Kim Kardashian's parents are the famous US lawyer Robert Kardashian and socialite Kris Jenner. Thanks to the mixture of blood - Armenian and Northern European, our heroine's appearance is very bright.

The girl was born in the USA, but her nationality is quite difficult to determine, but she considers herself an American. Nine years after Kimberly was born, Robert and Chris divorced.

Our heroine's mother was not alone for long - a couple of years after the divorce, she became engaged to Bruce Jenner. He, along with his own father, greatly influenced the girl’s upbringing.

Kardashian studied at a prestigious school in Los Angeles and worked part-time in one of her father’s companies. But the girl was not attracted to the role of a young glamorous playgirl - she tried herself in every possible way in various fields related to the rich and famous.

Robert died in 2003. For the girl it was a severe emotional shock.

Chasing the Kardashians

One of the founders of the era of reality television, where the rich and famous star in their real life, it was Kim. In 2007, she, along with the E! launched the show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” (in another translation it sounds like “Chasing the Kardashians”).

The Kardashian show immediately attracted the attention of viewers. In each episode, luxurious houses, cars, famous friends flashed; personal, even intimate moments of all household members were put on public display.

From the very beginning, the Kardashian family was not against such public frankness and, on the contrary, tried to become more famous. So - younger sister our heroine Kendall became a teenage model for famous brands.

New Beginnings

Many believe that Kardashian had a very boring biography before plastic surgery, and only after the operation the girl’s life was filled with offers to act in films and commercials. At the same time, the press cannot definitely say whether the star even lay on the plastic surgeon’s table or not.

And while everyone is wondering: “What made Kardashian famous?”, the girl is doing business by selling video courses and diets for weight loss. Her beautiful figure is constantly discussed by the press, so the enterprising girl even finds a way to make a fortune from this.

Despite a sufficient amount of evidence from the prosecution, the athlete was acquitted and was released on bail thanks to the skill of lawyer Robert Kardashian.

Kim Kardashian is great or terrible, as you like, but she arouses interest with her incredible publicity and POPULARITY. Her life has long gone beyond the scope of a screen show about the Kardashian family and has become a show in principle. Her motto is a little too much. After all, she is everywhere!

Kardashian's Instagram account is one of the first in the world in terms of the number of subscribers. She is a trendsetter for millions of girls around the world. Suddenly, only the young singer Selena Gomez was ahead of her. But 102 million of those who follow Kim online every second - you agree, is more than not bad.

And this despite the fact that, by and large, she became famous only for her big bottom, and not for Oscar-winning movie roles or singles that would have received several Grammy awards. She's not the Wolf of Wolf Street, she's a better socialite.

Kardashian is no longer even a surname, but a common noun, even an entire subculture. The brightest representative of the time, bohemia, show business, and, perhaps, the most controversial star. But her radiance blinds envious people and spiteful critics, who still cannot understand her phenomenon.

And Kim is like a golden antelope: she continues to make money from everything she touches. And of course, as the laws of the genre dictate, he doesn’t let himself be forgotten by another scandal.

Kim. Start.

Let's face it: Kimberly Noelle Kardashian's official story is short and not as interesting as everything that happened after she came of age.

She was born in Los Angeles 36 years ago. Father, Robert Kardashian, is a doctor of law who made a career out of the so-called “Simpson case.” Mother Kimberly is also not an easy person. Kris Jenner is a famous television producer and socialite. But with all their busyness, they managed to give birth to four children. They grew up in Beverly Hills, in luxury and wealth, because their fortune was decent, and the Hiltons and Riches were among the family's friends. Belonging to the “golden youth” had a great impact on the character of the future Instagram star. Kim never thought to doubt the exclusivity of her status. True, even the girl who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth had to work hard at school. The music company, which, among other things, was owned by her father, became young Kimberly’s first place of work.

To everyone who was born in the USSR, the star’s surname reminds of something Armenian. And this is the honest truth: the roots on the paternal side really go to the Caucasus. The Kardashians moved to the United States from Armenia at the end of the 19th century. It is interesting that Kimberly first visited the homeland of her ancestors only at the age of 35. Well, she says to herself that she has a great mix of her father’s Armenian blood with her mother’s Scottish and Dutch blood.

In 1989, the parents divorced. True, the famous mother did not remain alone for long, and a few years later she married Olympic winner Bruce Jenner. It was in 2015 that he underwent gender reassignment surgery and now his name is Caitlin, and in the 90s he became the father of four more children. So the Kardashian-Jenner family is indeed large. But no one needed money. Even from the huge scandal with homemade porn, the then 16-year-old Kim managed to get $5 million. This was the amount of compensation for the fact that an influential family would take legal action against the company that had undertaken to distribute the indecent recording. True, there is still an opinion that the video was not stolen, and Kimberly herself, in pursuit of popularity, created a sex scandal. Today she says that she is terribly ashamed of this, but it was then that the queen of outrageousness realized that one cannot become famous for good deeds. But on this wave, Kimberly and her sisters open a boutique of branded clothing and fashion accessories D-A-S-H.

