As you can see, Kardashian makes no mention of the period this payment covers, but analysis of Glu Mobile's calendar 2015 financial results suggests that it is not related to the game's quarterly or annual revenue. In a call with investors, Glu CFO Eric Ludwig said that Kim Kardashian: Hollywood earned $13.6 million in Q4, or 24 per cent of the company's total revenue for that period. Across the entire calendar year, the game earned $71.8 million, or 30 per cent of total revenue.

So, while Kim Kardashian: Hollywood's importance to Glu Mobile's business is undeniable, the amount of money it now brings into the company seems misaligned with the money just paid to Kardashian. Indeed, the game's earning power has declined significantly since the period following its full launch in 2014, when it generated $43.4 million in revenue in a single quarter (Q3). In the same quarter in 2015, its revenue had fallen to $18.8 million.

Hopefully she can help Kanye out of his hole then.

 

[Jako]

You gotta love the fact that she sounds like a parody account

 

[Falcs]

I know someone who spent $200 on her shitty game.

Ridiculous.

 

[Joey Ravn]

Kim does what Mark Zuckerbergdon't.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Hopefully she can help Kanye out of his hole then.

I thought he denied being into that stuff?

 

[Phreakuency]

Her family say a lot of things that aren't true.

 

[Warxard]

I sure can't wait for a gaming side thread discussion on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. That is just what I needed this morning.

I thought he denied being into that stuff?

AYYYYY

 

[Respawn]

What a silly woman. Poor folks making rich people richer.

 

[MassiveNights]

I'm gonna go ahead and say this isn't serious, 100% verified financial news.

 

[Ceadeus]

Edit: Was a good video game wasn't it.

 

[newsguy]

I thought he denied being into that stuff?

Boom.

 

[Acquiescence]

.

You might want to edit that, it won't go down well.

 

[Infinite]

What a silly woman. Poor folks making rich people richer.

Ain't that's what you do as well?

 

[maquiladora]

Kim conference at E3 this year?

 

[GrantDaNasty]

Good for her!

There are still folks out there who only think of Kim Kardashian as "that chick from the sex video with Ray J", which is super-depressing, as she's doing well for herself, and is certainly in a better place mentally than the boy Kanye, whom many are quite fond of.

 

[iPaul93]

I wonder spent money on this crap.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

oh hooray another thread where people needlessly bash her.

 

[Ghostbound]

I sure can't wait for a gaming side thread discussion on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. That is just what I needed this morning.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Milly Osworth]

If aliens ever discover earth, things like this will make them turn around and fly away as fast as they can...

 

[brawly]

Can't knock the hustle. Plus, that tweet is great lol.

 

[GrantDaNasty]

What, Capitalism?

I mean...probably.

 

[Gattsu25]

I thought he denied being into that stuff?

OMG haha

 

[Hip Hop]

The hate for this women (and Kanye) and the family are off the charts. lmao

This is what every family should be striving for, helping each and every member of it strive and get money on their own, bringing more power to the last name, the hustle is unstoppable and more props to them.

 

[ClosingADoor]

I too trust all the bullshit and numbers I see on Twitter.

 

[Nightbird]

"53 Million in the joint account"

Did she just pulled Kanye out of his debts?

 

[Oersted]

So Glu Mobile had to pay more than they got trough the game? Seems odd and problematic.

 

[Isotope]

Not even mad; just very jealous. The things I could do with less than of half that...

 

[GrantDaNasty]

"53 Million in the joint account"

Did she just pulled Kanye out of his debts?

I believe that is what she's hinting at, yea.

Which hey, nothing wrong with a woman providing for the family and being the breadwinner.

Edit: Was a good video game wasn't it.

even with the edit, you sound so petty about this. Get. Over. Yourself.

Sounds like it

 

[Mozendo]

Does anyone have the clip of her Show when she's being all dramatic about including her sister's boyfriend(?) in her game? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

The family profited off Kim's sex tape, I wouldn't say they are a good role model for a family at all.

 

[Nibel]

Before this thread gets too large, I would implore everyone reading this to just please cast your eyes over this tweet.

That image is probably NSFW

Okay

And

 

[SomedayTheFire]

They took a situation that was degrading and a complete and utter invasion of privacy and turned it into a monetary gain. What's the problem with that?

the following poster sums up my thoughts on it as well, seems more like taking lemons and making lemonade out of 'em. It's already the internet, there was no putting that genie back in the bottle, right?

They took a situation that was degrading and a complete and utter invasion of privacy and turned it into monetary wealth. What's the problem with that?

 

[gamz]

They know how to print money. Kudos.

 

[RipperGrim]

Oh no, don't get me wrong, that's totally all right, it's just that wiping away a 53 Million debt in one go sounds completely unreal to me haha

 

[NotLiquid]

If you're going to have your privacy exploited for everyone's gain but yours you might as well make some good coin off of it.

 

[leeh]

This. Kudos to them.

"super-depressing" Are you having a laugh?
What actually is super depressing is the entire reality celebrity bullshit.

 

[GrantDaNasty]

Don't worry, wasn't trying to imply any stance on your part, just feel some folks might feel slighted by the idea, just won't admit it.

 

[Inferno313]

A. That was 13 YEARS ago.

B. Why is this a problem?

Celebrities and rich people aren't individuals at the end of the day I suppose. K1M-BOT is here just for your personal amusement.

Why is it a problem to use your daughter's sex tape to launch a career? Does this shit really need to be explained?

 

[Warxard]

Suggesting it's what other should strive to do?

. Is sex so fucking taboo to you that the idea of taping yourself having sex and selling it o interested people just bad?

Do you get riled up at the idea of pornstars retiring and raising kids too

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Why is it a problem to use your daughter's sex tape to launch a career? Does this shit really need to be explained?

Yes.
