9 People Really Do Get Paid
With the Kardashians, it is all about the money. If one of them creates a line or product that features another Kardashian in it, the sister that created the product better pay up; that is now a rule for this over-the-top family especially after Kim had created a mobile app game titled, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood; this app has literally made over $100 million. Kourtney was featured in this game, and she was not too happy about that. She sent a cease and desist letter to Kim, via Kris Jenner, stating that if Kim did not remove her character from the game, she was going to file a formal lawsuit against her. A source had said that it was just like being mean to her sister and that Kourtney did not want to be included in the game unless she was going to get paid for it. Where is the sisterly love? Luckily for Kourtney, Kim eventually gave into these demands, and the new family rule was created. If anyone uses any of the sisters in anything, they each pay each other well. The sisters have a net worth of over $10 million each. All of them put together have a collective worth of a little over $122.5 million.
8 Paparazzi’s Never Get Smile Shots
If you look at Kim in the press now, you notice that she is no longer smiling away at the camera. When Kim first became famous, the paparazzi started to follow this infamous Kardashian around everywhere. She said that she used to be very social with them and always smiled for their camera shots. She said that whenever she would go out, no matter where she was going, the paparazzi would stop her and start asking her questions. Should she stop what she was doing, flash them her biggest smile, and then answer their questions and have a conversation with them? Kim said that she used to crave the attention, but that it is not like that anymore. Kim’s best friend Jonathan Cheban had told her that she needs to stop doing all that. He told her she needs to stop smiling and talking to them. Further, he said that she was way too happy. He had her put her sunglasses on and, basically, just ignore the paparazzi as if they were not even there. Kim followed his instructions, and then gradually Kim’s family followed her lead. Now, the entire Kardashian clan is supposedly in on the whole no-smiling and no-talking rule when it comes to the paparazzi.
7 When On Instagram They Follow Strict Rules
Everyone breaks a tiny rule here and there, right? No biggie. Wrong. The Kardashians got busted posting misleading information on Instagram regarding brands that they were paid to promote. Of course, every company wanted the Kardashians to advertise for them, I mean, between all of them, look at how many followers they have across all their social media; they have millions and millions of fans. The family is constantly being approached to advertise and promote this product and that product for someone else. This company called Truth In Advertising, who are also referred to by the acronym TINA, said that these posts were false advertising and deceptive marketing because the Kardashians were failing to make it obvious to their fanbase that they were advertising products that they were posting. This means that they were advertising a product without letting fans know that it was an ad. The Kardashians had to take down over 100 of their endorsement posts because of TINA flagging them for false advertising and deception. This has happened to the family more than once. About a year ago, Kim put a photo on Instagram with an endorsement on a product that helps out with morning sickness without any side effects. The FDA made her take it down. So, from now on, the Kardashians have to play by the rules.
6 All Cellphones Are Required To Have Extra Security
Privacy is a major issue for celebrities. For the Kardashians, they use their phone for everything. This includes posting on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and sending emails. Their phone communicates with everyone. However, they always have the paparazzi in their faces watching their every move. This leads to their personal accounts getting hacked, and private photos, that no one was meant to see, getting leaked. In 2014, Kim, along with a few other celebrities, fell prey to an Apple iCloud photo leak scandal from a Pennsylvania hacker by the name of Ryan Collinís. Collinís ended up confessing to committing the offense and is now sitting in a prison cell for the next 18 months. Because of this, all the Kardashians had to up their security measures on their personal cell phones. Most likely, the Kardashians also increased their security on everything else as well. Unfortunately, Kim just seems to have no luck when it comes to stuff getting leaked. First the home movie and then, the photos, both of which have her pictured in things that she does not want the public to see. To prevent further leaks, or to at least make it much more difficult for the outside world to hack their phones, the Kardashian family set the rule of adding multi-layered security to their phones.
