The Kardashian family, also referred to as the Kardashian–Jenner family, is an American family prominent in the fields of entertainment, reality television, fashion design, and business. Through different ventures, several members of the family have assets of over a billion dollars. Kim Kardashian became a celebrity in the early 2000s, which enabled the family as a whole to rise to stardom in 2007 when they appeared together on the highly popular reality television show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The show's 14-year run gave and maintained media exposure to each member of the family, allowing them to start and build their individual careers in multiple businesses under their own separate brand. Founded by Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner (née Houghton), it consists of their children Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian, as well as their grandchildren. After Robert and Kris' divorce in 2000, Kris married Olympic decathlon champion Caitlyn Jenner (then known as Bruce) with whom she had two daughters: Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Notable extended relatives include Kendall and Kylie's half-siblings (through Caitlyn and her marriage to actress Linda Thompson), Brandon and Brody Jenner. Kourtney previously dated American entrepreneur Scott Disick; they have three children. In 2022, she married Travis Barker. Kim was married to American rapper and record producer Kanye West; they have four children. Khloé previously dated Canadian basketball player Tristan Thompson; they have two children. Rob previously dated American rapper and model Blac Chyna; they have one child. Kylie is in a long-term relationship with American rapper and singer Travis Scott; they have two children. Robert initially received attention for being one of O. J. Simpson's lawyers during the O. J. Simpson murder case, but the family parlayed Kim's 2003 sex tape with singer Ray J, Kim Kardashian, Superstar, into a reality-TV and business empire. They have since been referred to as "America's most famous family" by Glamour, "one of the most influential family 'dynasties' in the world" by Insider, and the biggest influencers of the 2010s by Vogue. They are the focus of the book Kardashian Dynasty: The Controversial Rise of America's Royal Family by Ian Halperin. Best known for its involvement in reality television shows, the family's longest running show was Keeping Up with the Kardashians (2007–2021). Spinoffs included Kourtney and Kim Take Miami (2009–2013); Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami (2009–2013); Kourtney and Kim Take New York (2011–2012); Khloé & Lamar (2013); Kourtney and Kim Take Miami (2014–2015); Kourtney and Khloé Take The Hamptons (2014–2015); Dash Dolls (2015) and Life of Kylie (2017). In 2022, the family debuted their new series The Kardashians.
