Kim Kardashian, in full Kimberly Noel Kardashian West, (born October 21, 1980, Los Angeles, California, U.S.), American television personality and entrepreneur who garnered international fame for her personal life, much of which was chronicled on the popular reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians (2007–21).

Kim was the second of four children; Kourtney was her elder sister, and Khloé and Robert were younger siblings. Her father, Robert Kardashian, gained national recognition as a member of O.J. Simpson’s legal team during his 1995 murder trial, and her mother, Kris, later served as her manager; after the couple divorced in 1989, Kris married (1991–2014) Olympic gold medalist Bruce (later Caitlyn) Jenner, and they had two children, Kendall and Kylie. In 1998 Kim graduated from high school and subsequently became an assistant to socialite Paris Hilton. During that time she married (2000) music producer Damon Thomas; the couple divorced in 2004. Two years later Kim, along with Kourtney and Khloé, opened DASH, a boutique in Calabasas, California; several other locations were later added.

In early 2007 a sex tape featuring Kim and her then boyfriend R&B singer Ray J was leaked online; she sued the video’s distributor and later received an out-of-court settlement. The attention helped the Kardashian family land a reality TV series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which followed their daily lives, including Bruce Jenner’s later transition into a woman. The show premiered on the E! channel in October 2007 and was a ratings success. All the family members attained varying levels of celebrity, with Kim—who was known for her good looks and curvaceous figure—becoming a pop culture phenomenon. Although some derided her popularity, alleging that she was simply famous for being famous, her canny self-promotion—which also included a strong social media presence—helped create a hugely profitable brand. In addition to endorsement deals, Kardashian was involved in numerous business ventures, including a series of fitness DVDs, a credit card, various beauty products, and a game app that allowed users to create a celebrity. In 2019 she launched the shapewear company Skims. Her immense popularity also led to film roles—she made her big-screen debut in Disaster Movie (2008)—and other TV appearances. She notably starred in the spin-off series Kourtney and Kim Take New York (2011–12). In 2020 Kim and other members of the family signed a production deal with the streaming service Hulu, and the following year Keeping Up with the Kardashians ended.

In the late 2010s Kardashian became involved in prison reform, and, through her efforts, various incarcerated individuals were released. Notably, in 2018 she helped secure a presidential commutation for Alice Marie Johnson, a nonviolent drug offender who was serving a life sentence. In 2020 the TV documentary Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project aired.

Kardashian was a fixture in the tabloids, and much attention was devoted to her relationships. In 2011 she married basketball player Kris Humphries—the ceremony was videotaped and later broadcast on E!—but 72 days later she filed for divorce, which was finalized in 2013. In 2012 Kardashian began dating rapper Kanye West, and their daughter, North (“Nori”) West, was born the following year. In May 2014 Kardashian and West were married. The pair had a second child, son Saint West, in 2015. Their daughter Chicago West and son Psalm West were born in 2018 and 2019, respectively, via a surrogate. In 2021 it was announced that Kim and Kanye were divorcing.

Kars’ın Karakale köyünde yaşayan ve Kim'in kuzeni olduğu öne sürülen Muammer Çopur, köyün nüfus kayıtlarını incelemiş, Kim Kardashian’la kendi büyükannesinin kardeş olduğunu öğrenmiş. 

Dört kuşak öncesinden kuzen olduklarını dile getiren 29 yaşındaki Muammer Çopur, tüm köyün kendisini kıskandığını ve dünyaca ünlü tv yıldızıyla kendilerinin de bir akrabalıklarının olup olmadığını bilmek istediklerini söyledi.

Karslı Çopur'un Kardashian ile akraba olduğu iddiasını, Karakale köyü muhtarı sonradan yalanladı.

Kimberly Noel Kardashian (formerly West;[2] born October 21, 1980) is an American media personality, socialite, model, and businesswoman.

Its success led to the formation of the spin-off series Kourtney and Kim Take New York (2011–2012), Kourtney and Kim Take Miami (2009–2013) and Hulu's upcoming successor The Kardashians (premiering April 14, 2022).

