Khloé Alexandra Kardashian was born on 27 June 1984 in Los Angeles, California, the youngest of three daughters born to attorney Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner, and the elder sister of Rob Kardashian. Her father served on O. J. Simpson’s defence team during his widely covered 1995 murder trial, a connection that first placed the Kardashian surname in the American public eye more than a decade before the family’s reality television career began. Khloé grew up in Los Angeles alongside older sisters Kourtney and Kim, attending a string of schools including Marymount High School before moving to the alternative Alexandria Academy, where she completed three years of secondary education in one and graduated with honours at seventeen, according to Wikipedia.

Before appearing on screen, Khloé worked as a personal assistant to socialite Nicole Richie, a friend from school, and in June 2006 she opened the Calabasas branch of D-A-S-H, a boutique she ran together with sisters Kourtney and Kim. The shop’s early years were unglamorous: the sisters had no staff, funded stock through a credit card connected to their late father’s estate, and went months without turning a profit while doing the cleaning, bookkeeping and steaming of clothes themselves, according to Wikipedia. That modest retail venture was already under way when the family agreed to film a new E! docuseries, “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”, which premiered in 2007 and turned Khloé and her sisters into fixtures of American popular culture almost overnight.

“Keeping Up with the Kardashians” ran for fourteen years and 20 seasons before ending in 2021, and its success spun off several Khloé-focused series, including “Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami”, which followed the sisters opening a second D-A-S-H store, and “Khloé & Lamar”, built around her first marriage. Her breakthrough beyond the family brand came in 2012, when she was confirmed alongside Mario Lopez as the new co-host of “The X Factor” USA for its second season, a mainstream network booking that marked her move from reality television personality to broadcaster in her own right, according to HELLO!. The BBC reported at the time that the hosting role was viewed as a significant step up in mainstream credibility for a cast member best known until then for a family docusoap, according to BBC Newsbeat.

Khloé’s most significant professional achievement to date is co-founding the denim and apparel label Good American with entrepreneur Emma Grede in October 2016. The brand generated one million dollars in sales on its first day alone, a result that outlets covering the launch described as the biggest denim launch in apparel history, and it built its identity around an inclusive size range running from 00 to 24, an approach rarely attempted by size-focused denim labels at the time, according to PR Newswire. The achievement reoriented Khloé’s public identity away from reality television alone and towards business, giving her a genuine operating company rather than a licensed merchandise line.

The scale of Good American’s launch and its subsequent growth earned Khloé and Emma Grede a place in the Business of Fashion’s BoF 500, an annual list profiling the people judged most influential across the global fashion industry, where the pair were listed in the Entrepreneurs category from 2019. The entry credited the brand’s data-led approach to inclusivity, noting that the founders introduced a size 15 after recognising that half of all returns clustered around sizes 14 to 16, a detail held up as evidence of genuine operational involvement rather than a celebrity name licensed to someone else’s business, according to The Business of Fashion.

Alongside her own ventures, Khloé has taken on a run of paid brand partnerships over the years. She became a brand ambassador and investor in the supplement company Dose & Co in October 2020, having earlier signed on as a face of the oral care brand Burst in December 2018, and she fronted her own Pink Diamond scent as part of the family’s joint KKW Fragrance Diamond Collection in November 2019, with sponsored Instagram post rates reported at around 75,000 dollars each as far back as 2016, according to Wikipedia. She has also collaborated repeatedly with half-sister Kylie Jenner’s cosmetics line, releasing a “Koko” makeup collection announced in May 2017 as a follow-up to an earlier joint collection, according to Wikipedia.

Good American remains Khloé’s primary business interest. The company began with denim before expanding into activewear, dresses and a maternity range, according to Wikipedia, and Forbes has described Khloé as a genuinely “hands on” co-founder who, in Grede’s own words, cares deeply about the product itself rather than serving as a passive face for the brand, according to Forbes. Speaking on her own podcast in March 2026, Khloé pushed back on rumours that she had quietly exited the company, stating plainly that she remains “co-founder and owner” and that the brand has become “strong enough and stable enough to sustain on its own” after years of hands-on involvement, according to E! Online. She has since diversified further, launching the protein popcorn brand Khloud in 2025 and continuing to appear as an executive producer and cast member on “The Kardashians” on Hulu, which has run since 2022 as the successor to the original E! franchise.

Khloé’s most significant disclosed asset outside her business interests is her home in the Ashley Ridge neighbourhood of Hidden Hills, California, next door to her mother Kris Jenner and close to sister Kim Kardashian’s estate. She bought the 1.86-acre plot for seventeen million dollars in October 2020 and then spent close to two years designing and building a house from scratch rather than buying an existing property, moving in during November 2021. The finished home was built in a modern farmhouse style and includes a resort-style pool with stone decking, a private cinema room, a home gym, an organised walk-in pantry and multiple covered outdoor patios, according to Housing Market News.
