Kanye West may be her Baby Daddy but Kim Kadarshain is anything but a Gold-digger.

A self made businesswoman she has since orchestrated a complete turn around out of a really embarrassing personal event, making the most out of the exposure it provided and when E! offered the opportunity to cast her nad her family in their own Reality Television show she never once looked back.

 Now years- several seasons of Keeping up with the Kardashians later, Kim has long branched out establishing the Kardashain fashion empire Dash alongside her sisters Khloe and Kim.  Keen to build her own fortune independently from her family,  Kim also has her own solo ventures which includes a Jewelry, Perfume, and a Clothing line and serving as As co-founder and chief fashion stylist to the online website ShoeDazzle.

She also has had TV appearances in How I Met Your Mother, and 90210. 

Her current networth is $40 million, and she is paid $80, 000 per episode.

Proving just what ambition can accomplish, the wild, unattainable dream is now a reality for the girl who at 19 tried her hand at retail, at a closet-organzing business. Who made use of ebay, buying and selling fashion items and from then on started designing, piecing together clothing, and later on becoming a stylist for Nicole Richie.

Once known merely as Paris Hilton's sidekick, now the name Kim Kardashian is synonymous with the personal success of a self made woman,
