founder of SKKN by Kim skincare. The nine-step skincare brand launched last year in the wake of Kim shutting down KKW Beauty.
