Kim Kardashian

Company: Skims & NikeSkims
Title: Co-Founder & Chief Creative Officer
Industry: Retail

Standout achievement in 2025: Led Skims to a $5 billion valuation and fueled global retail and product growth, while also completing her six-year legal apprenticeship.

Drawing from Kardashian's personal style and brand, Skims is blending cultural moments with product development. The company launched NikeSkims in September 2025, combining Nike's leading relationship with athletes such as Serena Williams, Jordan Chiles, and Chloe Kim with Skims' dress for everyday training and life beyond the gym.

Skims has grown into an influential and inclusive global brand in retail, expanding across categories — intimates, apparel, men's and swim.
