BRAND-BUILDING

After her divorce from Robert in 1991, Kris worked as a motivational speaker but her career wasn’t exactly taking off. Everything changed when she met former Olympian Caitlyn

Jenner (now 71), who was born Bruce and came out as transgender in 2015. Caitlyn’s post-Olympic career was in the doldrums and she was broke and depressed.

They were married in 1991 and Kris, with her instinct for managing, quickly resurrected Caitlyn’s career as a speaker and celebrity athlete.

Soon she was appearing in infomercials for athletic equipment. By the time they divorced in 2015, Caitlyn was worth $100m (then R1,5b).
