The female billionaire won thanks to the success of the Skims lingerie brand. In 2020, Kim launched a series of unisex clothes (both men and women can wear) with the “Boyfriend Collection” collection. In October, the company launched a men’s line of underwear, undershirts and leggings priced around $16 to $54. The products range in sizes from extra small to 5X, made from three types of fabric: cotton, stretch and spandex.
The brand is a partner of the NBA, WNBA and USA Basketball. The promotional campaign includes players Neymar, Nick Bosa and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

According to CNN, men now make up more than 10% of Skims’ customers, which is valued at about $4 billion. The men’s underwear market is worth $5.7 billion, with sales growing 2% over the past year. “The expansion is an important milestone for the brand, Skims is committed to bringing solutions to everyone,” Kim said. According to the New York Post, she knows that men are also insecure and self-conscious about their appearance, so she wants to help them.
From a young age, her father Robert inspired her to love men’s clothing and want to do business, and she often wore his clothes. Robert once lent his children money to do business on eBay.
