Businesswoman Kim Kardashian has sold 20% of KKW Beauty for $200M

Kim Kardashian West has sold 20 per cent of KKW Beauty to Coty Inc. for a whopping $200 million.

The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star – who launched the brand in 2017 – and the beauty giant finalised the major deal on Tuesday (05.01.21).

Kim said in a statement: “I’m so proud of how the KKW brand has grown over the past four years, and I look forward to working with Coty for the next phase of innovation, advancement, and the ability to bring new launches to customers all around the world. This relationship will allow me to lead the development of the creative elements that I specialise in, while benefiting from the incredible resources of an established company like Coty.”

The 40-year-old reality star is working on a skincare line for 2022 and is also expanding to other areas of beauty such as hair and nails.

Coty CEO, Sue Y. Nabi, commented: “Kim shares our true passion for beauty products, and this acquisition allows us to leverage our respective strengths for mutual benefit and value creation.

“Coty brings unique IP in skincare, the scientific knowledge of the skin as reflected in our formulation know-how, while Kim brings a huge global following and unparalleled influence over consumer choice.
