New business for one of the most powerful influencers in the United States. After reality TV, makeup or sculpting underwear, Kim Kardashian announced Wednesday the creation of the private equity firm SKKY Partners.
The American star, who rose to fame with the show The Amazing Kardashian Family, co-founded the company with Jay Sammons, a specialist in the field, she tweeted.
She will also be working with her mother, Kris Jenner, another figure from their reality show, who will be a partner in our business, Kim Kardashian said.
SKKY Partners’ target sectors include consumer products, e-commerce and digital, media, hospitality and luxury, according to a post on the company’s Instagram account.
The Incredible Kardashian Family, a reality show that became a must-see and ended in 2021, followed the daily life of the wealthy Los Angeles clan. The family has since jumped on the streaming bandwagon, boarding the Hulu platform for a new show with a very similar concept.
At 41, Kim Kardashian has turned her celebrity into a business empire, with the SKKN by Kim makeup line and the Skims sculpting underwear brand. Her fortune is estimated at $1.8 billion by the trade magazine Forbes.
Jay Sammons, a former head of the Carlyle Group investment fund, told The Wall Street Journal that he contacted Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner this summer about launching the company. The most exciting part is talking to these founders and understanding what their dream is, Kim Kardashian told the New York media outlet, saying her company expects to make its first investment before the end of the year.

Alexei Navalny’s body, which his relatives had been demanding for over a week, has been handed over to his mother, the Russian opposition leader’s spokeswoman said on Saturday.
In recent days, Alexeï Navalny’s team has regularly complained about not having access to the body of the deceased Russian opponent. His relatives had complained that investigators would spend at least 14 days carrying out an “expertise” on his remains before handing them over.
Navalny’s relatives accuse the Kremlin of killing him and trying to cover up his tracks. According to Navalny’s mother, Russia is trying to decompose the body so that it can no longer be examined. Last week, Alexei Navalny’s mother and lawyers were not allowed to enter the morgue.
Eight days after his death, Navalny’s body was returned to his mother. The Russian opponent’s spokeswoman, Kira Iarmich, said on X (ex-Twitter) that she did not yet know whether “the authorities will prevent (the funeral) from taking place as the family wishes and as Alexei deserves ».
Alexei Navalny was the most prominent opposition figure in Russia, where he gained widespread popularity, particularly among the younger generation, thanks to his in-depth investigations into corruption under Vladimir Putin’s regime
