Keeping Kim Kardashian’s flawless look doesn’t come cheap — and according to the businesswoman herself, it costs around $1 million a year just for hair and makeup.

According to *The Richest*, Kim Kardashian revealed the figure during her appearance on the podcast *Call Her Daddy*, where she confessed that her annual beauty budget “probably reaches a million.” “This hair isn’t cheap,” joked Kim, explaining that although she sometimes gets sponsors for events and productions, the costs still range in the six- to seven-figure bracket.
Kim Kardashian is known for her meticulously polished look — the result of an elite team that includes hairstylist Chris Appleton and makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic, two iconic names in the world of celebrity beauty. According to *The Richest*, these professionals can charge between $2,000 and $5,000 per session, meaning Kim’s weekly investment in hair and makeup can easily reach tens of thousands of dollars. Multiplied by 52 weeks, her million-dollar annual estimate even seems modest.
Still, for a woman with an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion — thanks to her SKIMS brand, beauty line, and her television empire *The Kardashians* — this expense is just a fraction of her luxurious lifestyle.
*The Richest* recalls that the businesswoman has already been part of iconic pop culture moments, such as the 2022 Met Gala, when she wore Marilyn Monroe’s legendary “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress, valued at $5 million and owned by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! museum. Although she wore it only briefly, the look required a security team, custom alterations, and transportation logistics worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Kim’s weddings also reflect this grandeur. In 2014, her ceremony with Kanye West cost around $2.8 million, with a Givenchy Haute Couture gown valued at $500,000. Her previous wedding in 2011 to Kris Humphries reached $10 million, including three custom Vera Wang dresses and a 20.5-carat engagement ring valued at $2 million.
As *The Richest* points out, what would be an unthinkable expense for most people is simply part of a brand investment for Kim Kardashian — after all, her face and her hair are, quite literally, the heart of a billion-dollar empire of glamour and influence.
