Early life


Jenner was born Kristen Mary Houghton in San Diego, California, the daughter of Mary (née Campbell) and David Houghton. She has two sisters, Karen and Sarah. Her parents divorced when she was seven, and she and her sisters were raised by her mother.

Involvement in O.J. Simpson trial


The Kardashian family was very close to O.J. Simpson and Nicole Brown Simpson. The Simpson trial caused conflict between Kris and Robert. Kardashian was on O.J.'s defense team, while Nicole had been Jenner's best friend. (Kris named daughter Kendall Nicole Jenner after Nicole Brown Simpson.)
In 2008, when O.J. Simpson was sentenced for armed robbery, Jenner said she had "mixed emotions" about the sentence.






Career and Fame


Jenner and her first daughter, Kourtney Kardashian, opened "Smooch," a children's clothing boutique, in 2003. They operated the store until late 2009, when they decided to close it because Kourtney became pregnant. She became a millionaire over night, due to the TV show, Keeping up with the Kardashians. Jenner now manages the careers of all the members of her family and co-manages the girl group BG5, or The Beach Girl5, with son Rob. Kris and her current husband, Bruce Jenner own Jenner Communications Inc. together. She is best known for being the executive producer and starring in the reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Jenner also produces Khloe & Lamar, a show featuring her third daughter Khloe. The Kardashian family made a combined total of 65 million dollars in 2010.. Kris Jenner's current net worth alone is estimated to be 20 million dollars.

She and current husband, Bruce Jenner, married on April 21, 1991. Bruce had four children from a former marriage: Burt, Casey, Brody, and Brandon. Kris and Bruce have two daughters, Kendall Nicole (b. November 3, 1995) and Kylie Kristen (b. August 10, 1997). Kris also works with the pop group BG5.

Tattoos and plastic surgery
