“Hey Amsterdam! Khloe is coming!” the reality star reported yesterday via Twitter. On Saturday, November 16, she will launch the Kardashian Kollection for the British fashion brand Lipsy at De Bijenkorf in Amsterdam. And it's guaranteed to be a madhouse, because the Kardashians have now reached the status of wildly popular pop stars. But what have they actually done to earn that fame? Aside from a few failed songs, movies, and marriages, not much has happened, right? Let's summarize it for you...

In 2007, a sex tape of Kim Kardashian leaked with her then-boyfriend and singer Ray J. A reality series followed (because Kim wanted to show the world how she looked in clothes) and the TV show became a hit. Then Kim and her sisters Kourtney and Khloé obviously needed something to do, so they started the clothing store Dash. There are now locations in L.A, Miami, and New York. The ladies also launched their own shoe brand, a perfume, a cosmetics line (which was launched yesterday) and even a tanning line with tanning products for under the tanning bed. Whether the ladies have an eye for style is debatable. But they are certainly successful businesswomen. And we have a lot of respect for that.