Kardashian developed a significant presence online and across numerous social media platforms, including hundreds of millions of followers on Twitter and Instagram.[4][5][6] She has released a variety of products tied to her name, including the 2014 mobile game Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, a variety of clothing and products, the 2015 photo book Selfish and her eponymous personal app. Her relationship with rapper Kanye West has also received significant media coverage; they married in 2014 and have four children together.[7] As an actress, Kardashian has appeared in films including Disaster Movie (2008), Deep in the Valley (2009), and Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor (2013).

In recent years, Kardashian has focused on her own businesses by founding KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance in 2017.[8] In 2019, she launched shapewear company Skims, which was previously called "Kimono" but changed its name following widespread backlash.[9] Kardashian has also become more politically active by lobbying president Donald Trump for prison reform and lobbying for Alice Marie Johnson to be granted clemency.[10] She has advocated for the recognition of the Armenian genocide on numerous occasions. Kardashian is also planning to become a lawyer by doing a four-year law apprenticeship that is supervised by the legal nonprofit #cut50, which was co-founded by Van Jones.[11][12][13]

Time magazine included Kardashian on their list of 2015's 100 most influential people. Both critics and admirers have described her as exemplifying the notion of being famous for being famous.[14][15][16] She was reported to be the highest-paid reality television personality of 2015, with her estimated total earnings exceeding US$53 million.[17]

Early life and education

Kimberly Noel Kardashian was born on October 21, 1980, in Los Angeles, California, to Robert and Kris Kardashian (née Houghton).[18] She has an older sister, Kourtney, a younger sister, Khloé, and a younger brother, Rob.[19] Their mother is of Dutch, English, Irish, and Scottish ancestry,[20] while their father was a third-generation Armenian-American.[21] After their parents divorced in 1991, her mother married again that year, to Bruce Jenner,[a] the 1976 Summer Olympics decathlon winner.[23] Through their marriage, Kim Kardashian gained step-brothers Burton "Burt", Brandon, and Brody; step-sister Casey; and half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner.[24]

Kardashian attended Marymount High School, a Roman Catholic all-girls school in Los Angeles.[25] In 1994, her father represented football player O. J. Simpson during his murder trial. Simpson is Kardashian's godfather.[26] Kardashian's father died in 2003 of cancer.[27] In her 20s, she was the close friend and stylist of socialite Paris Hilton, through whom Kardashian first garnered media attention.[4][28] Kardashian appeared as a guest on various episodes of Hilton's reality television series The Simple Life between 2003 and 2006.[29]

Career
Early beginnings (1996–2005)

In 1996, at the age of 16, Kardashian began working at Body, a local clothing store in Encino. She had recently totaled her car and before her father would agree to purchase a new one, he insisted that she be responsible for any expenses related to future damages going forward.[30] Kardashian worked at Body for four years, assisting in the opening of the Calabasas location. In 2000, she entered her first marriage and resigned.[31]

By 2003, Kardashian was working as a personal stylist to the R&B singer and actress, Brandy, sister of Ray J. Sonja Norwood, mother and manager to the siblings, stated that in 2004 she had authorized Kardashian to make "one and only one" purchase on her American Express credit card. However, Norwood stated that Kardashian, along with her sisters Khloé and Kourtney, had allegedly made over $120,000 in unauthorized charges, with the bulk attributed to purchases made at Kardashian's family owned boutique in 2006 and 2007, after Kardashian was no longer employed by the singer. Norwood stated that she did not file criminal charges at the request of her children and presented her findings to Kardashian directly who allegedly apologized and promised to repay the accumilated debt. By 2008, no attempts to repay were forthcoming so Norwood filed a civil lawsuit. Kardashian has denied all allegations. In 2009, an undisclosed settlement was reached between the parties and the lawsuit was dismissed.[32][33]

Kardashian had also begun working for socialite and childhood friend Paris Hilton as her stylist and assistant around 2003, appearing in multiple episodes of Hilton and Nicole Richie's reality show The Simple Life.[34][35] Sheeraz Hasan, a PR strategist working with Hilton, met Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner in 2005. Hasan stated in an interview with 20/20 that Kardashian was "ready to do whatever it takes" to create a successful brand. Rick Mendozza, a freelance photographer on assignment for the tabloid TMZ, stated in the same interview that when Kardashian accompanied Hilton to Hyde, a Hollywood hotspot at the time, he continued to get assignments from tabloids to get photographs of Kardashian for the next three years.[36] In 2021, Kardashian said that Hilton "literally gave me a career. And I totally acknowledge that."[37]

