Kim panics as her sisters threaten her celebrity crown

Kim Kardashian is worried as siblings Kylie and Kourtney take the spotlight

She’s the baby of S the KardashianJenner clan, but last week 19-yearold Kylie Jenner officially became the youngest person to make it on to the Forbes 100 rich list – something sources say has left her stepsister Kim Kardashian worried.

Kylie ranked at number 59 on the prestigious celebrity rich list, thanks to the whopping £32million she raked in from her cosmetics line and endorsements last year. The delighted star, who has been a fixture on reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, last week Tweeted, “wow woke up the youngest entry on the Forbes 100 list…’

Closer has reported how 36-year-old Kim, who ranked above her little sister at number 47 with earnings of £35.5 million, is already paranoid her star is starting to fade, and is worried her siblings – especially Kylie and Kourtney, 38 – could eclipse her.

Kim has endured a tough time since being held at gunpoint during a robbery in Paris last October. She’s also had reported ongoing marriage troubles with husband Kanye West, 40, following his mental breakdown in November, then lost 100,000 Instagram followers after the release of unedited snaps of her dimpled behind, amid criticism she’d misled fans with Photoshopped pictures of her body.

CAREER STRUGGLES

And now pals say the news of Kylie’s position on the Forbes list has made Kim – who’s releasing a beauty range to rival Kylie’s – worried she will soon be overtaken. A source says: “Watching Kylie’s rise to fame while her own career appears to be struggling has been incredibly difficult for Kim to watch, and the Forbes announcement has been the ultimate blow. She’s determined not to be eclipsed by Kylie, whose own reality show airs this summer.

“At 19, Kim was just Paris Hilton’s best friend, so she said if Kylie is doing this at 19, by the time she’s her age, she could be the richest and most famous celebrity in the world.”

Kylie, who’s known for her cosmetically-enhanced lips which she’s used to build her business empire, is one of the biggest social media stars in the world, with more than 95 million followers on Instagram.

Kim, who has more than 101 million Instagram followers, took a three-month break from social media after being robbed in Paris. Meanwhile, her sisters have seen their profiles rocket, with Kendall’s number of Instagram followers doubling in two years to 80 million. Kourtney has also been gaining column inches recently for her relationship with toyboy Younes Bendjima, 24, while Khloe has gained popularity for her body transformation.

FEELING THREATENED

A source says: “Kim feels Kourtney has constantly been flaunting her body over the past few months and has been getting a huge amount of press attention. Kim’s always prided herself on having the best figure in the family, but now she feels like even that’s under threat.”
