Kim Kardashian has claimed the spotlight, surpassing past GQ Men of the Year like 50 Cent, Jeff Goldblum, and former President Bill Clinton.

In a surprising move, GQ magazine honored reality TV star and businesswoman Kim Kardashian as its 2023 Tycoon of the Year, acknowledging her business acumen, particularly her billion-dollar shapewear line soon to include men's clothing. Describing Kardashian as a "reality star turned mega-mogul," the magazine applauded her outstanding achievements.

At 43, Kardashian joins a select group of women such as Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, and Megan Thee Stallion, who've been recognized as Men of the Year. Reflecting on her business success, Kardashian credited her late father, Robert Kardashian, for instilling in her a sense of business responsibility before his passing in 2003. Recalling her father's words, she shared, "I took what he said to mean that I was going to be OK in life. But it made me make decisions differently."

Over the last 23 years, Kardashian has lived a public life, experiencing marriages, divorces, parenthood, and global travels. Despite facing setbacks in passing the bar exam multiple times, she remains resilient, advocates for prison reform, and has achieved immense success with her shapewear company. Additionally, she has her own cosmetics line, appeared in music videos and TV shows, and previously received GQ's Woman of the Year title in 2014.