Breakthrough with reality television (2006–2009)

Kardashian in 2007

In 2006, Kardashian entered the business world with her two sisters and opened the boutique shop D-A-S-H in Calabasas, California.[38] In February 2007, a sex tape made by Kardashian and Ray J in 2002 was leaked.[39][40] Kardashian filed a lawsuit against Vivid Entertainment, who distributed the film as Kim Kardashian, Superstar. She later dropped the suit and settled for a reported US$5 million, allowing Vivid to release the tape.[3] Several media outlets later criticized her and the family for using the sex tape's release as a publicity stunt to promote their forthcoming reality show.[41][42]

In October 2007, Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, her step-parent Caitlyn Jenner, her siblings Kourtney, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian, and half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, began to appear in the reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians.[43] The series proved successful for E!, and has led to the creations of spin-offs including Kourtney and Kim Take New York and Kourtney and Kim Take Miami.[44] The flagship series concluded in 2021 after 294 episodes. In one of the episodes, Kim discussed an offer from Playboy to appear nude in the magazine.[45] That December, Kardashian posed in a nude pictorial for Playboy.[46]

In 2008, she made her feature film debut in the disaster film spoof Disaster Movie, in which she appeared as a character named Lisa.[47][48] That same year, she was a participant on season seven of Dancing with the Stars, where she was partnered with Mark Ballas.[49] Kardashian was the third contestant to be eliminated.[50] In January 2009, Kardashian made a cameo appearance during an episode of the sitcom How I Met Your Mother, in the episode "Benefits." In April, she released a workout DVD series through her television production company Kimsaprincess Productions, LLC which has seen the release of three successful workout videos, Fit in Your Jeans by Friday, with trainers Jennifer Galardi and Patrick Goudeau.[38][51][52] Kardashian played Elle in four episodes of the television series Beyond the Break.[53]

Kardashian became a guest host of WrestleMania XXIV and guest judge on America's Next Top Model in August of that year.[54] In September, Fusion Beauty and Seven Bar Foundation launched "Kiss Away Poverty", with Kardashian as the face of the campaign. For each LipFusion lipgloss sold, US$1 went to the Foundation to fund women entrepreneurs in the US.[55] The following month, she released her first fragrance, self-titled "Kim Kardashian."[56][57] In December 2009, Kardashian made a guest star appearance on CBS's CSI: NY with Vanessa Minnillo.[58][59]

Early endorsements (2010–2013)

In 2010, Kardashian ventured into several new endorsement deals, including endorsing various food products for Carl's Jr.[60][61] In April, Kardashian sparked controversy over the way she held a kitten for a photograph, holding it by the scruff of its neck.[62] With sisters Kourtney and Khloé, Kardashian is involved in the retail and fashion industries. They have launched several clothing collections and fragrances. Animal rights organization PETA criticized Kardashian for repeatedly wearing fur coats, and named her as one of the five worst people or organizations of 2010 when it came to animal welfare.[63] June saw Kardashian guest star with Khloé and Kourtney as themselves on the season three premiere episode of the series 90210.[64]

Kardashian backstage at The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection, 2010

On July 1, 2010, the New York City branch of Madame Tussauds revealed a wax figure of Kardashian.[65] In November, Kardashian served as producer for The Spin Crowd, a reality television show about Command PR, a New York City public relations firm, run by Jonathan Cheban and Simon Huck. The show followed them as they settle into their new offices in Los Angeles. That month, she also appeared on season ten of The Apprentice.[66][67] Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé wrote an autobiography titled Kardashian Konfidential, which was released in stores on November 23, and appeared on New York Times's Best Seller List.[68]

