The family has been criticized as being famous for being famous. In late May 2020, "Forbes" released an investigation into Kylie's finances, alleging she had misrepresented her billionaire status. Writers Chase Peterson-Withorn and Madeline Berg stated, "...white lies, omissions and outright fabrications are to be expected from the family that perfected—then monetized—the concept of "famous for being famous."" Critics of the family's maintstay show "Keeping up with the Kardashians" have stated the family has "no real skills beyond "being famous for being famous."" "Vogue" stated the Kardashians have "...proved that although they were "famous for being famous" in the 2000s, in the 2010s they became a cultural force to be reckoned with." Sources for family trees:
