The SKIMS founder ranked 2,259th on the list with her net wealth $ 1.2 billion. The reality TV star has seen huge success with her Skims shapewear clothing line, with the company worth an estimated $ 3.2 billion.

Meanwhile, Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West was dropped from the list after Adidas cut ties with him over his anti-Semitic comments.

Last year, West, who also goes by Ye, was ranked number 1,513 on Forbes’ rich list and had a multi-year deal with the sports company for his brand Yeezy.

Other stars on the list are Jay-Z and Oprah Winfrey.
