If growing up in the prestigious neighborhood of Beverly Hills wasn't enough, little 4 year old Kim Kardashian attended the Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California. This school attracts the richest of the rich to this day with an alumni that includes Alyssa Milano and Nicolette Sheridan. Kim Kardashian had fabulous classmates and friends such as multi-billionaire heir, Paris Hilton, and Nicole Richie. We wonder if Kim and Paris had secret meetings to, one day, take over Hollywood during recess…hmm?
We know that this would probably be hard to read or believe, but Kim Kardashian used to work for somebody else, a celebrity at that. In 2004, poor R&B singer and actress Brandy, was named the worst-dressed celebrity which is where Kim Kardashian stepped in and got hired as the singer’s personal stylist in order to save her image. Not only was Kim a personal stylist, she also took on the role of a personal shopper for then-singer Lindsay Lohan. We guess Kim started from the “bottom” and now she’s here.
Kim’s biological father and American attorney, Robert Kardashian, was good friends with O.J. Simpson and acted in Simpson’s defense during his infamous ‘O.J. did it’ trial. It was a huge deal because O.J. Simpson charged with the double murders of Ronald Goldman and Nicole Simpson, O.J.’s wife. Later O.J. got set free of all the charges due to his awesome attorney. This all happened before Kim’s mom got married to Bruce Jenner, so it’s safe to say that Robert Kardashian initially placed the spotlight on his family. Way to go Papa Kardashian!
In October 2007, America changed almost every household’s lives by airing a reality series based on the classified and professional lives of the Kardashian and Jenner family. This show has ballooned Kim’s fame to a different level as it places an even bigger magnifying glass on her daily life. We get to follow her on her dates, glamorous photo shoots, and lavish vacations with her over the top mom, sisters Kourtney, Khloe, Kylie, Kendall, and brother, Robert Kardashian Jr. Forty minutes is all we get to have a glimpse of the rich and the famous.
Six months after her fling with Ronaldo, Kim started dating Kris Humphries, a professional NBA player of the now Boston Celtics. In 2011, Kris presented Kim with one the biggest rocks known to man and asked her to marry him, which they did three months later with the most glamorous, expensive, and publicized wedding to date.
Unfortunately, the marriage ended 72 days later with Kim saying the cause was ‘irreconcilable differences’ and that life as Kris Humphries’ wife was “not ideal”. What a shame. At least they got $18 Million from just the wedding. Cha ching!
