Scandalous – Kim Kardashian top-earning reality star for year 2010

Kim also has a skincare line, and the K Dash for QVC Line. Kardashian earns as much as $75, 000 in just appearance fees. Just in time for the Christmas crunch comes a perhaps-confounding list of top-earning reality stars for 2010. For the small price of diminished privacy, these “real” personalities rake in a ton of dough.

Her most recent project Spin Crowd had done alright, but it’s still not known whether the venture had been profitable for its executive producer Kim. With their per-episode salaries, endorsement deals and nightclub and other promotional appearances, these folks are taking their boom mikes and camera crews directly to the bank. All of the Kardashian sisters arrived snuggly within the top ten, but Kim took the cake. The list was derived from a variety of industry insiders who concluded that Kim’s 2010 take was roughly $6 million.

Kim herself nabs the No. 1 spot ( another top ranking for her in 2010), with an estimated $6 million in income. Just don’t expect that cash pile to pay off any self-named credit cards . Clocking in with $5 million in earnings this year, Conrad hasn’t technically been a reality star since May 2009. However, the legacy she’s carried — a successful franchise of novels and more successful clothing collections — earns her 2010 cash-cow status.

But she does not only use her celebrity magic to earn for herself. She just tweeted again today, after a week of abstinence from posting online.