In December 2010, Kardashian filmed a music video for a song titled "Jam (Turn It Up)". The video was directed by Hype Williams; Kanye West makes a cameo in the video.[69] Kardashian premiered the song during a New Year's Eve party at TAO Las Vegas on December 31, 2010.[70] The song was produced by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart. When asked if an album was in the works, Kardashian replied, "There's no album in the works or anything—just one song we did for Kourtney and Kim Take New York, and a video Hype Williams directed, half of the proceeds we're giving away to a cancer foundation, because The-Dream's and one of my parents passed away from cancer. It's just all having fun—with a good cause".[71] Jim Farber, writing for the Daily News, called the song a "dead-brained piece of generic dance music, without a single distinguishing feature", and suggested that the single made Kardashian the "worst singer in the reality TV universe".[72]

That month, the International Business Times reported that Kardashian's 2010 earnings were the highest among Hollywood-based reality stars, estimating them at $6 million.[73][74]

In April 2011, Kardashian released her third fragrance "Gold".[56] In March 2012, Kardashian debuted her fourth fragrance, titled "True Reflection", which she worked with the company Dress for Success to promote.[75] In April, E! renewed Keeping Up with the Kardashians for two additional seasons, in a deal reported to be worth $50 million.[76][77] In November 2011, she released a novel Dollhouse along with sisters Kourtney and Khloe.[78] In October 2012, Kardashian released her fifth fragrance, "Glam", which was made available through Debenhams.[79] In summer of 2012, Kardashian and her family filmed a music video in the Dominican Republic to Notorious B.I.G's song "Hypnotize".[80]

In the romantic drama Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor (2013), produced, written, and directed by Tyler Perry, Kardashian obtained the role of the co-worker of an ambitious therapist. While the film was a moderate box office success, with a worldwide gross of US$53.1 million,[81] critical response was negative and Kardashian won the Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actress.

Focus on social media (2014–present)

Kardashian in September 2014

Kardashian appeared on the cover and in a pictorial in Paper's winter 2014 issue, photographed by Jean-Paul Goude.[82] On the cover, her nude buttocks are featured above the caption: "Break the Internet", which generated considerable comment in both social and traditional media.[83][84] A Time magazine writer commented that, unlike previous celebrities' nudes that represented the women's rebellion against repressed society and "trying to tear down" barriers, Kardashian's exhibition was "just provocation and bluster, repeated images that seem to offer us some sort of truth or insight but are really just self serving. We want there to be something more, some reason or context, some great explanation that tells us what it is like to live in this very day and age, but there is not. Kim Kardashian's ass is nothing but an empty promise."[85] However, the stunt "set a new benchmark" in social media response,[86] and Paper's website received 15.9 million views in one day, compared with 25,000 views on an average day.[87][88]

In June 2014, Kardashian released a mobile game for iPhone and Android called Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. The objective of the game is to become a Hollywood star or starlet.[89] The game supports a free to play model, meaning the game is free to download, but charges for in-game items.[90] The game was a hit, earning US$1.6 million in its first five days of release.[90] In July, the game's developer Glu Mobile announced that the game was the fifth highest earning game in Apple's App Store.[90] Kardashian voiced the role of an alien in an episode of the adult animated series American Dad!, in season 11 (2014–15) in the episode titled "Blagsnarst, A Love Story" on September 21, 2014.[91][92] In May 2015, Kardashian released a portfolio book called Selfish, a 325-page collection of self-taken photos of herself.[93] In December 2015, Kardashian released an emoji pack for iOS devices called Kimoji.[94] The app was a best-seller, becoming one of the top 5 most bought apps that week.[94] In August 2015, Kardashian was the cover model for Vogue Spain.[95]

As of November 2016, as per CBC Marketplace and interviews with celebrity endorsement experts, Kim Kardashian was paid between $75,000 and $300,000 for each post that she made on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter endorsing beauty products like waist trainers, teeth whiteners as well as Coca-Cola and well-known charities. Experts think that celebrities offer fake glimpses into their lives to make viewers fall for their advertising pitches, curated to look as though the viewer is catching them in a spontaneous moment when they are mostly staged.[96]

By 2018, according to Business Insider, Kardashian was charging $720,000 per Instagram post. Even though engagement data indicates that her posts are worth slightly less,[97] she is regularly making headlines and this allows her to demand a premium above any calculated Instagram sponsored post price. Kardashian made a cameo appearance in the heist film Ocean's 8, which was released on June 8, 2018.[98][99] In 2019, Kardashian appeared at the Met Gala with her figure hugging corset-induced Thierry Mugler dress.[100][101] She hosted Saturday Night Live in October 2021 and in her monologue, she made fun of her estranged-husband Kanye West, her mom's ex-husband Caitlyn Jenner, her sisters, O.J Simpson and others.[102]

