‘FORBES’: KIM KARDASHIAN IS OFFICIALLY A BILLIONAIRE – (04/07/2021)
Kim Kardashian is officially a billionaire, Forbes reports. The reality star and lawyer-in-training is worth $1 billion now, up from $780 million in October. Forbes reports that Kim “borrowed” from her sister Kylie Jenner’s “playbook,” founding KKW Beauty in 2017, after Kylie’s success with Kylie Cosmetics.
KKW Beauty, Skims, cash, KUWTK and endorsement deals ballooned her worth, Forbes reports.
Kylie was famously dubbed Forbes’ youngest billionaire in 2019, but later the magazine claimed its own report was wrong, and that Kylie’s Cosmetics, was “significantly smaller, and less profitable, than the family has spent years leading the cosmetics industry and media outlets.” Her revised net worth? $900M. Kylie disputed Forbes’ later report.

TYLER PERRY SETS UP VAX SITE – (04/07/2021)
Tyler Perry wants his crew back on-set, and he’s ready to invest in their health to make it happen. After getting his COVID-19 vaccine on TV in January to reduce public fear about it, he’s now helping his crew get vaccinated.
The film and TV mogul set up a site at Tyler Perry Studios production facility in Atlanta, Georgia, funding it himself, but working in collaboration with the nearby Grady Hospital to make it happen. He opened the doors to crew, and their family and friends.
“There’s still a lot of vaccine hesitancy out there,” Perry tells The Hollywood Reporter, noting that 55 percent of his crew agreed to get vaccinated. “It’s my hope that people will just get out and get the vaccine, and know that I have it and other members of my staff have it and we’ve no issues, no problems.”
For the past year, when in operation, the studio has been working in a bubble; the vaccine rollout would help ease that. Perry is one of the first in Hollywood to aggressively pursue vaccinated crew members; most studio have told cast and crew that they need to line up their own shots.
