Kim and Kourtney (But Mostly Kim) rake in between 50 and 60 percent of the entire family’s contract for the show. Poor Kylie and Kendall get the scraps leftover, but they are on the show way less. So, it all checks out.
Even though Kim allegedly makes more than Kourtney from the show, her salary is not too shabby. In fact, if the contract is worth $150,000 and Kourtney takes half of half, she’s taking around $37,500,000.
The Kardashians take their privacy very seriously. So seriously that they make it rain NDA’s when you're lucky enough to be in the same room.
You get an NDA, you get an NDA, and you get an NDA! Kris has a hefty stack of NDA’s at her front door. It’s just signing your rights away, just sign it. Right?
An article in the New York times revealed that Kris makes production assistants wear shoe protectors in her house. The reason why is simple, GERMS ARE GROSS!
Many reality stars also have their own glam squad, but Kris takes it to a whole other level. Her beauty team always demanded to be on standby. Period.
Kim takes her beauty in her own hands, or so she says. She only gets a meager two hours of glam time per day. She told Paper Magazine, “There’s nothing we can do that’s not documented, so why not look your best and amazing?”
Kris can’t have her kids looking a mess! Kylie and Kendall told Elle that their mother would have a nail artist come to their house once a week. We’re sure that hasn’t changed since then.
If you’re wondering how the Kardashians have all this time to run amuck and still raise children, here’s your answer. Like any other rich person, they have nannies! The nannies, however, don’t get any screen time.
The Kardashians are basically never off. In fact, the New York Times revealed that Kris had production cameras installed on her ceiling at home! Smile, you’re on camera!
KUWTK is usually filmed in their homes, but every now and then they need to film out in the wild. Apparently, the New York Times was going to go with Kris to Costco but she cancelled on them by saying “they have to keep up good relations with the businesses where they tape.”
Seriously, the Kardashians never get a break, they even have to front the vacations for filming! Kourtney even bitched about it when she got the tab for their vacation to Costa Rica.
Usually Kris is the mastermind behind everything drama, but Kim is known to snitch to production when her siblings have their own personal drama going on. We need to see the drama!
What Kris says, goes. Kris can hire anyone she wants for any reason. Case in point is French Montana’s run on the show.
KUWTK is literally a cash factory. The show brings in so much money that there is enough to go around. Even the interns get paid pretty well!
Not just anyone can be on the show. You must earn the families trust before they allow you to be on their show. Maybe that’s why Kanye’s not on the show?
This is a lesson they had to learn the hard way. Production can no longer use real footage of the outside of their homes. In fact, the clips of houses you see on the show are just some random houses!
While the outside shots of their mega-mansions are totally fake, the inside is completely real. You can literally taste the irony.
Kris is the mastermind behind anything and everything Kardashian. So yes, the world does revolve around her.
Kim’s gone on the record saying she’ll completely axe footage that she doesn’t look the best in. No wonder she always looks flawless!
If there’s drama unfolding and the production cameras aren’t rolling, anyone can whip out their I-phone and record what’s going on. They’re just keeping it real!
If things get too real, they can totally cut it down. You can’t tell all your secrets to the world, right?
Working for the Kardashians isn’t just a full-time job, it’s an around the clock gig! The crew practically lives with Kris, just so that they can work on any ideas whenever she is struck with an idea.
Lets get real, with any filming there will always be retakes. As perfect as the Kardashians are, they are no exception. They must be willing to fake the drama for a retake, but keep it seeming authentic. Apparently, they’re actors now too.
Some of the drama may be fabricated, but another drama like Kourtney and Scott’s breakup was totally real. She told the Hollywood Reporter that breaking up with him on film was the hardest thing she’s ever had to do.
In the same interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Kourtney revealed that they’re always miked. She said in season 1 she had to go to the bathroom to cry quietly and off film just so she wasn’t spied on.
Kanye has made it clear that he’s not on this show, so if you’ve ever wondered why you never see Kim’s husband it’s because he just really doesn’t want anything to do with it! Kim told the Hollywood Reporter, ““Kanye was like, ‘I’m not a part of the show. That’s not what I do. I have my own career and life.’”
Kylie is pretty iconic; I mean she’s absolutely rich and totally gets away with whatever she wants! Apparently when making an appearance on Ellen, she demanded two VIP parking spaces because she didn’t want to walk to the studio.
Despite all the drama and gossip on the show, the family keeps a lot of things a secret until they start filming. In fact, Like Kim’s Paris robbery, you won’t hear about it until it airs on the show!
Like saving the drama for filming, they also plan major life events so they can film them on the show. You know, for publicity purposes.
