KRIS JENNER USING SLAVES OTHER THAN HER CHILDREN TO BUILD HER EMPIRE
December 21 2011
Los Angeles, CA – In the annals of celebrity there has perhaps been no greater success than the Kardashian Klan. No member of the group sings, acts, or does anything that would normally allow a person to become rich and famous, yet they are 
all very rich and famous. Seemingly pulling fame out of nowhere, the group, led by den mother Kris Jenner, has become a behemoth, generating millions of dollars a year for no apparent reason.
With perfume, clothing, and all manner of revenue sources, the family reportedly brings in upwards of $65 million a year, all led of course by Jenner who has shepherded her daughters’ careers into this improbable success.
All, despite the wealth and fame, is not perfect in Kardashian Inc. A massive backlash has dogged primary earner Kim Kardashian after she her high profile marriage and quickie divorce, and now the family has run into labour issues with the revelation that they are using slave labour in China. Now Jenner has lashed out against critics, making sure that everyone knows she treats all employees, whether related or not, equally.
“As far as I know the factories that are used to manufacture the Kardashian clothing and shoes have nothing terrible going on at all and the factories are very well policed and meet factory standards,”
Jenner told TMZ.
Reportedly, the workers at the facilities work 84 hours a week and make about a dollar an hour, which is fairly standard in China and in line with pay rates for the Kardashian children, though the children do receive side benefits such as private plane trips.
Khloe Kardashian reportedly receives the least amount of money and is also forced to move the heaviest things, largely because of her inhuman level of strength.
“Look, conditions throughout China are not great. Other corporations have suffered this kind of thing in the past, even bigger ones with far better reputations. This is a part of doing business in China. People are not treated well there, that is not new news,” said Scrape TV Business analyst Ken Green. “It’s also keeping in line with the way the Kardashian business is run. Obviously, there are more protections in the United States which ensures better treatment and higher pay of the children, but only 
slightly better. I’m sure if those protections weren’t in place and it didn’t hurt the business, the kids wouldn’t get the same treatment, especially Kourtney. Even in that world I’m not sure what she adds.”
Kourtney is the short one with the baby.
“As a business owner you do need to take responsibility for all aspects of your business. If your supply chain is corrupted, or if your employees are problematic, you have an obligation to repair that so long as it doesn’t hurt profits,” continued Green. “This is part of the growing pains for Jenner and something she is going to have to take seriously otherwise she could have a rebellion on her hands and the whole empire could collapse.”
There have been no labour complaints from the children, yet.
