The Kardashian Clan Made over $65 Million in 2010

We already knew the Kardashians were the most bankable reality show stars. However, the Kardashian empire extends well beyond reality television – into enough areas to earn them an estimated $65 million in the last year alone.

The Kardashian Inc. is the cover story of the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter, as the photo attached to this article will confirm.

Managed by mom Kris Jenner and relying heavily on daughters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney, the empire branches into fashion, accessories, products and publicity.

As noted above, we all knew that the Kardashians were making a lot of money and that they were basically everywhere: Radar Online now has a piece that will confirm just how much money “a lot” is.

“The Kardashian family is doing something right, because they earned a staggering $65 million last year,” the e-zine says.

This comes from a source who was behind the scenes during the Kardashians’ interview with The Hollywood Reporter, which probably means this figure was thrown around during the sit-down.

“Just to put in perspective how much money the Kardashians made in 2010, it was more than Tom Cruise, Sandra Bullock and Angelina Jolie made combined!” Radar writes.

“According to an insider at The Hollywood Reporter, the Kardashian’s have banked with endorsements, a reality-TV show, Twitter, paid public appearances, fragrance lines, Dash clothing stores and more,” the e-zine says.

They also promote various products, from fitness shoes to beverages and even toilet paper. Whenever a Kardashian makes a public appearance and there are photographers on the scene, somewhere a check is written to their name.

“According to the insider at THR, Kim Kardashian charges up to $25,000 just to mention a brand name in one of her Twitter posts, and she charges anywhere from $100,000 to $250,000 for an event appearance fee,” Radar further says, just to offer fans an idea of how expensive she is.

As for plans for the future for the highest paid clan in showbiz, Kris Jenner says she wants to live to see the day in which “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” their first reality show, premieres season number 26.
