By co-founding SKIMS in 2019 and scaling it to a $4 billion valuation — through genuine product innovation in sizing and shade range, NBA partnerships, and men's expansion — Kardashian built one of direct-to-consumer fashion's fastest-growing brands while simultaneously launching private equity firm SKKY Partners.
Kim Kardashian co-founded SKIMS in 2019 with Jens and Emma Grede, building the shapewear and loungewear brand to a $4 billion valuation with sizes XXS to 5X and an NBA partnership.
She also co-founded SKKY Partners in 2022 with former Carlyle executive Jay Sammons, a private equity firm investing in consumer and media companies. Forbes estimates her net worth at over $1.7 billion.
