Kimberly Kardashian is an American media personality and businesswoman. She rose to fame after the show Keeping Up With the Kardashians went viral. The show followed the high-profile lives of the Kardashian-Jenner family members. Also, Kim became famous because of her relationships, especially because she was married to Kanye West, one of the most successful American rappers.

Aside from the famous American show, Kim also established her name as a successful businesswoman. She owns businesses in multiple fields like clothing and beauty products. However, Kardashian shocked the world when she entered the video game community.

In 2014, Time Magazine ranked second as the most influential onscreen character, while the Marvel superhero was ranked third. Further, the magazine claimed Kardashian’s video game fans spent around $200 million on in-game clothes and jewelry.
