Did Kim Kardashian really earn 71 million euros with her mobile game?

In the past few weeks, Kim Kardashian has made headlines again with a nude photo that the American with the very feminine curves had previously published on Instagram. With 1.5 million likes, this photo by Kim K has also proven what kind of star power the reality TV star with Armenian roots has. She reacted late to the more than 285,000 comments on her photo and it is precisely this late reaction that should have caused even more furore.

Because the most famous of all Kardashians said that she was busy going to the bank and therefore had not been able to answer earlier. In fact, Kim was telling the world that she was one A check worth 71 million euros had to be redeemed – This is how much money her game, which is available for iOS and Android, is said to have brought in for the curvy beauty. Also, to make her critics even more furious, Kim added that she $ 47 million transferred directly to their joint account with Kanye West had. This sum was not just fictitious, as Kanye West had previously tweeted that he had exactly this amount of debt.

Kim Kardashian: Hollywood

So now you have to ask yourself what is the truth of this story. Could Kim K really have made 71 million euros with her Kim Kardashian: Hollywood game? Although the game has indeed grossed millions, the answer is likely to be “no”. The game, which was launched in 2014 in cooperation with Glu Mobile, already became the company’s most successful game in 2015. In the game, players can design their own celebrity characters and follow in the footsteps of Kim K and her family and closest friends, for whom characters have also been designed in the game.

The game has been downloaded more than 40 million times. That should be in the first two years alone Game generated sales worth 129 million euros to have. Of course, that money didn’t go to Kim Kardashian alone. Because even if beauty gave the game its name and was also involved in its creative design, a lot more manpower from Glu Mobile was required to get the game off the ground.

Incidentally, Kim K is said to have earned a good 46.5 million euros last year, which makes her the thirty-three highest-paid person in show business and the fifth highest-paid female entertainer. But that doesn’t explain why Kim K says she just cashed a check for $ 71 million at her bank. Her husband, Kayne West, is said to have earned only 19.5 million US dollars in the same period, so that Kim was at least financially more successful than star rapper Kayne in 2015. As for her income from the game, Kim is likely to have taken home more than 17 to 18 million euros and not 71 million euros, so her tweet should therefore be seen as an exaggerated self-expression.
