And where did you get that figure? I'm curious as to its veracity because even Drake and Lil Wayne, who probably do more in one month than all of the Kardashians do in three months didn't make $40 million combined. Please provide a source.
Ah actually my first guess was a little shy, they made 65 million in 2010.
And I can assure you that Drake and Lil' Wayne combined don't do more then the Kardashians.
Let me break some of it down for you....
They practically have their own reality TV empire. 4 shows(including the new Khloe/Lamar show) that are very successful.
They have a best selling book.
They have perfumes, fashion lines, and their own stores.
I think you and I both know that they're constantly on the cover of tabloids, they get paid good money for each one.
Then a huge chunk comes from their appearances. You know how you always see these girls at clubs and shit? Well Kim alone has a minimal charge of $100,000 to appear at a club. She's even been paid 1 million for international appearances.
Then there's endorsements and twitter. Because Kim has like 6 million twitter followers she can get paid over 25K just to say something like "I'm drinking a Coke right now", or " I love[enter product here]"
I love how some people like to sit around and hate on these girls and say stuff like "they have no talents, they do nothing, why are they famous?".
lol.
