Kim Kardashian gained significant attention in 2007 when a "tape" featuring her and musician Ray J surfaced online. Shortly after that, she had nude photoshoots with "Playboy." Moreover, the Kardashian family exploited this scandal to boost the profile of their reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," which ran for 14 years.
The fame Kim garnered from these endeavors has paved the way for her to create several profitable ventures. "Forbes" estimates her net worth at nearly $1.5 billion. Her business operations include selling perfumes, jewelry, cosmetics, and shapewear and establishing a private investment fund.
It has now emerged that Kardashian harbors aspirations of becoming an actress. She has already voiced a character in two installments of the animated "Paw Patrol" series and appeared in "American Horror Story: Anticipation." She looks to make her comedy debut in "The 5th Wheel", where she aims to be the star and producer. Kardashian is currently a film to various Hollywood stakeholders, showing up for every meeting with potential buyers personally.
According to Deadline, the project is gaining considerable traction in Hollywood. Five offers from different studios and platforms are already on the table. Details regarding the plot are sparse; the script is still in the works, but it is confirmed that women will have the leading roles.
The question of Kardashian's success in a comedic role remains unanswered. We'll have to wait and see. Many will be intrigued to see how she fares in such a venture.
