In a surprising and rather amusing revelation, Kim Kardashian has shared that her daughter, North, is already following in her business-savvy footsteps.
Kim has revealed how her daughter North “scams” people out of their money at her lemonade stand.
However, it seems North’s entrepreneurial spirit has taken an unexpected and cheeky turn. During an interview with GQ magazine, Kim confessed that North “fully scams” people she knows with her lemonade stand.
North charges strangers $2; but if she personally knows the person, that price jumps to $20.
North, being the progeny of a Kardashian and Kanye West, is not your average child. This seven-year-old maverick has been adding her own unique spin to this age-old tradition. She uses her charm and wit to lure people to buy other items, turning the innocent lemonade stand into a cunning business operation.
North is learning a thing or two from her family about business.
“If a random person stops, she will charge them only $2,” Kim told the magazine. “If she knows you, she will fully scam you. I’ll get calls from my friends saying she charged them $20 for a lemonade. She’ll grab their $20 and say, ‘I don’t have any change.’ ” And according to Kim, she does not merely sell lemonade; she also offers homemade bracelets for an additional cost.
Running her lemonade stand is undoubtedly preparing North for her own billion-dollar empire.
The unsuspecting customers are friends and family, who are more than happy to support North’s lemonade stand and bracelet business, and it seems that North has found a playful way to combine fun and profit, much to the amusement of Kim.
North West is bound to launch her own business, thanks to her mom.
In the world of Kardashians, it’s never too early to start a business empire. North, at the tender age of seven, is being prepared to step into the shoes of an entrepreneur—a role modeled by her mother, who has proven herself to be quite the businesswoman herself.
The mom of four, who has built an empire ranging from reality TV to beauty products and shapewear, is ensuring that North is ready to take on a similar career path.
One thing about Kim is her determination behind all of her business ventures.
Back in March, The U.S. Sun reported how Kim had filed numerous trademarks for her daughter’s forthcoming business. First in line for North’s ventures is a skincare line. Given Kim’s success with KKW Beauty, it’s a logical first step. The idea of a skincare line by North West might raise some eyebrows considering her age; however, it’s clear that she will be guided by experience and expertise and appeal to children.
And Kim knows that her children are next in line.
The other three ventures in planning are still under wraps, per the publication. But knowing the Kardashians’ knack for business, they will likely cover various sectors from fashion to lifestyle and perhaps even tech. The aim seems not just to set up a business but to build a brand around North West—creating a diverse portfolio that mirrors her mother’s.
North West wants to own Skims and Yeezy one day.
In a recent interview with I-D magazine, North West shared her dreams about what she wants to be when she grows up, which surprisingly includes owning Yeezy and SKIMS, her parent’s fashion lines.
Skims and Yeezy are some of the biggest companies in fashion.
Already accustomed to the glitz and glamour of the fashion world, North is clearly setting her sights high. Yeezy, founded by her dad, Kanye West, is a globally recognized brand that designs and sells urban-inspired footwear. On the other hand, SKIMS is a shape-enhancing undergarment and loungewear line that has continued to expand in growth year-to-year.
North is certain about wanting to follow in her mom’s footsteps.
“When I’m like, 13, I want to walk dogs, to make money to buy art supplies, because everything around here is so expensive. So a rapper, a basketball player, and I’m going to make artwork that I sell,” she told the mag. “Also, one day I want to own Yeezy and SKIMS, and I want to be a business owner.”
It’s only a matter of time before North launches her first business.
North has obviously been exposed to both these brands since her early childhood and holds them close to her heart. Her aspiration to own these brands someday is a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit that she has inherited from both sides of her family.
And in case fashion doesn’t work out, North has said that she also aspires to be a basketball player.
But that’s not all. Alongside her dreams of inheriting the fashion empire, North also aspires to be a basketball player. An unusual yet fascinating combination of interests, though basketball seems to hold a special place in her heart, possibly inspired by her family’s close ties with several star players of the NBA. This once again showcases the diverse interests and talents of Kim’s daughter, indicating that she is not just a future fashionista but also a potential sports star.
The future definitely looks bright for North.
While most kids dream of becoming astronauts or doctors, North West’s ambitions reflect a unique blend of her parent’s influence and her individual interests. She embodies the modern girl who can have it all – a successful businesswoman running Yeezy and SKIMS, and a basketball player making her mark in sports.