Until her 18th birthday, Kim generally had unlimited access to finance. True, after she came of age, her parents began to prepare the girl for independence and slowly limited her resources. Well, in 2007, a long reality show began, which was initiated by the mother of the family and TV producer - “Catching up with the Kardashians.” It turned out that many people wanted to follow the life of the golden large family.

In 2010, Kim took first place as a reality star whose fee was the highest.

Who was nobody will become everything!

No one is, of course, a strong word. But still, with the same initial data as Kim Kardashian, with sex scandals, attempts to sing and act in films, her childhood friends Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie were somehow blown away. But not Kimberly. Today she is a mega-popular media personality, businesswoman, designer, model. And she started, of course, with television shows, songs and filming.

The scandal surrounding an obscene video in a noble family spurred the popularity of reality and became a platform for widespread fame.

She starred in a number of TV series, including such well-known ones as “CSI: New York”, “How I Met Your Mother”, and in feature films. Only her performance in “Unreal Blockbuster” and “Family Consultant” brought only nominations for the anti-Oscar Golden Raspberry Award. So what? Kimberly moves on, and now she is already participating in the American project “Dancing with the Stars”. True, the dancing didn’t work out either: the couple dropped out of the show almost at the beginning, which was a blow for the ambitious Kardashian. Having no luck with cinema and choreography? We must sing!

In 2010, the premiere of her song took place not just anywhere, but on new year party in Las Vegas. There was talk in the crowd about the release of an album, for which the star was going to attract the best producers and musicians. And at the beginning of 2011, the first and only video for Kim’s first and only single was released. The song was criticized to smithereens, and throughout the entire reality TV universe she became known as the worst singer. The musical community abruptly cut off the socialite's impulse. True, where is this public, and where is Kardashian in the end! One should not discount the fact that Kim continued to open fashion boutiques and design clothes for the famous brand. She released a personalized collection of jewelry for one company and began own project on the design of ethnic jewelry for another. Her range of interests is extremely wide. She also has two perfumes (pay money if you want to smell like a star) and a sunblock. And of course, having succeeded in reality shows on TV, she herself became the producer of one of them.

What did she try, in what guises did she try to find fame. But... in California it's not enough to just be a beautiful rich girl. Since childhood, Kim Kardashian was not distinguished by talent, and she did not have any special abilities. Neither vocals, nor cinema, nor dancing brought dividends in the tough world of American show business. And then the last thing left was shocking behavior and experiments with appearance. They used simple, seemingly primitive methods. But the main thing is that they took the shot, simultaneously discovering a unique gift - doing PR out of the blue!

In the book “Selfish”, which was published in all seriousness, there are few letters, but on 352 pages there are selfies of Kim Kay. The first 500 copies were sold out within a minute (!!!) after going on sale.

After this, it became clear: Kim Kardashian is an iconic figure of the era. You may not love her, you may envy her, but it is simply impossible to ignore this phenomenon.

I like your style, especially the back view

Until some time, Kim owed her popularity only to her surname. After all, how else could a person without outstanding abilities not only gain attention, but also retain it for so long? Kardashian honestly tried to do serious things. But just taking a selfie of the new self made every iron sound her name. The whole world suddenly began to watch Kim's upgrade. And here it is no longer clear what has become more popular: Kimberly herself or her back side.

In 2014, GQ magazine named Kim Kardashian Woman of the Year. Who would have thought? After all, the short star - only 158 cm tall - and, moreover, overweight by nature (Armenian roots made themselves felt) is far from the modeling canons of beauty. But Kim asked again main question: So what? She always had initially good characteristics: oval face, lips, hair. And everything that Mother Nature lacked will be filled by plastic surgeons.

The Instagram star straightened her nose - she removed the characteristic Armenian imprint, which made her face more aristocratic, and enlarged her breasts (this, by the way, is the only correct thing that she did, even according to cynical doctors, because the voluminous bottom could only be balanced by an impressive bust). She corrected the line of her cheekbones, chin and even hair growth, enlarged her lips, although she refuses to admit it. To all questions, she pretended that she did not understand why her mouth had become so large. She even wrote on her account about her lips that were simply out of control. Kim is accused of pumping out fat, liposuction, regular Botox injections and contouring. But the main subject of controversy is the buttocks.

She achieved popularity with her butt - what is there to hide. In 2009, Kim Kardashian decided to strengthen her rear, and made only one mistake: she had to stop in time. Today, although bulges have become a brand, they scare some people. Heredity is heredity, but plastic surgery obviously could not have happened. By the way, Kim persistently denies this. At one of the shows, she even had to show an x-ray of her buttocks to prove: there are no implants there! But it is possible to create an impressive-looking fifth point without them - with the help of lipofilling. Any beauty surgeon will tell you this.

Kardashian's butt has become a completely autonomous object of attention. Only thanks to her, such a concept as “belfie” appeared (from the English “selfie” - oneself, oneself and “butt” - butt). Buttocks sparkled in the star’s account so often that it became a trend. And the mother of this new fashion, as well as the style trendsetter in general, is Kim.