Personal life
Relationships

Kardashian with ex-husband Kanye West in 2019

In 2000, 19-year-old Kardashian eloped with music producer Damon Thomas.[103] Thomas filed for divorce in 2003. Kardashian later blamed their separation on physical and emotional abuse on his part[104] and said she was high on ecstasy during the ceremony.[105] Prior to the completion of her divorce, Kardashian began dating singer Ray J.[103]

In May 2011, Kardashian became engaged to NBA player Kris Humphries, then of the New Jersey Nets, whom she had been dating since October 2010.[106] They were married in a wedding ceremony on August 20 in Montecito, California.[107] Earlier that month, she had released her "wedding fragrance" called "Kim Kardashian Love" which coincided with her own wedding.[56][108] A two-part TV special showing the preparations and the wedding itself aired on E! in early October 2011, amidst what The Washington Post called a "media blitz" related to the wedding.[109] After 72 days of marriage, she filed for divorce from Humphries on October 31, citing irreconcilable differences.[110] Several news outlets surmised that Kardashian's marriage to Humphries was merely a publicity stunt to promote the Kardashian family's brand and their subsequent television ventures.[111] A man professing to be her former publicist, Jonathan Jaxson, also claimed that her short-lived marriage was indeed staged and a ploy to generate money. Kardashian filed a suit against Jaxson, saying his claims were untrue, and subsequently settled the case that included an apology from Jaxson.[112] A widely circulated petition asking to remove all Kardashian-related programming from the air followed the split.[113] The divorce was subject to widespread media attention.[114]

Kardashian began dating rapper and longtime friend Kanye West in April 2012, while still legally married to Humphries.[115] Her divorce was finalized on June 3, 2013,[116] Kardashian and West became engaged on October 21, Kardashian's 33rd birthday,[117] and married on May 24, 2014, at Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy.[118] Her wedding dress was designed by Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy[119] with some guests' dresses designed by designer Michael Costello.[120] The couple's high status and respective careers have resulted in their relationship becoming subject to heavy media coverage; The New York Times referred to their marriage as "a historic blizzard of celebrity".[7] In January 2021, CNN reported that the couple were discussing divorce[121] and on February 19, 2021, Kardashian officially filed for divorce.[122] In April 2021, they both agreed before court that they would end their marriage due to "irreconcilable differences" and agreed to joint custody of their four children. They also agreed that neither of them need spousal support.[123] In February 2022, Kardashian filed a complaint to the Los Angeles Superior Court, asking for a quicker proceedings in the divorce from West, saying that West was trying to delay it and saying that "Mr. West, by his actions, has made it clear that he does not accept that the parties’ marital relationship is over."[124] Kardashian was declared legally single on March 2.[125]

Kardashian began dating actor Pete Davidson in November 2021.[126][127]

The ceremony took place at the Cathedral of St. James.[130] Khloé Kardashian was appointed the godmother of North.[131] In October 2019, Kim baptized her three younger children at the baptistery in the Etchmiadzin Cathedral complex, Armenia's mother church.[132][133] Psalm was given the Armenian name Vardan, Chicago received Ashkhen and Saint received Grigor.[134]

Kardashian has publicly discussed difficulties during her first two pregnancies. She experienced pre-eclampsia during her first, which forced her to deliver at 34 weeks. With both pregnancies, she suffered placenta accreta after delivery, eventually undergoing surgery to remove the placenta and scar tissue.[140][141] After her second pregnancy, doctors advised her not to become pregnant again;[142] her third and fourth children were born via surrogacy.[141][143] Kardashian has also spoken about her psoriasis.[144]

In May 2021, it was reported that Kardashian had tested positive for COVID-19 in November 2020. She confirmed this report[145] but denied reports that she caught the disease after hosting a party at a private island.[146]

