Kourtney Kardashian’s wealth has grown steadily over time. The reason for the almost straight line in the chart below is her low number of income sources. Compared to sister Kim, who runs a large perfume business and lands high dollar endorsement deals, Kourtney is content to stick with TV and more ordinary merchandise income. Kourtney, Khloe and Kim Kardashian split the income from the hit show Keeping Up with the Kardashians three ways. In 2012, the show was signed for additional seasons, giving the three sisters a pile of $50 million to split. Overall, it’s estimated that the show has injected $25 million into the Kourtney Kardashian net worth figure since its first episode in 2007. A relatively steady level of fame, low-end endorsement deals and merchandise income has ensured that Kourtney would get rich and stay that way. She doesn’t tend to monetize her fame as aggressively as sisters Kim and Khloe, which is why her net worth hasn’t skyrocketed at quite the pace theirs have.

Kourtney Kardashian was springboarded into fame in 2007, when a sex tape of sister Kim got leaked. Publicity around the tape and the ensuing lawsuit made the family into overnight pop culture icons. The Kardashians quickly cashed in on that popularity, giving many Americans more of what they seemed to crave. Turning that fame into a TV show was a logical next step. Making the shift from fame to sales of merchandise and big money endorsement deals seems to be the key move in the current era. Nobody does that better than the Kardashians.
