Each member leveraged their on-screen persona into standalone careers: beauty lines, shapewear, mobile games, and production companies. While criticized for promoting unattainable beauty standards and “famous for being famous” culture, their influence on social media marketing, celebrity entrepreneurship, and the reality TV format is undeniable. The original cast paved the way for a new era of family franchises—and they remain, in Kris Jenner’s words, “the smartest business family in the world.”
