Kris Jenner is the self-proclaimed 'momager' of the clan and boosted her family's image with their reality show, "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."

Robert married Jenner in 1978, and the couple had four children: Kim, Khloé, Kourtney, and Robert Jr, before parting ways in 1991.

Even though Kim is the most famous and successful Kardashian, the 34-year-old Khloé is not trailing far behind her older sister.

She was married to NBA basketball player Lamar Odom, but the couple parted ways in 2013. She recently gave birth to her first child with NBA player Tristan Thompson.

Khloé has a fashion line called the Good American and is said to have a net worth $35 million.
