THE Kardashians are worth billions. They fly in their own private jets and are never without a full entourage of employees.
Yet there is one part of everyday life they all seem to still enjoy: driving themselves.
The reality family, who are getting ready for the premiere of their Hulu show, simply titled The Kardashians, are often seen behind the wheel, forgoing chauffeurs for a more hands-on approach.
According to the famous family, driving is way to learn responsibility.
It’s also a way to keep some independence and distance from celebrity photographers – especially when taking their kid to school or other activities.
“(They) are super respectful about school stuff,” Kourtney told Variety. “I guess I stay in a bubble, but I’m really able to have really normal days.”
But there is little normal about the payday the family is cashing in on with their new TV deal.
Next month, The Kardashians premiers on Hulu, the online streaming service owned by the Walt Disney company.
And the stars of the show are expected to get a hefty pay raise as they join Mickey’s empire.
According to Variety, the reality show paycheck is worth at least $100 million.
Momager Kris Jenner told the magazine the green deal was all the motivation the family needed to open their doors to cameras once more.
“Money always matters,” Kris said when asked about rebooting the show. “I think that anybody would be foolish to say that money doesn’t matter anymore.”
SHARING IS CARING
The sizeable salary will be split equally among all of the family members, which Khloe says was key.
“It definitely played a factor because we give so much of our personal lives up for entertainment,” Khloé said of the financial terms of the contract. “We always have our private family conversations, and we’re pretty brutal, me and my sisters, with what we will settle for or not settle for.
“But not all money is good money. It has to be a good fit, and Hulu was just the perfect fit for us.”
The nine figure deal makes up only a fraction of the families net worth, with clothing lines and perfume scents and a plethora of other endorsements keeping the Kardashians living a life of luxury.
NEW SHOW CHANGES
The new show is expected to be a little different from their previous long-running reality adventure.
Hulu will reportedly be launching two seasons of the series, with a total of 40 episodes.
According to Variety, The Kardashians will be presented more documentary style, with “scene openers shot overhead with drones.”
The family also has an option for future projects with Disney.
According to Variety, The Kardashians will be presented more documentary style, with “scene openers shot overhead with drones.”
And topics will echo the true-life sagas of its stars, including Kim’s romance with Pete Davidson, and her divorce from Kanye West.
