follow Forbes, Kim Kardashian is rolling in the dough! Enough to be richer than superstar athlete LeBron James and a surprising number of other superstars.
Kim Kardashian is Rich Rich

Mogul made Forbes relist at #2259 thanks to be part of the millionaire club. Kardashian has made the list for several years in a row now. Forbes described Kardashian as paring “reality TV fame into a ten-figure fortune, much of which came from her stake in Skims, her shapewear business.”
Apparently, Kardashian owes most of her wealth to her shapewear brand. By January 2022, it had generated $240 million. The company is worth $3.2 billion now, which isn’t hard to believe, since Kardashian is constantly promoting it on social media.
He has also stepped up his promotion to include famous celebrities like SZA and actress Megan Fox who he boasts as friends. Although Kardashian is worth $1.2 billion, her earnings are down slightly this year. Still, Forbes says this is until she paid $23 million to keep the family’s Hidden Hills home, which she shares with ex-husband Kanye West.
LeBron James Richer Than Kim Kardashian?

Does this surprise anyone else? James is the biggest name in basketball, and he has a lot of support to draw from. We’re not saying that a $1 billion net worth isn’t great. Looks like LeBron should have more than that now.
This is the professional athlete’s first year on the list, ranking #2540 richest in the world and sharing that spot with many others in the $1 billion category, such as professional golfer Tiger Woods. We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that he’s also the first NBA player still active in the league to make the roster.
The majority of his income comes from endorsement deals. He earned more than $900 million in endorsements from Walmart, PepsiCo, and Nike.
The rest of his moolah comes from being the top linebacker in the league. James has made $431 million from playing with the Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Los Angeles Lakers. Not too bad for a first timer.
Is Tyler Perry Poorer Than Kim K?

One would think that after all those movies and awards would get Tyler Perry past $1.2 billion by now; unfortunately, he’s sitting pretty at $1 billion, first making the list in 2021. He’s tied with Bronny and Tiger, but seeing as the athlete is on the rise, he could be closer to or pass Kardashian by next year.
Perry apparently killed his “Madea” franchise, $660 million to be exact, and that’s after taxes; thank you! He owns 100% of his work, which started in the 90s and also has a studio that opened in 2019 and is constantly growing.
Perry also produced content for Oprah’s OWN network for about seven years, drawing a salary from different side hustles. Most recently, Perry was rumored to be one of those hoping to buy BET and its properties.
Moguls Come To Kim Kardashian’s Place

The mother of four, baby advocate, advocate, fashion designer and muse has a coveted spot on the list, and it’s never safe with brands like Spanx and Sriracha in front of her. Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, is close behind Kardashian at #2405. He jumped up the list in 2020 and continues to rise higher.
According to Forbes, unlike the reality TV star, he has not suffered a decline in sales. Another famous brand that surprisingly didn’t outrank the Kardashians is the hot sauce brand owned by David Tran and his family. Sriracha can be found in many places and has become the universal word for hot sauce.
The brand is worth $1 billion and currently ranks #2540 in the world.
