Trial Attorney Donna Spilbor discusses how California law will divide Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s joint assets.
Kim Kardashian – like a few members of her glamorous family – has been deemed a billionaire by Forbes magazine, placing her among the ranks of a handful of Hollywood celebrities to earn the title.
The publication recently bestowed the title of billionaire upon her estranged husband Kanye West, and before that, her sister Kylie Jenner, though that was revoked after a deeper dive into her assets.
In October 2020, Kardashian’s net worth was estimated at $780 million, but just a few months and several hundred thousand dollars later, she’s broken a big barrier thanks to her latest business ventures: KKW Beauty and Skims.
Here’s a look at some other Hollywood stars who have been named billionaires:

West was deemed a billionaire by Forbes in April 2020, which estimated he was worth about $1.3 billion.
The ”Power” rapper, however, contested the number, and told the outlet that he’s worth $3.3 billion.
Furthermore, his exact net worth is muddled by Celebrity Net Worth’s massive estimate of $6.6 billion.

Though contested, at just 23, Jenner is said to be a billionaire.
Forbes originally bestowed the title of “the youngest self-made billionaire ever” in March of 2019.
Just a few months later, the outlet retracted the title, saying that after re-examining the self-inflated numbers provided to them, the star is actually worth just under $900 million. Jenner has stood by the figures she provided to the outlet.
