The most recognisable reality TV star on the planet, she may have shot to fame thanks to a sex tape but is now wielding her influence in an unexpected way.
Despite being known for her sexy selfies and raunchy photoshoots, Kim Kardashian West also means business. The daughter of businesswoman Kris Jenner, 64, and the late Robert Kardashian – who represented notorious US football star OJ Simpson in his 1995 murder trial – Kim has no shortage of brains as well as beauty.
Now, she is training to be a lawyer herself and has launched a crusade to transform the US criminal justice system and help those she believes were wrongly convicted of crimes or given unfairly long sentences.