Wealth

In May 2014, Kardashian was estimated to be worth US$45 million.[147] In 2015, Forbes reported she had "made more this year than ever as her earnings nearly doubled to $53 million from 2014's $28 million", and reported that she "has monetized fame better than any other".[148] Much of her income includes wholesale earnings of the Sears line, the Kardashian Kollection, which brought in $600 million in 2013 and the Kardashian Beauty cosmetics line, Kardashian-branded tanning products, the boutique-line DASH, as well as sponsored social media posts which are collectively worth $300,000–500,000 per post.[149][150] As of July 2018, Kardashian is worth US$350 million.[151] Combined with husband Kanye West's net worth of $1.3 billion,[152] their total household net worth is an estimated $510 million, making them one of the richest couples in the entertainment industry.[153][failed verification] Kardashian does not receive alimony payments from either of her first two marriages.[154] On April 6, 2021, Forbes estimated Kardashian's net worth at US$1 billion.[155][disputed – discuss]

Paris robbery

On October 2, 2016, while attending Paris Fashion Week, Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in the apartment where she was staying. Five individuals, dressed as police officers, bound and gagged her, then stole $10 million worth of jewelry.[156] The thieves got in her residence by threatening the concierge. Once they accessed Kardashian's room, they held a gun to her head, tying her wrists and legs and wrapping duct tape around her mouth as a gag.[157] Kardashian, who was placed in the bathtub, was physically unharmed and reportedly begged for her life.[158][159][160] She managed to wriggle her hands free from the plastic ties around her wrists and scream for help. The thieves escaped.[161] On October 6, 2016, it was revealed that filming for the next season of Keeping up with the Kardashians had been placed "on hold indefinitely" after the robbery.[162]

After the robbery was announced, several critics expressed skepticism about whether it was staged or not, with some even drawing comparison to Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte's recent false robbery claim.[163][164] On October 10, 2016, a video was released showing Kardashian immediately after the robbery, as police began conducting their investigation. In the video, she is seen using the cell phone that she had reported stolen, and did not have any of the markings she claimed from being bound by her captors, prompting more questions as to whether or not the events were staged.[165] In response, Kardashian filed lawsuits against several media outlets the following day, and secured a gag order to get the video removed from any articles due to it being part of an active police investigation.[166][167][168] On October 25, 2016, Kardashian dropped the lawsuit, prompting more criticism that the robbery was a ploy to generate media attention.[169][170] Production resumed on Keeping Up with the Kardashians on October 26.[171]

On January 9, 2017, French police detained 17 persons of interest for questioning in the robbery case.[172] Later in 2017, 16 people were arrested for their alleged involvement.[173] It was revealed in 2020 that French prosecutors would seek trial for 12 of the suspects.[174] The suspects who allegedly entered her room were of, or near, senior age and were named the 'Grandpa Robbers' by the press.[175] In 2021, the suspects were still awaiting trial with at least one of the five who entered Kardashian's room reportedly set to plead no contest to the charges.[176]

Other ventures
KKW Beauty and Skims

In June 2017, she launched her beauty line, KKW Beauty,[177] and in November 2017 she launched her own fragrance line, KKW Fragrance.[178] In June 2019, Kardashian launched a new range of shapewear called "Kimono". Kardashian was heavily criticized over the name of the brand, which critics argued disrespected Japanese culture and ignored the significance behind the traditional outfit. Following the launch of the range, the hashtag #KimOhNo began trending on Twitter and the mayor of Kyoto wrote to Kardashian to ask her to reconsider the trademark on Kimono. In response to public pressure, in July 2019, Kardashian announced that she would change the name.[179] However, Japanese trade minister Hiroshige Seko stated that he would still be dispatching patent officials for a meeting at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and that Japan would keep an eye on the situation.[180] She later replaced the shapewear company to the name Skims.[181] In June 2021, Kardashian revealed that her brand Skims would provide undergarments, loungewear and pajamas and other clothing items with American flags and the Olympics rings with a Team USA branding printed on them to the Team USA at the 2020 Summer Olympics and Paralympics.[182] In October 2021, it was announced that luxury fashion house Fendi would do a capsule collection with Skims.[183]

Activism

During an interview with Caity Weaver of GQ for the July 2016 issue, Kardashian described herself as a Democrat, and declared support for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.[184]

