Like, whatever. Kim Kardashian is the daughter of Robert Kardashian, OJ Simpson's lawyer.
Her entire existence as a "famous-for-being-famous" celebrity is owed to the much greater and timelessly famous-for-being-famous celebrity, Paris Hilton. KK basically worked as Hilton's slave, cleaning her closet, being verbally abused, etc and now desperately attempts to be something on her own by achieving a vast financial empire, to little avail as her husband Mr. West's debts are staggeringly large.

Basically,
Kim K : Paris :: Jeb Bush : Donald Trump

Dunno. There was probably a legendary super-wealthy patrician caught having sex with a super-proccured courtesan that was the talk of Rome for several years. Or not. But it's not like there weren't celebrities of some sort back before telecomunications were around. Just fewer, and there would usually be a higher bar for achievement.

Like Paris, the explosion into pop-culture was enabled by a """leaked""" sex-tape, not too uncommon.

The only lasting cultural impact left by Kim is further promulgating the popularity of cosmetically enhanced posteriors, which they cannot even take credit for in totality, as the trend was advanced much earlier by popular Hispanic singer Jennifer Lopez.

The extent of their involvement as a sex symbol is appearing european and *non-Hispanic*, thereby making so-perceived black/hispanic sexuality digestible to white audiences.

famous courtesan fucking a famous musician

she is merely a celebrity of her time. How many other celebrities of the past do you know of? probably very little.