Three husbands and 72 days of marriage

What kind of personal life can we talk about when Kim’s publicity is off the charts? Moreover, the rules of the game force things to be made public that ordinary people prefer to hide from prying eyes. But Kim is not an ordinary person, but a socialite.

She was married three times. Kim walked down the aisle for the first time at the age of 19. The chosen one was music producer Damon Thomas, and the marriage lasted four years. She claims that she could not stand the family violence, he claims that he is tired of Kim’s infidelities.

After the divorce, Kimberly was seen with football player Ronaldo, American football players Austin and Bush, then famous basketball player Kris Humphries. He became husband number 2. They got married in 2011, but the magnificent wedding with half a thousand guests and a total bill of $10 million turned out to be a public relations stunt. After 72 days, the young wife filed for divorce due to alleged family differences. But the ratings for reality shows about a large family have risen.

Now Kardashian has a third husband, the famous rapper Kanye West, and two children. The performer proposed marriage only after the birth of his daughter North in 2013. The wedding took place a year later and turned into a large-scale feast for the whole world. Even at the pre-wedding party for the newlyweds, Lana Del Rey sang, asking for a fee of $3 million. The couple got married in Paris and went to Florence to celebrate with the guests. Kim changed clothes four times, but the main thing for the bride was the dress from the famous brand Givenchy.

A year later, the family was expecting a new addition. Without undue modesty, the son was named Saint, that is, Saint. And recently it became known that a third child will appear in January 2018. But the doctors categorically forbade Kim to give birth due to serious health problems that could cost her life. So the couple used the service of a surrogate mother. She received $45 thousand for her services, and agency representatives received $68 thousand for monitoring the fulfillment of the contract between famous expectant parents and the woman who is carrying their child. So the show goes on...

Her name evokes admiration and horror. And she does everything to ensure that the public does not forget about Kim Kardashian. By the way, at the end of June 2017, she again proved: everything that the goddess of Instagram touches brings profit, and at 36 she put another checkmate to envious people.

The debut collection of cosmetics, which was released in a trial batch of 300 thousand copies, did not last even three hours on the virtual counter. The queen of contouring kit costs $48. So after basic arithmetic, it becomes clear: Kim has enriched herself by $14 million.
And if you didn't get the cosmetics, take the trouble to find the autobiography "Kardashian Confidential", in which Kim described life path, successes and defeats, and also shared the secrets of style and beauty.

Maybe after reading the phenomenon of Mrs. West will become clearer, and the book will help someone become rich and famous.

Kim Kardashian- the most famous Armenian in the world, American reality TV star, model, actress and designer.
Kimberly (that's her full name) Kardashian was born on October 21, 1980 in Los Angeles. Her mother Chris has Scottish and Dutch roots, and her father Robert belonged to the third generation of American Armenians (in the United States, up to 1.5 million people have Armenian roots).
Kim herself described her roots this way: “I am half Armenian (a quarter Turkish and a quarter Russian), a quarter and a quarter Dutch.” Her great-great-grandfather, who fled the Armenian genocide carried out by the Turks in 1915, had a surname with a Russian ending - Kardashov, which after moving to America acquired a traditional Armenian ending and turned into Kardashian / Kardashian, this surname was borne by Kim Kardashian's grandfather, and her grandmother's maiden name was - Arakelyan.
Despite the fact that 100 years have passed since the flight of her ancestors from their historical homeland, Kim Kardashian has repeatedly demonstrated her Armenian spirit. She appealed to the President and the US government to recognize the Armenian genocide, and came to Yerevan in 2015. That same year, she visited the Armenian Quarter in Jerusalem, where she baptized her daughter in the traditions of the Armenian Apostolic Church. By the way, her great-great-grandfather did not belong to this church, but was a member of the community of Spiritual Christians (a current of Russian religious sectarianism that separated from Orthodoxy). One of the prophets of this community convinced him and his family to flee to America.
Robert Kardashian (Kim's father) was a famous lawyer in the United States. In addition to Kim, the family had three more children: daughters Courtney (born 1979) and Khloe (born 1984), as well as son Rob (born 1987). Two years after the birth of their son, the family broke up because... Robert and Chris divorced. Robert Kardashian died in 2003.

In September 2014, Kim Kardashian again found herself at the center of a scandal. Hackers stole her intimate selfies.

Two months after the scandal with hacked photos, Kim Kardashian posed nude for Paper magazine. The main attention in this photo shoot was focused on Kim's outstanding butt.

Kim's curvy figure gives many people reason to doubt whether this beauty is natural or the result of plastic surgery. Kim denies that she went under the surgeon's knife and even imagined her early photos before the proposed plastic surgery, where she already had decent-sized breasts. At the same time, Kim’s mother, Kris Jenner, does not hide the fact that she had breast augmentation and nose correction in 2011, before her daughter’s wedding.
