Net Worth Details:
Robert Kardashian sr net worth: $30 million
The late Robert Kardashian was born in Los Angeles in 1944. He attended the University of Southern California where he met O.J. Simpson and befriended him. Kardashian was the waterboy for the football team that O.J. Simpson was an integral member of. Kardashian went to law school at the University of San Diego. He practiced law for a decade before founding "Radio & Records," a trade publication in 1973. He sold the publication for a considerable profit in 1979. Kardashian also came up with the idea of playing music as filler in movie theaters. The idea proved to be profitable, and he started a company called Movie Tunes based on this premise. Robert Kardashian then connected with his old friend from college, OJ Simpson, to start a frozen yogurt company called Juice, Inc. They eventually started a music video production company called Concert Cinema. During this time, the Kardashian family and the Simpson family became extremely close, and a sense of loyalty was established between the two households. OJ was so close to Robert Kardashian that he served as the best man at the latter's wedding. Then, in 1994, Simpson allegedly murdered his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman and Simpson turned to his old college friend for representation in the murder trial. Robert died on September 30, 2003.
Kris Jenner net worth: $140 million
In 2007, Kris Jenner had an idea. She met with Ryan Seacrest and pitched him the idea for a reality show that would feature Kris and her kids. She was re-fashioning her girls as celebrity influencers. Kris got the idea for the show from producer Deena Katz, who was friendly with Jenner and her kids and saw entertainment value in a show centered on her eccentric clan. Seacrest had his own production company and sent a cameraman to capture the family in their natural habitat home life. He reviewed the footage and decided to move forward with the project, keeping the popular MTV show "The Osbournes" in mind as an inspiration. From there, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" was born.

Kylie Jenner net worth: $700 million
We first began tracking Kylie's wealth in November 2011. At the time we estimated that the then 14-year-old had a net worth of $300 thousand. In June 2013 we raised our estimate to $2 million. By mid-2014 her net worth had doubled to $4 million. She first crossed $10 million in July 2016. Kylie's net worth started to skyrocket around mid-2017. In June 2017 we pegged her net worth at $50 million. In July 2018 we raised that number to $200 million. As of mid-2019, we estimated her fortune at $300-400 million, much of which is paper-wealth based on the value of Kylie Cosmetics. The vast majority of her net worth comes from her company Kylie Cosmetics. In November 2019, Kylie sold 51% of her company to Coty Inc. for $600 million. Valuing the company as a whole at $1.2 billion. As of May 2020, that value has declined significantly. Kylie definitely earned around $340 million after taxes from the sale, but the value of her remaining 45% stake in the brand has gone down significantly.
Kylie has a daughter, Stormi, with rapper Travis Scott.
