Total estimate: $1.9 billion (Forbes, 2026 celebrity billionaires list). The math behind the total: Forbes attributes the bulk of her fortune to her SKIMS stake — just under one-third of a $5 billion company is roughly $1.6 billion — with the remaining few hundred million from her other businesses, cash, and assets (LawFuel, Vietnam.vn).

Methodology

This page estimates Kim Kardashian’s net worth at $1.9 billion as of October 2026, based on Forbes’ 2026 celebrity billionaires list (she ranks #8), corroborated by coverage citing the list in LawFuel and Vietnam.vn. Forbes’ own reporting, summarized by Authority Daily, places her SKIMS stake at just under one-third of the company after the November 2025 round — at the round’s $5 billion valuation (announced by Goldman Sachs), that stake alone is worth roughly $1.6 billion, with the balance from her other businesses, cash, TV earnings and real estate. Her 2025 Forbes billionaires-list figure was $1.7 billion, so the 2026 number reflects growth driven by the higher SKIMS valuation (TryBeem). No retrievable Bloomberg Billionaires Index figure was found. As SKIMS is private, the $5 billion valuation is a negotiated funding-round figure, not a market price, and her exact equity percentage is Forbes’ estimate rather than a disclosed filing — so treat the headline as an estimate, not an audited balance sheet. Figures are refreshed on major financial news; next scheduled review: October 2027.
