Momager Money! Kris Jenner’s Net Worth Is Just as Insane as You Think It Is
The original momager! Kris Jenner is no stranger to a lucrative deal — and she’s worth an incredible $170 million as a result, according to Celebrity Net Worth. But how did the Kar-Jenner matriarch accumulate so much coin over the years? Between her own business dealings and those of her five famous daughters, here’s a breakdown of the reality TV mogul’s earnings.
Kris Is the Brain Behind So Many Reality Shows
In 2007, the proud mama pitched Keeping Up With the Kardashians to producer and host Ryan Seacrest — and the rest is history. The show came to an end in 2021 and had 20 majorly successful seasons under its belt. Kris is, unsurprisingly, was executive producer on the series.
She also served as an executive producer on several spinoff series, including Kourtney & Kim Take Miami, Kourtney & Kim Take New York, Khloe & Lamar and three episodes of Rob & Chyna. She also executive produced her own spinoff, Kris, in 2013. She also became an executive producer on Kirby Jenner, a spinoff series on the now-defunct Quibi app about Kendall Jenner‘s fictional twin brother.
However, Kris cut her most lucrative TV deal with Disney, which landed the famous brood’s show The Kardashians on Hulu. The family reportedly inked a nine-figure deal to move their content to the streaming service, Variety reported at the time. Khloé Kardashian told the outlet that all members of their family are “equals” and they each received the same salary.
“My mom deals with all the negotiating, and we let her do that because it is uncomfortable. She fights like a pit bull,” the Good American founder said at the time. “She loves to do it and we let her do it.”
Kris Manages Her Kids’ Careers
They don’t call her momager for nothing! Kris manages Jenner Communications, based in Los Angeles and handles every aspect of Khloé, Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Rob Kardashian and Kendall’s careers. She also managed Caitlyn Jenner‘s career when they were married.
That means the businesswoman collects a percentage of earnings from each of her children’s jobs. Undoubtedly, that brings in the big bucks with such a successful fam! They often joke about how hard she hustles on KUWTK — and how she rakes in 10 percent on all deals.
Kris Owns Part of KKW Beauty and Kylie Cosmetics
In 2015, Kris became a silent partner of daughter Kylie’s brand, Kylie Cosmetics. In November 2019, cosmetics company Coty paid $600 million for a 51% stake in the brand and her 10 percent stake skyrocketed. However, she sold half her portion of the company during the multimillion-dollar sale. Her remaining 5 percent stake was worth $30 million pre-tax.
In 2017, Kris also partnered up with Kim on her own makeup brand, KKW Beauty. The same conglomerate, Coty, purchased a 20 percent stake in the company for $200 million. Kris owned 8 percent of the brand at the time, which was worth $80 million after the milestone sale, pre-tax. It is believed she still owns the same stake in the company.
Kris Is an Author
The socialite published a memoir, Kris Jenner … and All Things Kardashian, in November 2011. She also published a cookbook, In the Kitchen with Kris: A Kollection of Kardashian-Jenner Family Favorites, in October 2014.
Kris Owns Property
The boss babe lives in a sprawling six-bedroom Calabasas home she purchased for $9.9 million in December 2017. In 2021, she purchased a $20 million home in Calabasas next door to Khloé. In addition, she also owns a lavish one-story vacation home in La Quinta, just outside of Palm Springs.
