Kim Kardashian is no stranger to a controversial comment …
But her latest quote may be her most disputed yet!
One fan wrote: “She’s worked at her father’s law firm, organized closets for the other wealthy families, made a tape, rode the coat tails of Paris Hilton, had a reality TV show, then multiple business deals promoting herself and her family…I mean, they say do what you love & you’ll never work a day in your life…haha. I’m just jealous, I wish I had one of those Kardashian jobs. Be myself and make millions. Very fortunate family.!”
“She didn’t work hard. She was born in to wealth and had privileges that she used to accumulate wealth of her own.” another said.
While a third added: “Hard work and Kim K should not be in the same sentence.”
Scroll on to see for yourself…
The Kardashians are a family with a lot going on, to say the least…
It’s pretty hard to keep track of it all!
Most of us have heard of Kim Kardashian…
The forty-one-year-old has broken the internet with her escapades many times.
But you can’t talk about Kim without discussing the rest of the gang.
She comes from one of the most famous families in America, so let’s take a closer look…
Starting off with one of the most important figures in the family, Kris Jenner is infamous for her role as ‘momager’.
She was the catalyst for the family’s reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which launched them all to a new level of fame.
Her first husband was none other than Robert Kardashian, O.J. Simpson’s lawyer in that notorious trial.
Robert married Kris in 1978, but the pair were divorced by 1991.
The sixty-six-year-old had 4 kids with Robert.
Sadly, Robert passed away back in 2003.
Kris and Robert’s eldest child together is none other than Kourtney Kardashian.
The forty-three-year-old is the founder of lifestyle brand Poosh.
Aside from her solo business ventures, she isn’t afraid to partner with her sisters.
She is known to have collaborated with Kylie Cosmetics as well as Kim’s range KKW Beauty.
Kourtney also recently married Travis Barker, drummer in the legendary rock band Blink-182.
The pair married in May of this year, holding 3 different ceremonies in Las Vegas, Santa Barbara and Portofino in Italy.
However, before this, Kourtney had a long on-again-off-again relationship with Scott Disick, ranging from 2006 to 2015.
The pair have 3 children together named Mason, Penelope and Reign.
Fans of Keeping Up with the Kardashians will know Scott well…
This is because he became quite the fixture in the show, and even went on to feature in various spinoffs.
The second oldest of the Kardashian gang is, of course, Kim herself.
It’s fair to say that Kim was the first real breakout star from the family.
Although some might put this catapult to stardom down to her relationship with Ray J…
Their involvement with each other has been forever immortalized in that video…
But that’s enough about that — since then, Kim has proven herself to be a real force.
Aside from her success on social media, the forty-one-year-old has proven herself to be a great businesswoman.
She launched her very own shapewear brand in 2019 called Skims.
Talking to Nordstrom, Kim spoke of where the inspiration for the brand came from: “Any great outfit starts with what’s underneath. If I don’t feel comfortable in my underwear or if it doesn’t fit properly, I am not going to feel good in it, no matter how I look from the outside.”
The brand focuses on body positivity and inclusivity, with a range of shades and sizes available.
Since its launch 3 years ago, the brand has seen huge success, with a valuation of $3.2 billion back in January 2022, as per Forbes.
She also has had success in the beauty industry.
She launched KKW Beauty in 2017, before relaunching the brand as a skincare line called SKKN by Kim earlier this year.
According to Glamour Magazine, people think the rebrand was because of her divorce from Kanye West.
The pair were arguably one of the most high-profile celebrity couples around.
The pair first met in the early 2000s, but they didn’t become an item until 2012.
They married in 2014, but called it quits last year, with Kim filing for divorce in the same month as the KKW rebrand announcement in February 2021.
Kim and Kanye have 4 children together.
They are called North, Chicago, Psalm and Saint.
Then, born in 1980, is the youngest of the Kardashian sisters, Khloé.
The thirty-eight-year-old is known for being one of the most athletic of the sisters.
However, don’t let this trick you into thinking she’s not business savvy too.
Because that is certainly not the case!
Aside from the regular spinoffs, Khloé has produced her own shows too, including Revenge Body with Khloé Kardashian.
The star has also launched her own clothing line called Good American, which is reported to have made $1 million in sales on its very first day!
Khloé was married to NBA player Lamar Odom from 2009 until she filed for divorce in 2013.
The pair tied the knot exactly one month after they met!
The Kardashian then met another basketball player, Tristan Thompson.
They have 1 daughter named True, and a son who was born via surrogacy in July.
However, the pair have a very rocky history, having initially split in 2019 after cheating allegations.
Although the pair rekindled and quarantined together during the pandemic, they split again in 2021.
Then there is the only brother to come out of the Kardashian clan, Rob Jr.
He is known as being one of the most camera-shy members of the family, but he did compete in the thirteenth season of Dancing with the Stars, and came an impressive second.
Rob has found himself in some hot water over the years, particularly in relation to the mother of his daughter, rapper Blac Chyna.
Back in 2017, the thirty-five-year-old was banned from Instagram after sharing explicit photos of his ex after accusing her of infidelity.
As well as the trio of Kardashian sisters, the family extends into the Jenners with the notable addition of Kendall and Kylie.
Kris married Bruce Jenner, who transitioned in 2015, taking the name Caitlyn.
Caitlyn was married to Kris for over twenty years, from 1991 to 2015.
Kris filed for divorce in 2014, citing irreconcilable differences.
However, the pair have 2 children together who are undeniably a key part of the Kardashian collective.
Their kids may be the youngest, but this by no means indicates they are the weakest!
Kendall Jenner is known for modelling career, which has seen her walk runways all over the world.
The twenty-six-year-old has been on multiple magazine covers, including Allure, LOVE, Harper’s Bazaar and even a range of international Vogue editions.
She is undoubtedly one of the most successful models of her generation.
In 2018, she topped Forbes‘ list of the highest-paid models in the world.
Her huge social media following earns her a buck or 2 too!
It is rumored that Kendall charges up to $700,000 for a sponsored post.
The star has dated multiple NBA players, including Blake Griffin.
She also dated Ben Simmons from 2018 to 2020.
Since then, Kendall has been dating basketball Devin Brooker.
However, the pair are reported to have split earlier this year.
The other Jenner sister is none other than Kylie, founder of the iconic beauty brand Kylie Cosmetics.
Although she is the youngest of the sisters, she is the one who has proven herself to have the most entrepreneurial spirit.
Her Kylie Lip Kits are extraordinarily popular.
She first began to sell them in 2014, before Kylie Cosmetics ballooned in size and began to produce a wider range of products.
However, the twenty-five-year-old has faced her fair share of controversy.
Particularly back in 2020 with Forbes’ declaration that she was the world’s youngest self-made billionaire.
The magazine then accused her of foraging tax documents which called her billionaire status into question.
They claimed that her business was worth substantially less than had been made out.
One of the star’s most significant relationships was with rapper Tyga.
Kylie featured in a couple of the musician’s music videos during the time they were together from 2015 to 2017.
The couple have 2 children together.
Stormi was born in 2018, and then they also welcomed a little boy in February this year.
The family is never too far from controversy…
And recently, Kim received the wrath of online critics after she made some controversial comments
“I’ve always felt like I’ve had to work a little bit harder than the average person to get a little bit of respect,” she said, as per BuzzFeed News.
“I come up with all the campaigns.”
“I come up with the materials, the fabrics, the styles. Like, I really do everything.”
“I definitely take a minute to soak it all in, but not too long, because I need to just keep grinding.”
Do you agree?
