Kimberly Kardashian is an American media personality and businesswoman. She rose to fame after the show Keeping Up With the Kardashians went viral.

Aside from the famous American show, Kim also established her name as a successful businesswoman. She owns businesses in multiple fields like clothing and beauty products. However, Kardashian shocked the world when she entered the video game community.

Kim Kardashian over The Guardian of the Galaxy

Kim Kardashian and gaming are like two different genres with nothing alike. However, Kimberly broke that wall in 2014 when she released her mobile game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. In the game, players start as an E-list celebrity and have to become an A-lister. Further, this 2014 mobile game has mostly positive reviews.

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.

Undoubtedly, it’s hard to imagine the amount of influence the Kardashian-Jenner family has over the masses. A simple mobile game outperformed a superhero character from a famous big-budget movie series. People need to think twice before competing against Kardashians, who even defeated a superhero in popularity.
