She writes books, too.

This family has created an empire from the ground up. And though Kris may not be the star of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” this momager certainly is the backbone.
Currently, Kris Jenner’s net worth is estimated to be between $45 and $100 million. But how has this savvy businesswoman made her money and how does she spend it all?
Here’s what ENTITY found out.
Originally from a wealthy family, Kris Jenner is no stranger to the finer things in life. Also, going on to marry a highly-esteemed defense attorney and Olympic athlete didn’t hurt.
But although that gave her a good head start in life, the bulk of Kris’ net worth comes from the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” series. She recently signed a $100 million contract with E! to have ownership of the series and produce episodes until 2019.
Kris Jenner originally pitched the idea for the show to Ryan Seacrest back in 2007. Kim Kardashian’s sex tape shined a spotlight on the family, and Ms. Jenner was not about to let that publicity go to waste.
The reality show is currently in its 13th season, which makes it one of the longest running shows of all time. It has also solidified the stardom of one of America’s most well-known families.
And since the start of the series, “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” has had various spin-off series. Some of these include “Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami,” which raked in $8.6 million, and “Kourtney and Kim Take New York,” which earned $13.5 million.
It has been speculated that Kris Jenner is planning to create a cartoon of the family due to the fact “Keeping Up With the Kardashians'” latest season received all time low ratings.
But even if that’s not true, Jenner is focusing on other things, too. She has doubled down on promoting her children’s separate ventures, such as Kylie Jenner’s makeup line and Khloe Kardashian’s jean brand.
If you visit her Instagram, it is filled with advertisements for all the family’s products and appearances. Clearly, marketing is a common practice to expand the Kardashian-Jenner platform.
Outside of her children’s ventures, Kris wrote the novel “Kris Jenner and All Things Kardashian” in 2011, which sold millions of copies. Then in 2014, Kris Jenner released her own recipe book, “In the Kitchen With Kris.” Additionally, she has created the production company, Jenner Communication. This platform handles all of the family’s current business and endorsement deals.
As the publicist and manager of all six of her children, Kris Jenner is collecting roughly 10 percent of their earnings. Though her wealth is nowhere near the level of her children’s net worths, Ms. Jenner is still living the life.
She owns three different properties and one of them is worth over $2 million. Additionally, Kris Jenner can be spotted driving around Los Angeles in her Mercedes Benz or Range Rover.
However, this momager doesn’t spend all her money on just diamonds and vacations. Some of Jenner Communications’ earnings are devoted to business loans for her children as well. Kylie Jenner’s lip kits are the most recent example of this.
But overall, the continued success of her family doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon.
