Kim Kardashian shows off her underwear in a sheer blue dress as she shares how being the face of her $4 billion Skims empire turned into global success in a Financial Times cover shoot

Kim Kardashian showed off her underwear in a sheer blue dress as she appeared on the cover of the Financial Times HTSI magazine.

In this weekend’s upcoming issue, the 43-year-old business mogul will share how she turned SKIMS into a $4 billion success story.

As the face of the brand, Kim has built her shapewear line into a huge empire around the world since she founded the brand in 2019.

The TV star said: “I deal with all the visual elements, all the ideas, materials and cuts. I am the face of this brand.”

Kim looked amazing as she wore her popular shapewear underneath a figure-hugging SKIMS dress.

Posing in front of a table with newspapers, she showed off her ample cleavage and washboard belly.

Announcing the upcoming edition, HTSI wrote on Instagram: “Five years after founding @skims, @kimkardashian is now a $4 billion retail empire.

“In this week’s cover story, @mariashollenbarger meets the reality queen-turned-mogul in Los Angeles to learn how she’s shaping the next generation of shoppers.”

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

Early in her career, much of Kim’s wealth came from her 14-year stint on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

The reality star earned a whopping $4.5 million per season as both an executive producer and star of the hit E! reality show that ran for 20 seasons.

In 2014, she launched the mobile app Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, which grossed $1.6 million in the first five days of launch. She then launched her own Kimoji range in 2015.

Another part of Kim’s wealth came from her company KKW Beauty.

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

Skims shapewear launched in 2019 and has now become the mother of four’s biggest source of income.

It was valued at a “conservative $225 million” in 2020, and on that basis, Forbes first valued Kimat at over $1 billion.

Elsewhere, an aspiring lawyer founded a private equity firm called SKKY Partners and earns up to $1 million per paid Instagram post.

The Kardashian-Jenner family also starred in “The Kardashians” for Hulu, which has aired three seasons so far.

Reports suggest that the Kardashians earn “nine-figure” earnings from the show, or approximately $16.6 million each.

Although Kim’s net worth goes up and down year by year, in 2022 her net worth at one point reached $1.9 billion before dropping to $1.2 billion.

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