About this listen
Kris Jenner is a polarizing figure. She has undoubtedly achieved worldly success for herself and her family. She came from nothing, and in 2022 Forbes estimated her personal net worth at $200M. Kris is instrumental in the careers of her children and past spouses, too. Her daughter Kim Kardashian is estimated to be worth US$1.8 billion by Forbes (as of 2022) and her daughter Kylie Jenner is worth an estimated $680 million (Forbes, 2023).
But many people view Kris Jenner as a calculating, single-minded social climber, thirsty for securing fame and fortune through any means possible, including exploiting her children. "Famous for being famous"
And while that sentiment may not be entirely untrue, there's a lot we can learn from Kris Jenner about ambition, and various ways of getting what you want. Even if you view her life goals as vacuous, and some of her life choices as unethical, there's a lot we can learn from Kris' story, in particular how she used her ambition to get what she wanted.
Part 1 of this exploration of the rise of Kris Jenner covers her childhood, relationship with Robert Kardashian, and the birth of her first four children. Subscribe to the podcast to receive Part 2 & Part 3!
