Kim Kardashian, the 44-year-old reality star and entrepreneur, has officially stepped into the role of “momager” for her 11-year-old daughter, North West. While Kim has built her own billion-dollar empire, she never expected to take on this responsibility so soon. However, as North’s career takes off, Kim has found herself juggling the demands of managing her daughter’s rise in the spotlight.
On the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim revealed, “I really wasn’t planning on being a momager for, like, another ten years.” Despite her initial hesitation, she has embraced the challenge, though she made it clear she won’t be following her mother, Kris Jenner’s, famous business model exactly. Kim humorously added, “But, guess what? This momager is not taking ten percent.”
Kris Jenner, 69, has long been the mastermind behind the Kardashian-Jenner brand, managing the careers of her children and earning her signature ten percent commission. Now, Kim finds herself in a similar position, guiding North’s growing presence in entertainment and fashion.
However, Kim has admitted that managing North’s career has been overwhelming. She expressed feeling “really conflicted” about her daughter’s sudden rise, acknowledging that she wasn’t prepared for this new role. “I thought I was busy before. North, me having to be her momager right now is crazy,” she said. “It was not on my bingo card for this year.”
One of the biggest challenges Kim has faced is balancing her own commitments with North’s. She explained that being present at North’s photoshoots and events has been more demanding than she initially thought. “If she has a shoot, I have to be there all day, so it’s like her or me,” Kim shared.
This shift in priorities has led to a struggle in finding a healthy work-life balance. Between running her businesses, filming The Kardashians, and parenting four children, Kim’s plate is fuller than ever. “It’s just a lot to manage,” she admitted.
As North continues to gain traction in the entertainment industry, it remains to be seen how Kim will navigate this new chapter. Will she follow in Kris Jenner’s footsteps completely, or will she redefine what it means to be a “momager” in today’s world? One thing is certain North West is on the rise, and with Kim Kardashian at the helm, her future looks bright.
