 20 Facts To “Keep Up” With Kim Kardashian, The Queen Of The Selfie

Scandals, media battles, alliterated sisterhood, infamous parents, SELFIES. These are just some of the glorious tid-bits that make up the gargantuan personality of entrepreneur and reality TV star Kim Kardashian West. Read on to capture some of the highlights, as well as the little-known facts, about the second-eldest member of the notorious Kardashian dynasty.

Kim Kardashian Facts

1. Know Your Roots

Kardashian is proud of her Armenian and Scottish descent—though she doesn’t hold citizenship for either country.

2. Virtuous Beginnings

Despite a lifestyle that would make any preacher blush, Kardashian attended Marymount High School, an all-girls Catholic school where students were only eligible to graduate upon the completion of 100 hours of community service.

3. Scandal–It’s In the Blood

Years before the rise of the Kardashian media dynasty, Kim’s father Robert Kardashian was stirring up controversy as O.J. Simpson’s friend and legal representation in the football player’s infamous murder trial.

4. Second Star From the Right, and Straight on ‘Til Morning!

During an interview with People magazine, Kardashian divulged that she once dated Tito Joe Jackson, the nephew of Michael Jackson, as a teen. One of the perks? Being able to celebrate her 14th birthday at Michael Jackson’s renowned personal amusement park, Neverland Ranch. As she described it: “When you drove up, there were baby elephants and chimpanzees in overalls…It was everything you can possibly imagine.”

5. Move Over, Marie Kondo

Before Keeping Up With the Kardashians provided the brunt of her vast income, Kardashian made her money as a closet organizer. This tidying-up business began as a favor to her godmother Bernadette, whose closet was such an unmitigated disaster of clutter that the two spent a whole night cleaning and reorganizing it.

Bernadette passed on the word about Kardashian’s knack, resulting in Kardashian employing her organizational talents to Serena Williams, Cindy Crawford, and Nicole Richie, to name a few.

6. Right Away, Ms. Hilton uKardashian’s case, this involves sticking mostly to the tenets of the Atkins Diet, which promotes eating heavy quantities of proteins, healthy fats, and vegetables.

11. Let Her Eat Cake

Yes, Kardashian likes her Atkins, but she has not completely forgone sweet, sweet carbs. In fact, Kardashian has said, “There’s a myth that eating carbs is bad, but this isn’t true.” So eat bread.

12. The Butler Did It!

Between Keeping up With the Kardashians, multiple business endeavors, public appearances, and a rigorous exercise regime, Kardashian doesn’t have much time to watch TV. But when she does, she favors true crime stories and murder mysteries. The long-running show Dateline NBC is a particular favorite of the celebrity.

13. Another One Bites the Dust

In 2011, Kardashian married basketball player Kris Humphries (and, in true Kardashian style, televised the event.) It was doomed to a heartbreaking end. Ill-informed jokes claimed that the pair were married for 72 days when, in fact, legal disagreements during the divorce caused their marriage to last for over two years.

The courts formally granted the divorce only two months before the birth of Kardashian’s firstborn, North.

14. Music to Her Ears

Kardashian is currently married to singer-songwriter Kanye West. They have four children with names that almost sound like people. Their relationship went public in 2012, but the pair first met in 2003 on the set of a Brandy music video.

15. You Named Her What?

Kim and Kanye now have four children together: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. They didn’t originally plan to name their first child North, but they got inspiration from a very strange place. When both Anna Wintour and Pharrell Williams, who had been hearing rumors, told them that “North West” was a great name, the couple relented. In short, we can blame Vogue’s editor-in-chief for the string of eccentric names.

16. Et Tu, Brute?

After North’s birth, Kim and Kanye reportedly sent pictures of six different infants to many of their closest friends to see who would sell them to the media. Paranoid? Maybe. But the results were chilling. Some of them allegedly wasted no time in trying to sell the photos to major media outlets, thereby outing themselves as traitors. No more guest spots on KUWTK for you.

17. Chill Out, Mom, Everyone Has Nudes

Kim’s infamous nude photos from the shoot for Paper magazine were a spontaneous decision. In fact, they were so very not pre-planned that her mother, Kris Jenner, remained in the dark until the issue went to print—and she was furious. When Kris called her daughter, screaming, Kim’s response was, “Relax; it’s my shoot, my body, my life.”

18. Time Equals Beauty

Kardashian’s hair and make up takes, on average, an hour and a half every day. For special events (e.g.: the Met Gala), it can take up to four hours.

19. Rest in Peace, But Can I Have Your Stuff?

Elizabeth Taylor was an idol of Kim Kardashian’s, so much so that after Taylor’s passing, Kardashian spent £65,000 on Taylor’s jewelry. She also nearly bought Taylor’s former house, but ultimately chalked it up as an unrealistic choice. “It only had a one-car garage.”

20. Vroom Vroom, Beep Beep

Elizabeth Taylor’s one-car garage really wouldn’t have worked for Kardashian, given that she’s something of an automobile aficionado. She also recommends a Rolls Royce for anyone with children because they’re low enough to easily put in a car seat and subsequent infant. Thank you for that very relatable tip, Kim.

called her up and then watched as she barely moved, he told her to “get off my stage.”
