The most-searched questions about the Kardashians, answered

From Cosmopolitan

They've broken the internet many times, but how much do you really know about the Kardashian family? It seems that the general public of the internet have a lot of queries, so we've rounded up the most-searched questions for you and given them all an answer. You can thank us later.

So, whether you're wondering how much the Kardashians are all worth, exactly where they all live, or how tall they all are, we've answered pretty much everything. Plus, everything you need to know about Keeping Up With the Kardashians and when it's ending (*cries*).

Let's start with the basics...

1. Who are the Kardashians?

Often called America's most famous family, the Kardashians are reality TV stars, influencers, models, beauty moguls and business women. Yep, they do it all.

The family consists of Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob Kardashian, who are the children of Kris Jenner and the late Robert Kardashian. Kris also has two other children with Caitlyn Jenner: Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

On top of that, all the kids (apart from Kendall) have children of their own. Kourtney has Mason, Penelope and Reign with her ex partner Scott Disick. Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm together.

Khloe has two-year-old True with Tristan Thompson, while Kylie has Stormi with Travis Scott. Rob Kardashian is also a father, and he has Dream Kardashian with Blac Chyna.

Talk about a big family...

2. Who is the oldest Kardashian, and how old are the Kardashians?

The oldest of the Kardashian sisters is Kourtney Kardashian, who is 41 years old. She's followed by Kim Kardashian, who recently turned 40, then Khloe Kardashian who is 36, and Rob Kardashian who's 33.

If we're including the Jenner sisters, Kendall Jenner is next in line, age 25, and Kylie Jenner is the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner squad, age 23.

Meanwhile, mother Kris Jenner is 65 years old, and she looks amazing for it!

3. How did the Kardashians get famous?

The Kardashian name first came into the public eye when the late Robert Kardashian defended O.J. Simpson in his high-profile 1995 murder trial. However, the family themselves often say that it's Kim Kardashian's 2002 sex tape with singer Ray J, called Kim Kardashian, Superstar, that made the family famous and kick-started their business empire.

In 2007, they launched the reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians which officially made them reality TV stars. Plus, Kris Jenner married Caitlyn Jenner in 1991, who was already famous in her own right as a US Olympic decathlon champion.

4. Where do the Kardashians live?

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West live in Hidden Hills, on the outskirts of Los Angeles, in their $19.7 million mansion (which they spent another $20 million renovating). Their house, which measures at a huge 15,667 square feet, also came scarily close to the California wildfires in 2018.

Kris Jenner also lived in Hidden Hills until recently, when she reportedly sold the iconic mansion where much of Keeping Up With The Kardashians was filmed. It's not known where she'll move to next, but we're sure she'll stay in LA near the rest of her family - and she does own a bunch of other properties which will come in handy if she's ever short of a place to live.

Right near Hidden Hills, Kourtney Kardashian lives in Calabasas in a gated community called The Oaks. She bought the mansion with her ex Scott Disick in 2014, but Scott has since moved out after the couple separated.

Khloe Kardashian also lived in Calabasas until recently, when she reportedly sold her Malibu Canyon mansion for $15.5 million.

Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner bought her Holmby Hills mansion earlier this year, in an exclusive part of LA, for $36.5 million (£29.5 million) - and it looks amazing.

Close by to her sister, Kendall Jenner lives in Beverly Hills in a house she reportedly bought from Charlie Sheen in 2017.

5. Who is the richest Kardashian, and how much are the Kardashians worth?

As of October 2020, Forbes reported Kim Kardashian's worth at $780 million, making her now the richest of the Kardashian-Jenners. Kylie Jenner, whose billionaire status was disputed by Forbes, is now estimated to be worth $700 million by the publication, coming in behind her sister.

Meanwhile, Kris Jenner's net worth is thought to be $190 million, Forbes reports.

Khloe Kardashian was last estimated to be worth around $40 million, while Kourtney's net worth was last estimated to be $35 million, with Kendall Jenner coming in behind at an estimated $22 million.

So, collectively, that adds up to... a lot.

6. How is Caitlyn Jenner related to the Kardashians?

Caitlyn Jenner is Kendall and Kylie Jenner's father, whom she shares with their mother Kris Jenner. Kris has four other children with the late Robert Kardashian: Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob Kardashian. This means that when Caitlyn and Kris were married, Caitlyn was stepfather to the four Kardashian children, and they're still in each other's lives today, despite some fall outs.

7. How are the Kardashians and Jenners related?

The same goes for the other Jenners. Kendall and Kylie Jenner share their mother, Kris Jenner, with Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob Kardashian - making the Jenners and Kardashians half siblings.

Kendall and Kylie have a bunch of other half siblings on their Jenner side, including Brandon and Brody Jenner who often appear in KUWTK, as well as Burt Jenner and Cassandra Marino.

8. How many seasons of Keeping Up With the Kardashians are there?

19 seasons of Keeping Up With the Kardashians have aired so far, with the 20th and final season of the show due to air in early 2021. The family announced that the show would be coming to a close earlier this year, after running for 14 years.

9. What channel is Keeping Up With the Kardashians on?

Keeping Up With the Kardashians airs on E! in the US. To watch it in the UK, you can catch all 19 seasons of the show on hayu, or you can watch them on NowTV with a hayu Pass.

You can also watch on Amazon Prime through hayu, or on Sky Go, and some episodes are available on Netflix.

10. Where are the Kardashians from?

Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob Kardashian, and Kendall and Kylie Jenner were all born in Los Angeles, California, where they've pretty much all remained living.

11. When did Keeping Up With the Kardashians start?

The first episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians aired way back in October 2007 (when the Kardashians looked a whole lot different to how they do now), and it'll have been going strong for 14 years when it eventually finishes in 2021.

12. Who is the Kardashians’ dad?

Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob's father is Robert Kardashian, who sadly passed away in 2003, weeks after being diagnosed with esophageal cancer. He had worked as a lawyer, and became particularly well-known for his role defending O.J. Simpson in his 1995 murder trial.

Robert was married to Kris Kardashian (now Jenner) from 1978 to 1991, when the couple got divorced.

13. How tall are the Kardashians?

Kendall Jenner and Khloe Kardashian are the tallest of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters, both measuring 5ft10, which of course makes Kendall suited for her career as a supermodel. However, they're not quite as tall as their brother Rob Kardashian, who is 6ft1.

Kylie Jenner and mum Kris are the middle bunch, measuring 5ft6 each. Meanwhile, Kim and Kourtney are much shorter than their sisters, with Kim measuring 5ft2 and Kourtney being just 5ft.

Phew... we reckon that makes you a Kardashians expert now then?
