It would be hard to believe if someone claimed not to know about the Kardashian-Jenner clan. They are one of the most influential American families. Even a superhero failed to compete against Kim Kardashian.

Kimberly Kardashian is an American media personality and businesswoman. She rose to fame after the show Keeping Up With the Kardashians went viral. The show followed the high-profile lives of the Kardashian-Jenner family members. Also, Kim became famous because of her relationships, especially because she was married to Kanye West, one of the most successful American rappers.

Further, the game became such a hit that Kim’s in-game avatar became even more popular than the superhero Star-Lord. The American actor, Chris Pratt, got a massive popularity boost after playing the Star-Lord role in the Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy. Further, this movie became a fan favorite and earned around $94 million from its opening in the US.

But the American audience resonated more with Kim Kardashian than with the superhero Star-Lord. In 2014, Time Magazine ranked second as the most influential onscreen character, while the Marvel superhero was ranked third. Further, the magazine claimed Kardashian’s video game fans spent around $200 million on in-game clothes and jewelry.
