The Kardashian Family Raked in $65 Million in 2010 (A Look at How They Earned So Much)
The Huffington Post reports:
Throwing a party? Kim Kardashian would love to attend — if you’ve got a couple hundred thousand dollars to spare.
The ubiquitous Kardashian family (Kris, Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Robert, Kendall, Kylie and Olympian Bruce Jenner) has taken reality fame to a new level, translating one television show into a veritable branding empire. The Hollywood Reporter, which works to unlock the secrets of the clan in their issue, reports that, in all, the family took in a whopping $65 million in 2010.
But for what?
This Is How The Kardashians Make Their Millions Of Dollars
Their faces — and names — are everywhere, but many don’t quite know what the Kardashians do, exactly. That’s easy: they just live their lives. It’s just that they let everyone else watch in. And then buy.
After their first show, “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” debuted on E! in 2007, the family’s fame soon exploded. Up to that point, the name Kardashian was best associated with OJ Simpson’s defense team (Robert Kardashian, matriarch Kris’ latehusband, defended the ex-football star in his murder trial, much to her dismay) and a sex tape (middle sister Kim’s self-made sex video with Brandy’s brother Ray J nearly exploded the internet in 2004). Now, the name is on everything. Almost literally.
Their television empire has expanded to three — and soon four — TV shows, with “Kourtney and Kim Take New York” currently running and Khloe’s show with husband, NBA star Lamar Odom, set to premiere soon. They have a best selling book, perfumes, a clothing line for Sears and a bevy of other products (listed, in part, below). And it’s all thanks to “momager” Kris, who has worked to expose her six children — and sell them — to a staggering degree.
“I have a blog that has 40 million hits a month,” Kim told the magazine (the sisters have built up their blogs and brand through Twitter, where Kim has over six million followers). “People leave comments: What shoes do you wear, and what lip gloss do you use? My mom told us, ‘So why not be a brand for our fans and give them what they want?’ Many of our ideas [about what to endorse] come from our fans and then our mother makes it happen.”
Make it happen, indeed. Here’s a list of some of their biggest endorsement deals, though, with Twitter advertising and party appearances, it’s nearly impossible to corral them all. Unless your name is Kris.
Television shows: “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” “Kourtney & Kim Take New York,” “Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami,” “Khloe & Lamar”
Best selling book: Kardashian Konfidential
Perfumes: 2 (Kim’s eponymous perfume, Khloe and Odom’s “Unbreakable”)
Fashion lines: Lines for Sears, Dash Boutique, K-Dash for QVC, Kim’s Skechers Shoe, Kim’s Jewelry Line for Bebe
Music: Kim has released a single
Magazines: Kourtney’s baby & Khloe’s wedding each sold for $300,000 to tabloids. They also make near weekly appearances on the covers of tabloids, for which they are paid.
Endorsements: Among many deals, Khloe is the face of weight loss product QuickTrim.
Personal Appearances: Kim commands upwards of $100,000 per appearance; sometimes $1 million internationally
Tweets: Kim can command $25,000 or more for an endorsing tweet.

Why YOU Should Be Using Twitter’s Awesome New Video Feature
This past week, I have spent several hours using the new Twitter video feature.
But probably not in the way you think.
I was responding to people. One by one, individually with the new Twitter video upload. Answering questions in real time. I was listening. And this is why I’m so excited about this new feature.
People respond to effort. When a celebrity favorites your tweet, you’re excited. Someone you admire likes a photo of yours on Instagram, and it makes you feel good. Because it’s not about the 100th of a second it takes to double tap that photo.
It’s about the fact that they looked at your profile. They chose a photo. They saw it. And then they liked. That interaction, which takes all of five or six seconds, really touches a lot of people.
Check it out here:
Twitter has taken it to the next level.
They’ve set up a perfect Thank You Economy situation. I’ve been waiting for something like this, and I’ve wanted it to do it before, but there was too much friction on the platform. Now they’ve done all the work for you, and all you have to do is get in there and engage.
It takes me nine to twelve seconds to make a video and reply, but those extra seconds hold a lot of meaning. Not to mention it’s more personal, visual, and we are living in a world where the visual is often regarded as a better engagement than the written.
There’s also more room to set the tone. A lot of things can get lost in a tweet. I might say “thnx” but that person isn’t 100% sure what my tone really was. But with Twitter video, the message comes across loud and clear.
It’s fifteen seconds of your attention on one person instead of two seconds. You know what that means? We are in control of the one asset that we all give the most f#!ks about: time. Time is so incredibly precious to people. They hate when it’s wasted, and they are impressed when you give them some of your time.
That is what excites me most about Twitter video.
Giving time to people. More time. Personalized time.
And that is awesome.
What’s your thoughts? Have you used this new Twitter feature yet?