Kardashian in front of the Armenian genocide memorial in Yerevan, Armenia in October 2019

Kardashian has expressed pride in her Armenian and Scottish ancestry.[185][186] She is not a citizen of either Armenia or the United Kingdom and does not speak Armenian.[187] She has advocated for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide on numerous occasions and encouraged President Barack Obama and the United States government to consider its acknowledgement.[188][189][190] In April 2015, Kardashian traveled to Armenia with her husband, her sister Khloé, and her daughter North and visited the Armenian Genocide memorial Tsitsernakaberd in Yerevan.[191] In April 2016, Kardashian wrote an article on her website condemning The Wall Street Journal for running an advertisement by FactCheckArmenia.com denying the Armenian Genocide.[192] During her visit to Armenia in 2019, she stated that she "talk[s] about [the Armenian Genocide] with people internally at the White House". However, she added that she hasn't "had a private conversation" with President Donald Trump about it.[193] In 2020, Kardashian condemned the actions of Azerbaijan in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and expressed her support to Armenia and the Republic of Artsakh.[194][195] In April 2021, Kardashian wrote a letter to President Joe Biden thanking him for officially recognizing the Armenian Genocide, thus becoming the first ever US president to do so.[196]

Kardashian has also worked in the area of prison reform, advocating for the commutation of the sentence of Chris Young and also of Alice Marie Johnson, a woman who received a life sentence for a first-time drug offense as the leader of a major cocaine ring in Tennessee[197][198][199] which was granted by President Donald Trump in June 2018.[200][201] Along with Van Jones and Jared Kushner, she was instrumental in persuading President Trump to support the First Step Act, which enacted major reforms in the US prison system. Van Jones later stated that without Kardashian, the act would have never passed because it would not have received the president's support. It was later passed by a great majority in the US Senate.[202][203][204]

In early 2019, Kardashian largely funded the 90 Days to Freedom campaign, an initiative to release nonviolent drug offenders from life sentences by attorneys Brittany K. Barnett and MiAngel Cody.[205] The effort resulted in 17 persons being released under provisions of the First Step Act.[205] Kardashian was widely credited for the success of the campaign in media headlines.[206] Commentary on her involvement ranged from praise, to assertions that it was a public relations stunt, to accusations that she was taking the credit for work she did not do.[205] In a Facebook post from May 7 of that year, Barnett commented on the divisive and underfunded nature of the "criminal justice reform space", adding, "Kim linked arms with us to support us when foundations turned us down. We and our clients and their families have a lot of love for her and are deeply grateful for her."[207][208]

In April 2019, Vogue reported that Kardashian was studying to pass the bar exam; instead of attending law school, she is "reading law".[209] In 2021, Kardashian said she had failed her first-year law exam (the baby bar) for a second time, performing "slightly worse" than her first attempt earlier in the year.[210][211] In December 2021, she passed the "baby bar" law exam on her fourth attempt.[212]

In January 2017, she tweeted a table of statistics that went viral, highlighting statistics that show that gun violence in the United States kills 11,737 people annually while terrorism in the United States kills 14 people annually. In January 2018, the World Economic Forum awarded it the "International Statistic of the Year" for 2017.[213]

On a trip to Uganda in October 2018, she and her husband met with President Yoweri Museveni. They had a press conference, and Kanye talked about tourism in Uganda. They were criticized for meeting Museveni due to his being a dictator and his recent crackdown on the opposition and the Ugandan LGBT community.[214][215][216]

On October 10, 2020, Kardashian announced she donated $1 million to Armenia Fund, a humanitarian organization that supports Armenia's development. She also had previously posted messages on social media in support of Artsakh due to the recent war that broke out between Artsakh and Azerbaijan regarding the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.[217] She also urged followers to donate too.[218]

Kardashian has also contributed to private GoFundMe causes, especially of people affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.[219] In September 2021, she donated $3,000 to a mother of four who had lost her husband to COVID-19 and was about to be evicted from her home.[219]

On November 20, 2021, it was reported that Kardashian and the English soccer club Leeds United F.C. had financially helped female Afghan soccer players to make their way to England. The women and girls had escaped Afghanistan following the Taliban takeover, but were stranded in Pakistan.[220][221]
