Intro

Hello and Welcome to this episode of the podcast, "The Mnemonic Tree", where we add a single mnemonic leaf to our Tree of Knowledge.

Well, I never thought I’d go here, but no subject is off-limits in our search for omniscience. So, today’s episode will be on American Royalty and that is the Kardashian family or more specifically Kardashian/Jenner family.

Rising to fame through their reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," which premiered back in 2007, they have since built an empire through a variety of business ventures.

So, with no further ado, we will begin with a summary from Wikipedia.

Wikipedia Summary

The Kardashian family, also referred to as the Kardashian–Jenner family,[1] is an American family prominent in the fields of entertainment, reality television, fashion design, and business. Through different ventures, several members of the family have assets of over a billion dollars. Kim Kardashian became a celebrity in 2007, after having a pornographic film leaked featuring singer Ray J, this enabled the family to rise to stardom. They appeared together on the highly popular reality television show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The show's 14-year run gave and maintained media exposure to each member of the family, allowing them to start and build their individual careers in multiple businesses under their own separate brands.

The family, started by Kris Jenner and Robert Kardashian, includes their children Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian as well as their grandchildren. After Robert sadly passed away to esophageal cancer in 2003. Kris remarried to Olympic decathlon champion Bruce Jenner (later known as Caitlyn Jenner). They had two daughters: Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Notable extended relatives include Kendall and Kylie's half-siblings (through Caitlyn and her marriage to actor Linda Thompson), Brandon and Brody Jenner.[2][3]

Kourtney previously dated American entrepreneur Scott Disick; they have three children, Mason, Penelope, and Raine.

Kim previously was married to American singer/songwriter Kanye West. They have 4 kids; North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. Khloé previously dated Canadian basketball player Tristan Thompson, with whom she has two children, True and Tatum. Rob previously dated American rapper and model Blac Chyna; they have one child, Dream. Kylie previously dated American rapper and singer Travis Scott; they have two children, Stormi and Aire.

Robert initially received attention for being one of O. J. Simpson's lawyers during the O. J. Simpson murder case, but the family parlayed Kim's 2003 pornographic film, Kim Kardashian, Superstar, into a reality television and business empire.[4] They have since been referred to as "America's most famous family" by Glamour,[5] "one of the most influential family 'dynasties' in the world" by Insider,[6] and the biggest influencers of the 2010s by Vogue.[7] They are the focus of the book Kardashian Dynasty: The Controversial Rise of America's Royal Family by Ian Halperin.[8]

Five Fun Facts

1. Kim has a clause in her will to always be glammed. Now, I’ll have to read this verbatim and it is from telltalesonline.

In a video interview with Elle, Kim revealed that she has a clause in her will to ensure she receives full glam if she’s unable to do it herself. So, if the iconic star can’t get out of bed or is “out of it” and “can’t communicate”, she wants to make sure that her nails, hair, and makeup are on fleek! (Extremely good, attractive, or stylish)

Now I can’t make sense of this. If this is in her will, would she not have to be dead for the will to be enacted? And if she was dead, she would get it all done for free!

2. The Kardashian/Jenner family get paid approximately $25,000 for a social media post to promote products to their millions of followers.

3. Kim mainly wears fake jewellery as a result of a 2016 robbery in Paris, where she was held up at gun point by five armed robbers, who subsequently stole $10 million dollars’ worth of jewellery.

4. Well, we all know that Kim did a sex tape with Ray J, but it seems that her little sister Khloe has also done one with her ex-husband, Lamar Odom. Fortunately, it is kept under lock and key.

5. In 2008 Kim was the most googled celebrity after she dethroned Britney Spears from the top spot.

6. Bonus Fact: Kim Kardashian has been married three times, first to Damon Thomas, then Kris Humphries and lastly Kanye West. Now currently she is getting a divorce from Kanye West and apparently, she said to her son named North, “North, things between West and I have gone South and I’m looking to marry a tennis player, because love means nothing to them!”
