“Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star Kim Kardashian West decided to piggyback off her sister, makeup maven Kylie Jenner, and launch a beauty line of her own. Less than three hours after the contour and highlight kits debuted, they 300,000 kits were sold out. That means she made an estimated $14.4 million in one day, which significantly increases her net worth.

So how rich is KKW?

According to Forbes, Kardashian West had an estimated net worth of $45.5 million as of June 9. That’s $5.5 million less than 2016, considering she was robbed in Paris last October and went on a social media blackout for several months.

Of course, since then, she launched her KKW lip kit line with Kylie Cosmetics and then branch out on her own for the KKW highlighter and contour kit. Currently, it’s unclear how much of the reported $14.4 million she made off the $48 Crème Contour & Highlight Kits were pure profit.

Kardashian admitted she was inspired by Jenner’s success to create a makeup kit line of her own. “We have a good model, and even from our lip kit, we have a really good general idea of what our customer is going to be like. We are definitely prepared for the demand,” Kardashian West told Women’s Wear Daily Monday.

The Crème Contour and Highlight Kits were created in four shades: Light, Medium, Dark and Deep Dark. Each of the kits are come with dual-ended contour stick and dual-ended highlighter. There is one for matte looks another for shimmering highlight. Lastly, there is a dual-ended sponge and blending brush.

Kardashian West took to Instagram Thursday to thank everyone for their support.
