Kim Kardashian’s latest partnership with Coty will help her expand the KKW Beauty brand into more categories including skincare, haircare, personal care and nail products while also bringing the items into more global markets.
The mother of four — North, 7, Saint, 4, Chicago, 2, and Psalm, 13-month-old — and her team will continue to lead all creative efforts of product and communications initiatives.
The beauty mogul’s decision to sell a part of her company follows in her sister Kylie Jenner’s footsteps, who sold a 51 percent majority stake of Kylie Cosmetics to same Coty beauty conglomerate for $600 million in November 2019.
The sale valued Kylie’s company at almost $1.2 billion and according to Forbes, left her with a net worth of just under $900 million, making her a billionaire.
However, she was recently stripped of her billionaire title following tax document forgery allegations by Forbes.
As for Kanye West, he also recently made a massive business move by partnering with Gap – American clothing and accessories retailer – to bring his YEEZY sneaker brand designs to consumers at an accessible price point.
The YEEZY Gap line, which is expected to hit Gap online and physical stores in early 2021, will include a range of pieces for men, women and children.
Congratulations to the Kardashian-West family on their new achievements!
