Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian is an American media personality and businesswoman who rose to fame through a reality television show chronicling her family's life.

Her name often serves as shorthand for celebrity culture built on social media presence and personal branding rather than traditional talent: She's trying to be the next Kim Kardashian.

The Kardashians as a family name has become synonymous with this style of fame.
