Family Kim Kardashian was born on October 21, 1980 to mother Kris Jenner and father Robert Kardashian. Her father, now deceased, was most famous for his role as defense lawyer to O.J. Simpson.

Her two full sisters, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, appear alongside her everywhere, but she also has two younger half-sisters named Kendall and Kylie. She is the stepsister to Brody Jenner, an MTV reality star of “The Hills.”

Rise to Fame Kim’s catapult to fame was due largely to her physical assets and a little sex tape that happened to hit the Internet. Her sex tape with then-boyfriend Ray J gave both of them instant name recognition. Kim shot to huge fame after she completed a "Playboy" spread. Since then, she has raked in the dough from both her reality shows and her personal endorsements. She is currently promoting products like Sketchers, Midori Melon Liqueur, and QuickTrim.

She regularly makes appearances on late night shows. She recently starred as herself in an offshoot show called “Kourtney and Kim Take New York,” which premiered in 2011 and showed Kourtney and Kim taking their designer clothes line from Los Angeles to the Big Apple.

Relationships Kim Kardashian was married from 2000-2004 to Damon Thomas, although this marriage occurred before she really shot to fame.
