The definition of a celebrity has changed a lot over the last decade or two. While the title was once reserved for people who excelled in acting or singing, it’s now used for those with a variety of other talents. This new wave of celebrity was ushered in by people like Paris Hilton who was considered famous for being famous. Being a socialite who partied every night was suddenly something that millions aspired to, and it made Hilton one of the stars of the ‘00s. As she rose to prominence, though, another woman was waiting behind her to claw her way to the top.
If you’re not familiar with the Kardashian name, where have you been for the last few years? The family is everywhere, spreading their brand across TV shows, cosmetics, books and more. They’ve managed to create an empire out of very little, and unlike their predecessors have managed to stay relevant after all this time. It’s amazing what can happen when someone’s private video hits the internet.
The Kardashian name is now so powerful that even employers can’t resist being lured in by it. All this guy had to do was mention Kim on his résumé, and he found himself with three job interviews!

They might not have any seats in government, but it’s pretty clear that the Kardashians run the world. These women have been growing popular by the year ever since an intimate video of Kim was leaked back in 2007.
Rather than hiding away in shame, the family used it as a launch pad into the spotlight, and they’ve since taken every opportunity thrown their way. They’re now more popular than many traditional celebrities, and that’s made them a powerful ally to have in the world. Chris Sumlin is well aware of that.
