What is the weirdest way someone became rich?

I’m pretty sure everyone in America has already heard of her:

Kim Kardashian.

A lot of people don’t like her, personally I don’t either, but nobody can deny that she is rolling in dough. She has an estimated net worth of $300 million dollars and raked in $72 million last year. She’s managed to find new ways to get attention for so many years, it’s easy to forget how she even became famous in the first place. Well, it definitely wasn’t because of any special skills, neither her nor her whole family can act, sing, dance, or do any of the things people typically become famous for.

So, how did one random girl with no discernible talent become famous?

A sex tape.

Kim was a stylist of Paris Hilton in the 2000s, which is what she claims made her famous, but the truth is that the “leaked” sex tape is what launched her into national conversation. Her, rear end also helped in attracting some attention.

Somehow, her mother was able to turn the fame from that sex-tape into a reality show about the whole family. And they turned that reality show into a source of fame and attention. And they turned that fame and attention into more fame and attention. And two of the sisters, Kim and Kylie, also used their fame to be the face of their makeup companies, which made them an extra couple $100 million. Now, the whole family is viewed as a prime example of a spoiled type of rich, the modern aristocrat.

I definitely wouldn’t say they’re people to be admired, but it sure is weird how the whole family became rich in the first place. It’s all thanks to Kim.
