The Kardashians Made $65 Million in 2010
Kim KardashianAccording to a report by ‘The Hollywood Reporter’, the Kardashian sisters could probably buy the entire Silly Bandz bracelet empire with the profit they made in 2010: $65 million. Between their multiple reality TV shows, brand endorsements, product lines, public appearance fees and more, it makes sense this power family raked in so much cash. And many attribute the family's success to Mama Manager Kris Jenner's business savy outlook. "Look at Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg...Two guys that didn't finish college ended up billionaires. Sometimes just raw energy and intelligence wins out," said Kris's friend Scott Sassa. Khloe Kardashian chimes in: "My mother has just always been this 'Let's make water into wine' person. She knows how to take one small talent or ability and grow it into something huge." Kris Jenner says she had enough confidence in her daughters' appeal to encourage them to just let their true personalities shine on the reality TV series Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

"Not only do we not have filters running through our brains, we don't edit ourselves...The scene where Kourtney's boyfriend, Scott Disick is shoving money down the waiter's throat, that was hard to watch. But I said: 'Leave it alone. Just show it. It'll be fine.' I've said that every single time. And it's served me well from a business point of view," she said.

Although some say the Kardashians are successful for no reason or maybe it's for too many reasons, Kris put it bluntly: "My job was trying to take my kids' 15 minutes and turn it into 30."

Kardashian sisters sued for $75 mn
Kim-Khloe-KourtneyThe Kardashian sisters - Kim, Khloe and Kourtney - have been sued for $75 million in debit card damages. The sisters, along with mom Kris Jenner, are being sued by The Revenue Resource Group (RRG) for breach of contract after they pulled out of promotional duties stemming from the launch of their branded prepaid debit card. Their MasterCard-branded card was cancelled just weeks after its November launch because it carried "outrageous" fees, and prompted the Attorney General of Connecticut to open an investigation. In a statement released Nov 29, the Kardashians’ lawyer said: "The Kardashians have worked extremely long and hard to create a positive public persona that appeals to everyone, particularly young adults. Unfortunately, the negative spotlight turned on the Kardashians as a result of the attorney general’s comments and actions threatens everything for which they have worked."

Now, the company that licensed the Kardashians’ images is taking the family to court for reneging on their two-year deal to promote the plastic.

"The company waited a month to file hoping this would work out. They didn’t want to sue," said RRG head attorney Scott Rudd. He added that the terminated deal and associated negative publicity has "effectively put this company out of business".

Kardashian sisters growing as designers
Khloe KardashianAmerican television personality Khloe Kardashian says she and her sisters Kim and Kourtney are all growing and getting more confident as designers. The Kardashian sisters have their own range of clothes, swimwear and accessories, and Khloe says all three of them are comfortable with their work. "I think every time we have a new collection, our stuff gets better and better because we get more comfortable designing and they get more comfortable with letting us design. It’s just a really fun collaboration," she says.

"We make sure at least two of us are at every meeting, at least two of us have to agree. If there is three of us and one doesn’t agree but two do, then we outweigh each other," she adds.
