Kris Jenner — The Momager Who Built a Dynasty

Kris Jenner engineered the $2 billion Kardashian-Jenner empire, monetizing fame across beauty (Kylie Cosmetics, KKW), shapewear (SKIMS), alcohol (818 Tequila), and streaming (The Kardashians on Hulu). She earns a 10% management fee on every deal, and Forbes pegs her net worth at $190 million. This blueprint of turning scandal into a multi-generational conglomerate is unmatched: her model outperforms #2 Simon Cowell's factory approach by generating revenue across more diverse product lines.
