Kris Jenner

Kris Jenner is a media mogul, businesswoman, and the architect behind the Kardashian-Jenner empire, one of the most influential families in entertainment and business. Born Kristen Mary Houghton in San Diego, California, she rose to fame as the executive producer and central figure in “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” (2007-2021) and its spinoffs.

Often referred to as the “momager,” Jenner manages the careers of her six children: Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Rob Kardashian, and Kendall and Kylie Jenner. She takes a 10% management fee from their numerous business ventures, which include major cosmetics brands, fashion lines, and media companies.

Jenner’s business acumen has helped transform reality TV fame into lasting commercial success. She oversees Kylie Cosmetics, KKW Beauty (now SKKN BY KIM), Good American, Poosh, 818 Tequila, and numerous other ventures. Her memoir “Kris Jenner… And All Things Kardashian” became a New York Times bestseller. The family’s influence continues through “The Kardashians” on Hulu, which premiered in 2022.
