Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has added another feather in her cap. The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star is set to cover Forbes' July 26 issue, which credits her as one of the world's "new mobile moguls," in the wake of her massively successful website, game and app.
The cover features Kardashian with her arms crossed and the headline "The New Mobile Moguls" emblazoned on top of her. Shortly after Forbes announced that the reality TV star will grace its next cover, the 35-year-old took to Instagram to share the big news, along with a not-so-subtle dig at her critics who offten claim she does not have any real skills.
The financial magazine reported that Kardashian is no less than a tech guru, as her gaming app, "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood,” has been a huge success. The game has been downloaded 45 million times and generated $160 million in revenue since launching in June 2014.
Out of the revenue, $45 million has been landed directly in Kardashian’s kitty. She also told the publication that when she realized that venturing into the world was her next calling, she consulted her rapper husband Kanye West for a second opinion.
Despite the support from West, Kardashian revealed that she was still sceptical about how her fans will respond to the game, in which she also stars. The players create their own celebrity status by befriending her and working their way onto the A-list.
The game is free to download, but charges for in-game accessories. Within five days of its release, it was declared a huge hit with an earning of $ 1.6 million.
In December 2015, Kardashian released an emojis pack for IOS devices called Kimoji. The paid app has quickly become amongst the top earners for Apple.
Meanwhile, Kardashian was spotted showing off her petite but curvy figure in Los Angeles on July 11, Monday, Daily Mail reported. Sporting her favourite look, she was seen in a skintight pink tank top which left her ample cleavage on display along with a pale taupe pencil skirt with knitted detailing. Watch her in "KUWTK" Season 12 episode 10 below:
