Earlier this year, The Hollywood Reporter ran an article that explained how the Kardashians made $65 million last year. The breakdown of the ways they make a profit (as a family) is pretty extensive: they have three (soon to be four) shows that air on television, numerous endorsement deals with companies like Sketchers and the QuickTrim weight loss system, several fragrance lines, several clothing lines AND clothing stores, a deal with the fast food chain Carl’s Jr., a partnership with NASCAR, a collaboration with the clothing label Bebe, another endorsement deal with Muscle Flex VATA athletic wear, have manufactured their own jewelry line, are co-owners of the website, ShoeDazzle.com, and have received profits their family’s autobiography, Kardashian Konfidential.
And so since it’s safe to say there aren’t many industries left for the family to infiltrate and conquer, they’ve already started doubling back and expanding on what they’ve already done…and their first move of this kind is going to be coming out with a second book. This time, Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney will be releasing a work of fiction, and it will be called Dollhouse. The novel will hit bookstores on November 1st and is about the “glitzy and glamorous day-by-day happenings” of a celebrity family. Kim elaborated a bit more on her blog last May, saying “The novel is based on our lives but we’ve added a lot of crazy fictional twists and turns. You’ll have to decide for yourself which story lines are true to life, and which ones we dreamed up. LOL.” LOL! Deciphering between the truth and the fiction (wink wink) is going to be so difficult! How ever will we manage?
