Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's Recent Business Moves
Kourtney Kardashian Barker finalized the sale of her lifestyle brand Poosh to a media company in a deal that closed in late 2023, with terms not publicly disclosed. The transaction followed a period of reduced activity on the Poosh platform, which had launched in 2019 as a wellness and lifestyle destination. Poosh had been positioned as a direct-to-consumer brand competing in the digital health and wellness space alongside established media properties. The sale marked a shift in Kourtney's focus toward family and private ventures, with no new public product launches tied to the Poosh name since the transaction. Forbes reported on the deal structure and brand trajectory.
Travis Barker has continued his involvement in the food and beverage industry through his brand Barker's Boneless, which focuses on pre-cooked chicken products distributed in major U.S. retail chains. The brand expanded its national retail footprint in 2023, with products available in over 7,000 stores across the United States. Barker's Boneless competes in the prepared protein segment with companies like Perdue and Tyson, targeting convenience-focused consumers. The brand's growth has been tracked by industry analysts as part of the broader celebrity-founded food and beverage sector, which saw increased consolidation in 2023. Industry coverage detailed the retail expansion and competitive positioning.
Legal and Regulatory Developments Involving the Kardashian Family
Khloé Kardashian settled a lawsuit filed by a former employee of her skincare brand Good American in 2023, with the terms of the agreement remaining confidential. The case involved claims of workplace retaliation and wrongful termination, and the settlement avoided a public trial. Good American, launched in 2016, operates in the shapewear and denim market alongside competitors like SKIMS and Fenty. The brand's revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, but it remains a visible part of the Kardashian family's portfolio of consumer brands. SEC EDGAR filings can be used to track publicly traded companies in the apparel sector.
Kim Kardashian's ongoing legal work in the criminal justice reform space continued to generate media attention in 2023. She passed the bar exam in 2021 and has since been pursuing a legal apprenticeship under a licensed attorney in California, a path that allows non-law graduates to practice law in the state. Her advocacy has focused on prison reform and clemency cases, drawing on her public profile to highlight specific cases. The California Judicial Council maintains records of all attorney admissions and legal apprenticeship completions, which are part of the state's regulated legal profession framework. The California State Bar publishes official examination and admission results.
Public Appearances and Media Revenue Streams
The Kardashian-Jenner family's media and endorsement revenue remains a significant component of their collective net worth, which Forbes estimated in its annual ranking of the highest-paid celebrities. The family's combined earnings in 2023 were driven by a combination of social media monetization, brand partnerships, and equity stakes in consumer companies. Instagram remains the primary platform for sponsored content, with each family member commanding millions of followers and per-post rates that vary by campaign scope and platform. The family's ability to secure long-term partnerships with major beauty, fashion, and wellness brands has been a consistent revenue driver.
