How does a divorcée with a high school education, no alimony, and four kids to support mastermind the rise of one of America’s most ubiquitous and polarizing families — one that now includes the world’s youngest self-made billionaire? Before she becomes the world’s most famous “momager,” Kris Jenner blows up her marriage to O.J. Simpson lawyer Robert Kardashian. But she leaves with something invaluable: a first-class education in the art of image management. When she meets Bruce Jenner (now known as Caitlyn Jenner), a former Olympian with a sputtering career, he becomes her blueprint for turning a well-known person into a brand. In the first episode of our six part series about the Kardashian-Jenner clan, we look at how Kris’ humble beginnings and failed marriage fuel her drive for wealth and fame — and create the template she and her daughters will use to build a business empire.
