Kim Kardashian: My Celebrity Obsession.

Most people know Kim Kardashian, as the playboy girl with the huge butt, or because of her sex tape with Ray J, but she is much more than that. She is a charitable woman, who with NO college education has done EXCELLENT for herself.

She is the daughter of famous attorney Robert Kardashian, who is most commonly known for his trial with OJ Simpson, and Kris Jenner, now married to Olympic Gold-medalist, Bruce Jenner. With her mother and step-father’s marriage she is one of ten siblings so as you could probably guess that she is very family oriented. This is most easily shown on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” a show on E! that has made her the highest earning reality T.V. star. She is making $40,000 per episode, which allowed her to make over $6 million in 2010.

Kim isn’t only making her money from her reality shows but also from her many other projects; Kim has her own perfume called “Kim Kardashian”, she has a clothing line, a series of workout DVDs called “Fit Into Your Jeans by Friday” which was #1 selling video on Amazon.com, modeling deals, her own jewelry line, a pre-paid credit card endorsement, a tanning product, an iPhone avatar, and even just her presence. She was paid $75,000 last year to show up at a party in Miami, and as weird as it may sound she charged her guests to attend her birthday party last year, yes… I said she charged HER GUESTS to attend her party, anywhere from $1,000 to $2,500.

She also gets paid just for sharing her thoughts with people on Twitter. Kim is making $10,000 per tweet, yes that means with 3 “tweets” a day she is making $30,000, which is CRAZY seeing as how the average ANNUAL salary in the U.S, meaning how much someone makes in a year is $31,410, so she is making in one day what the average American is making in a YEAR!

Kim started out as a fashion stylist and was eventually requested to do infomercials, t.v. shows, music videos, and photo shoots, which lead her to designing her own line. Then in partnership with Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, they opened their own store called Dash.

The three girls also co-design with BEBE. Kim has also started her own online shoe store of affordable shoes called shoedazzle.com.

When Kim’s father passed away he left his $100 million estate to his four children, and no one knows exactly how much each child got or what it is worth now so Kim’s worth is only an estimation, but she is estimated at $12 million. So what does she do with all of that worth?

Kim Kardashian may seem like just a reality TV star that is doing whatever she can to make money and find ways to date famous men, but she is always dedicating time to others. She is VERY

passionate when it comes to charities…

she is the ambassador for the Dream Foundation, which grants wishes of terminally ill adults, and frequently holds auctions on ebay in order to raise money. She recently was photographed wearing bracelets that were made in Africa supporting “Until There’s a Cure” campaign. These bracelets are sold in order to raise money and awareness about HIV/AIDS.

She has also been a part of completing PSA’s about the political plight in Buruma and Breast Cancer Awareness.

Kim definitely loves her fans as well, she is all about keeping them up to date, as mentioned earlier she likes to “tweet” which would make sense as to why she has over 5 million followers on Twitter… & I will admit to being one of them. I <3 her! She boasts over 2.5 million friends on Facebook, which she updates daily. And her official website, kimkardashian.com which receives over 40 million views a month, AKA the fastest growing celebrity blog.

So, she may just seem like the run of the mill celebrity just making her shows & clothes to make her money, but she has always been much more than that to me. I see her as a hero, a woman who with NO college education has made a name forherself. She is family oriented and always showing love to others, and helping those way less fortunate than her, because most people that come from money only care about money, and it means a lot that she cares about others, and sharing her money and herself with everyone around her. Kim Kardashian is someone that everyone can learn something from.
