Kendall Jenner Real Estate Portfolio
In 2014, Kendall made her first real estate acquisition when she bought a condo in Westwood, California for $1.3 million. She tried to sell that condo in June 2017 for $1.6 million but eventually had to lower the price to $1.5 million to find a buyer. In 2017, Kendall sold her Hollywood Hills home for $6.85 million. She gained around $350,000 from the sale after buying in 2016 from actors John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. Jimmy Kimmel lived directly across the street. Blunt and Krasinski bought the house in 2009 for $1.86 million. In October 2017, Kendall picked up a five-bedroom home in Beverly Hills for $8.55 million. A big reason she sold the Hollywood Hills home was due to the fact that it was semi-exposed and she had a number of 911 stalker incidents at the property. The new Beverly Hills home is in the much more secure gated community of Mulholland Estates. Though it should be noted that Paris Hilton’s Mulholland home was burglarized FIVE TIMES. Today her next door neighbor is Christina Aguilera.
Other Creative Pursuits
In addition to modeling, Jenner has ventured behind the camera herself. Her first published work as a photographer was in the sixteenth anniversary issue of LOVE magazine, where she styled and photographed Kaia Gerber, daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford. Jenner also co-authored the novel “Rebels: City of Indra” (2014) with her sister Kylie and ghostwriter Maya Sloan.
Business Ventures
Together with her younger sister Kylie, as well as her Kardashian family, Jenner has secured several lucrative business deals. In 2011 she created two nail lacquers for the Kardashian Kolors nail polish line by Nicole by OPI, eventually earning a combined profit with Kylie of $100,000. The Jenner sisters’ other collaborations include their 2013 “Metal Haven by Kendall & Kylie” jewelry collection with Mascal Mouawad’s Glamhouse, their 2014 shoe and handbag line for Nordstrom under Steve Madden’s Madden Girl line, “The Kendall & Kylie Collection” with PacSun launched in 2013, and the “Kendall + Kylie” Topshop collection launched in 2016. Furthermore, in September 2015 each of the Jenner and Kardashian sisters released a paid subscription mobile app website in collaboration with Whalerock Industries, and in 2016 the Jenner sisters partnered with Glu Mobile to launch the “Kendall and Kylie” app, a spinoff of their older sister Kim’s app “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood.”
Controversy
Jenner is no stranger to controversy and public backlash. In January 2017, Jenner was paid $250,000 for an Instagram post promoting the upcoming Fyre Festival. Fyre Festival was actually a fraudulent event, plagued with corruption and inefficiencies, and many criticized Jenner for promoting the event. In April 2017, she starred in a Pepsi commercial titled “Live for Now.” The commercial was live for only one day, after it was heavily criticized for trivializing the Black Lives Matter movement and protests against policy brutality.
In June 2017 she was once again in hot water, when she launched a line of T-shirts with sister Kylie that featured logos or images of famous musicians or bands, including Tupac Shakur, The Doors, Metallica, Pink Floyd, and The Notorious B.I.G. Several of the estates of the featured artists filed cease and desist letters, with the photographer whose image of Tupac Shakur was used even suing the sisters for copyright infringement. The sisters took down the shirts and issued a public apology.
Personal Life
Unlike her siblings, Jenner does not publicly disclose details of her love life.
