Future endeavors
We know for a fact that our fashionista mama would love to design some cool maternity wear. Kourtney had been quoted saying, “I would love to design a maternity clothing line. It is so hard to find stylish clothes for pregnant people I would say 99% of the clothes I wore were not maternity because I couldn’t find anything I liked.”
Final thoughts
Kourtney has never been as aggressive in terms of making money as her sister Kim and Kylie. Kourtney Kardashian net worth has thus escalated at its own sweet and right pace over the years to amount to the fortune that it is today.
In an interview with CNBC, she said, “The biggest thing that my dad always told us was just that money doesn’t buy happiness. He would drill that into our heads.” We can see that our eldest thoughtful Kardashian has taken that lesson well.
Furthermore, our enthusiastic entrepreneur knows best when it comes to business. She says that “It’s much easier to have someone negotiate on your behalf, but meeting people in person and negotiating yourself will always be the best.”
Our Kardashian has not forgotten what it took to be here. When questioned on her spending habits in an interview with CNBC, she said that she learned about saving and credit from her boyfriend she had right after college. She says he taught her everything about credit. He would give her a small amount of cash to be more conscious of her spending and have her report back how and where she spent it.
Awww! Isn’t that sweet?
