Kim Kardashian thinks her dad would be proud of her latest accomplishment – a Forbes feature on her business acumen.
The reality star graces the July 26th cover of Forbes magazine, with her arms crossed and a slight smile on her lips. The magazine dubbed her a “media mogul.”
Kim shared the cover on twitter. “Such a tremendous honor to be on the cover of @forbes! I never dreamed this would happen & know my Dad would be proud” she captioned the pic.

The cover story describes Kim’s huge success in the mobile game industry with her game Kim Kardashion: Hollywood. The game has been downloaded 45 million times since its launch, bringing in $160 million. Kim has pocketed $45 million from it.
Despite being a controversial figure — “the embodiment of the selfie era,” as Forbes’s Natalie Robehmed described it — Kim is an undoubtedly sharp businesswoman. Forty percent of her income comes from the game.
Kim took a sly shot at her haters on twitter after sharing the cover, introducing the hashtag #NotBadForAGirlWithNoTalent.

Kim feels mobile media is the next step in her career. “I became really intrigued with the tech world.” She told Forbes. “I started spending a lot of time in San Francisco. I’ve realized this is really going to be the next cycle of my career and this is want I want to focus on.”
Twitter’s response was mixed. Many expressed pride and praise for Kim.
She took every single lemon y’all threw from her past & made the best $45million tasting lemonade ???#NotBadForAGirlWithNoTalent

Others derided Forbes for featuring Kim, mocking Kim’s sexual history.
But with millions pouring into her pocketbook, the media queen clearly couldn’t care less.
