Kendall Jenner Biography

Kendall Jenner is a model whose fame first grew from being the younger sister of Kim Kardashian and her sisters Kourtney and Khloe.

Kendall Jenner is the daughter of Kris Kardashian and Caitlyn Jenner, who as Bruce Jenner was an Olympic gold medalist and national hero in 1976. Kendall began appearing on television in 2007, popping up now and then as a member of the family as seen in Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

It was a short hop from there for the 5’10” beauty to make her name as a model in the New York fashion scene. 2013 was a breakout year for her, both on the runway and on the covers of magazines like Harper’s Bazaar Arabia. The next few years were even better as Jenner moved up to magazines like Style and GQ and Paris Vogue, boosted her social media presence, hosted public events and did her part to build the Kardashian-Jenner socialite brand.

By 2017, Forbes magazine was describing her as the world’s “highest-paid model.” With her sister, Kylie Jenner, she started a lifestyle brand called Kendall + Kylie. Kendall Jenner has also continued to appear in the many spinoffs of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, including Kourtney and Kim Take Miami, Kourtney and Khloé Take The Hamptons, and The Kardashians.
