Only in America are people so shallow that a fortune can be made with little to no talent. Personally I'm tired of hearing about this clan and have never watched the show. Saw the one Kardashian on 'Dancing with the Stars' and that girl doesn't have any charm or musical talent in her body.

I don't know why you were down voted, but I agree. I don't understand how someone/some people can contribute so little yet gain so much.

You don't know why he got downvoted? It's obviously not "only in America"...

Well I'm from America, and I didn't take offense. However, my only reference is what I see here in the states.

I guess my point is that if you don't agree, perhaps it's good form to explain why.

I would expect people on a business-related forum to understand exactly why the Kardashians make as much money as they do. It's like business 101.

They produce things that people want to buy.

I think you missed the point of my post. My question is not why they make money, but why do people value their contribution. Hint: Celebrity driven culture - I get it. That doesn't mean I like it.

Yes, Katie Price could add a thing or two about the situation in the UK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katie_Price
