Rob Kardashian Case Study

Decent Essays
Rob Kardashian might be getting back into the family business, but not the business you might think. Rob Kardashian is a successful sock designer, so he probably wasn't hurting for cash, but the pricey arrest of new girlfriend Blac Chyna and getting thrown out of the home he shared with older sister Khloe Kardashian, might have the only Kardashian son experiencing a cash flow problem. At least, that's what veteran porn mogul Larry Flint is hoping.

According to TMZ, Larry Flint recently sent a letter to Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna offering them the chance to appear in their very own sex tape. It seems that Larry Flint is looking to expand his empire into the lucrative celebrity sex tape market, and he thinks Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna would be the perfect candidates to help launch the division. How confident is Flint that Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna are the right couple? In the letter, Flint says the two could make up to $1 million.

A sex tape that Kim Kardashian West made with Ray J leaked in 2006. While most people would have shied away from the spotlight after such an intimate moment became public, Kim Kardashian West and her family rode the wave of public interest into multi-million dollar careers for all of them. According to Forbes, Kim Kardashian West earned $52.3 million in 2015, nearly twice what she earned in 2014. In fact, Kim Kardashian West is so dominant in the realm of reality television, that she is the only reality television personality to appear on the Forbes"The World's Highest Paid Celebrities" list. Granted, most of that came from revenue generated by her iOS game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, but it's hard to imagine that any of it would have been possible if the sex tape hadn't made her a household

    Josh Duggar is never going to live down the questionable things he did in his life. Every story about him is founded on the molestation scandal involving his sisters or the Ashley Madison profile he used to allegedly have extra-martial affairs while living in the nation's capital. Duggar had been out of the spotlight for several months after the scandals broke, with virtually no update about his progress in rehab.

There has been a lot of talk about the Ashley Madison profile Josh Duggar used because while it was his account, the photo attached to it was not his own.…
