The Kardashian-Jenner clan – whether you wish to admit it or not – is an emblem of the millennial generation. A success story bound to the social media crazed society we continue to fuel.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians currently boasts 15 seasons on air; if the ratings weren’t there, nothing
Kris Jenner could do would save the show, but they are.
Kim Kardashian boasts 130 million followers on Instagram, while sisters Khloe and Kourtney boast 89.1 million and 74.7 million respectively. As for the Jenner sisters,
Kylie Jenner currently has 129 million followers on Instagram, while Kendall has 106 million. Taking each Kardashian-Jenner sister into account, they boast 528.8 million Instagram followers cumulatively. If you want to discuss retaining a social presence and influence, this family has got it down.
Though many would argue that other celebrity families deserve the title “most famous family” or “most influential,” Will and Jada Pinkett simply cannot compete with the loyal following the Kardashian-Jenners manage to retain.
Kim posts a new dress on Instagram and, within minutes, people are typing in “How much does Kim Kardashian’s new dress cost?” or “Where did Kim Kardashian get her new dress?” In a People Magazine-esque-inspired landscape, this is power.
A Kardashian-Jenner film would be a producer’s, and a director’s, dream
As for the producer, there’s no question that this movie would bring in a ton of money. Kylie Jenner was able to start her makeup brand simply by taking to Instagram and acting as her own greatest advocate. One post of the upcoming trailer, and boom, 50 million people anxiously awaiting the film’s release.
Kim Kardashian, ever since the Ray J sexcapade, has been turning gravel into gold. Of course, all with Kris Jenner manning the reigns. Kris Jenner’s business acumen is unquestionable (and is often considered the source of the family’s success).
As for the director, he or she would get the chance to place a mirror in front of society. The director could – using the most socially influential family – paint a picture of what modern day success looks like, what “influence” means, and how it dictates the entertainment sphere and media coverage. The list of possible angles is endless. However, done correctly, the biopic would be a very poignant and socially relevant masterpiece.
