presumption is that the Kardashian-Jenner family are ‘famous for being famous’
because of their reality television show, however, each family member has
created their own media empire for themselves and for the family as a whole.

promotes consumerism.
With their
hugely successful reality television show spanning nearly a decade and their
various business ventures such as app development, book deals and modeling the
Kardashian-Jenner family have cemented themselves in the center of the public

family unit.
