We’ve seen them for so long, they’re so iconic, and yet their real life is anything but.
Here are 10 reasons why we’re all obsessed with them.
1.
The Kardashians have the worst names.
The Kardashian clan started as an offshoot of Kourtney Kardashian’s family, but since then they’ve been forced to live in secrecy.
While it’s true they’re in their 20s and 30s, the reality star has always been careful to hide their identity.
“I was born on April 19th, 1995, and that’s the day I got married,” Kim told PEOPLE in an interview in 2016.
“It was not a secret.”
They even decided to get married at a time when they didn’t know how to pronounce the name of the country where they live.
2.
The Kims are all so young.
In their time of fame, Kim and Kanye West are just 13 years old.
Even though they’re married, they still haven’t officially entered their 30s.
They’re both married to Kanye, but they’re also parents to their son, who is also in his teens.
“The Kardashians are still in high school,” a source told Us Weekly.
“Kim is still in the process of growing up.”
3.
They live with their mom, who’s an expert cook.
As of 2015, Kim’s husband Kanye West was a certified master of food-making.
In 2015, the two of them reportedly spent $100,000 on their own cookbook and spent $1 million on catering.
4.
They have the longest-running TV show in the world.
Since their debut, the Kardashian family has gone on to become a staple in the TV landscape.
They started their own talk show in 2010 and have continued to broadcast their shows through their various social media platforms.
They also have a podcast, which they also launched.
5.
They get paid $1.2 million per episode.
In 2018, the family reportedly earned $1,225,000 per episode, according to Forbes.
Kim and West are both on the show, so they’re pretty much guaranteed to be making at least $1million per episode if they’re not doing something other than entertaining the masses.
6.
They are always on the cover of People.
Kim’s first cover was in 2010, and her cover photo has become one of the most recognizable in the business.
In 2013, her father Kanye West became the first to be crowned a People’s Person of the Year, and his cover photo became one of her most-loved images on the internet.
7.
They’ve also become the subject of much controversy.
In 2014, the Kardashian family was embroiled in a scandal involving Kim’s sister, Kim Kardashian, who allegedly had an affair with Kanye West in the 1990s.
While the Kardash’ relationship with Kim Kallen has been largely settled, the scandal is still being investigated by authorities.
8.
Kim Kardashian’s children have always been good parents.
The three eldest daughters, Kylie Jenner, Khloe Kardashian and Kim Kardashian West, have always had a positive relationship with their parents, but Kim has been one of their biggest critics, even though they’ve always been very accepting of her.
“My oldest child, who I love dearly, has been very kind and supportive,” Kim said in 2017.
“She has been so supportive of me and my life.”
9.
The family owns a lot of real estate.
In a 2014 interview with Us Weekly, Kim said she’s been selling her real estate assets, and in 2017, she and Kanye sold a large home in Los Angeles for $5.5 million.
Kim also recently sold a luxury condo for $3.8 million in New York City.
10.
Kim has a really sweet daughter.
In 2016, Kim revealed that her son, Kylah, is her “heart.”
While she didn’t name her daughter’s name, Kim did say she feels “strongly connected” to her child.
“Kylah is an angel in my heart,” Kim tweeted.
“So much love, so much happiness, so many blessings for so many beautiful people and people who love her.
My heart is so heavy.
Thank you for sharing your love and strength with me.”
