Kris Jenner
AGE: 66 • REALITY TV • BUSINESSWOMAN
Jenner famously put the Kardashian family on the map in 2007—when she was 51—with their reality TV show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Since then, the ve “K” kids—Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall and Kylie—have forged an empire powered by a combined 1 billion social media followers that spans denim and makeup, skin care for babies, tequila and more. “Momager” Jenner gets a 10% cut of it all and a board seat at each company. She has her own ventures, too: Safely, which makes plant-based cleaning products, and Kris Collection, a cosmetics line she launched with Kylie. Next up: private equity. In September, Kim Kardashian launched Boston- and Los Angeles–based SKKY Partners alongside former Carlyle Group executive Jay Sammons, with Jenner as a partner. She claims hundreds of businesses have already applied for consideration.
