Born on October 21, 1980, in Beverly Hills, California, Kimberly Noelle Kardashian is the second of four children born to the late Robert Kardashian and his first wife Kris Jenner. In addition to being a well-known lawyer, his father founded Movie Tunes, Inc., a music and marketing organization.
Kardashian’s mother, Kris, focused on her daughter’s career and also paid close attention to the business deals she made with her second child. She and Robert were divorced in 1989. In October 2003, Robert passed away from esophageal cancer.
Her childhood was not like stardom at all. Sunday church attendance was a customary aspect of family life. So the expectation among the Kardashian children was that, once they reached the age of 18, living away from the family with no money was no longer an option.
Kardashian attended a private Catholic high school and worked for her father’s business. When her father died, the entire business fell on Kardashian and his siblings, who then sold it.
Personal sex video
Despite her business endeavors, it was the sex video she made with R&B singer Ray J that catapulted her to superstardom. In early 2007, a video featuring Kardashian and the rapper made it into the hands of a large adult film company, Vivid Entertainment.
Vivid, which had spent $1 million for the 30-minute tape’s rights, extensively publicized the video’s debut under the moniker Kim Kardashian Superstar.
Kardashian’s romantic life has garnered significant attention from the media due to her status as a reality television star. In 2000, at the age of 20, she tied the knot with music producer Damon Thomas.
Kardashian immediately took legal action, fighting the suit for not keeping it confidential. But in May 2007, three months after the video’s release, she agreed to a $5 million settlement.
