Kim Kardashian Built SKIMS into a Multi-Billion Dollar Global Empire 
Celebrity businesswoman Kim Kardashian has been extremely successful with her shapewear and loungewear brand SKIMS. The clothing brand has been valued at a multi-billion level, making Kim one of the wealthiest self-made businesswomen, according to the latest reports on the world’s highest-profile founders. Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS brand was founded in 2019 and has been dominating the underwear and shapewear market with its extreme size inclusivity, neutral colors, and innovative technology.
Kardashian’s approach to the business has been one of the most effective ways of creating wealth. Unlike many of her celebrity peers, Kardashian has been able to retain a significant amount of ownership of the company while enabling it to raise millions of dollars in venture capital funding. SKIMS has been able to scale rapidly from a start-up to a company with a multi-billion-dollar valuation, with clothes sold in stores and flagship stores around the world, including the entire US Olympic team.
In addition, the brand has grown massively, with the introduction of new collections of clothing, including swimsuits and men’s clothing. Kim Kardashian has been one of the few social media celebrities to have leveraged her brand-building to create a highly valuable direct-to-consumer business that has seen the company achieve enormous success and profitability.
