In the upcoming edition, which is out this weekend, the business mogul, 43, discussed how she has turned SKIMS into a $4billion success.

As the face of the brand, Kim has made her shapewear line a huge empire all over the world since she founded the brand in 2019.

The TV star said: ‘I handle all the visuals, all the ideas, fabrics, fits. I’m the face of this brand’.

Kim looked sensational as she modelled her popular shapewear under a SKIMS figure-hugging dress.

She flashed her ample cleavage and washboard abs while posing against a table of newspapers in the bold shoot.

Teasing the upcoming edition, HTSI wrote on Instagram: ‘Five years after founding @skims, @kimkardashian is sitting on a retail empire with a $4bn market valuation.

‘For this week’s cover story, @mariashollenbarger meets the reality queen-turned-mogul in Los Angeles to unpack how she’s molding a new generation of shoppers’.

Thanks to the success of her business venture, the reality star has a personal net worth of $1.7billion – a far cry from the mere $11million her net worth was valued at when the family’s reality show premiered in 2007.

At the start of her career, a lot of Kim’s wealth stemmed from her 14-year stint on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

The reality star pulled in a tidy $4.5million per season as both executive producer and star of hit E! reality show which ran for 20 seasons.

In 2014, she launched mobile game app Kim Kardashian: Hollywood and it made $1.6million in the first five days after its release. Then 2015 saw the release of her own range of Kimojis.

Another bulk of Kim’s wealth came thanks to her KKW Beauty company.

In 2019, the Product line raked in $100million and she gained $200million by selling a 20 percent stake in the company to Coty, the same company that bought her sister Kylie’s brand.

Her Skims shapewear launched in 2019 and has now become the mother-of-four’s biggest revenue generator.

In 2020, it was valued at a ‘conservative $225million’ and that was the number Forbes used to value Kimat over $1billion for the first time.

Elsewhere, the aspiring lawyer has started a private equity firm, called SKKY Partners, while she also earn up to $1million for a paid Instagram post.

The Kardashian-Jenner family has gone on to star in ‘The Kardashians’ for Hulu, of which there have been three seasons so far.

Reports suggested the Kardashians are earning ‘nine figures’ from the show, or around $16.6 million each.

Though Kim’s wealth bounces up and down through the year – at one point her net worth reached $1.9billion in 2022 before falling to $1.2billion.

However, her net worth now stands at $1.7billion, according to Forbes’ calculations in 2023 following the latest round of funding for Skims.

Kim is on par with her youngest sister Kylie Jenner, battling out to be the wealthiest sister.

When Kylie was first thrust into the spotlight on her family’s reality show she was a sweet and innocent child while Kim was undoubtedly the most famous of the group.

Kim made history in 2014 as the first Kardashian to land a Vogue cover, gracing the American edition with her then-husband Kanye.

Yet 10 years on, her little sister Kylie, 27, has achieved her own milestone,  becoming the first member of the family to appear on the front cover of British Vogue.

Kylie famously made it onto the billionaires list in March 2019 and in 2020 became Forbes youngest ‘self-made’ billionaire for the second year in a row.

She started her make up line in 2015 by selling $29 lipstick kits.

Then in November last year, she sold off 51% of her Kylie Cosmetics brand to beauty brand Coty Inc. for $600 million.

The deal, which closed in January, means her business is now valued at around $1.2 billion. She still solely owns the other 49 percent stake.

The site also reveals that money from the sale means she is one of just 2,095 people in the world with a a fortune of ten digits.
