@Mariyeen Acheege I agree with you, many people have done terrible things in their past and they are still at the same level financially. Kim has used the negativity of people and turned it to gold. You just have to work hard in this world regardless of your past.

Well it started when I thought of capitalizing on a sex tape. Everyone on this thread don’t remember.
If someone continues to succeed they must be doing something right. One thing for sure is that if you are a nice and kind person, everyone you meet will partake in seeing that you are successful.
the interviewer is so adorable, and asked amazing questions, rather than asking irrelevant questions about tabloids. Kim is very well spoken, when she is actually given a chance to share her thoughts.
What a Lovely gentleman you are Mr Forbes
I love that he watches the show!! 😂
This interview is so amazing, the interviewer seems really interested in what Kim has to say and treated her as the good businesswoman that she is💚

If you seen her earlier on in the show she actually really struggled with public speaking xx practice makes perfect and always fake it till you make it xx
This nails exactly what uneducated people fail to realize.... Call her whatever you want, she is still "One of the most powerful brands in the WORLD." She and her family are genius marketers, which by the way requires hard work and above all BRAINS! Only another power house can understand her and the family's business strategy. To respect hard working women, that should be the take-away point from a highly judged family.

Kim is a kick ass entrepreneur! So happy to see all the positive comments on this. I love that he watches the show too! Keep doing your thing girl!
Wow, those are almost definitely the most meaningful presents Kim has ever gotten from an interviewer. As just a viewer, I appreciate the time and effort he put in to this interview, and I’m sure she does, as well. No questions about naked selfies or drama - just raw, meaningful questions. I’m sure no one has EVER asked Kim about the Armenian genocide. Well done, and subscribed. About to binge watch all of your other interviews. Can’t give this enough of a positive review! Big thumbs up!

She said the boy couldn’t read or write but then said, “he wrote this long letter”!🤥🤯
Those gifts were so thoughtful, you could tell he admired and respected her. Nicely done.
One of the things that helped and still helping KK is her family. Her support system is strong, stable, and SOLID. Not that you can’t become successful without your family, but that’s her core of everything she does. They are all involved and support each other. They are an amazing family.
❤❤love this, this man is a classy individual, non judgemental and focused on the right things
How can anyone hate this girl? She is very sweet and possesses great business acumen.
I noticed too as she was expressing how excited & proud she was to have exceled to a place where creative control was hers. It was refreshing to hear her still say "WE"
Love the interview... that man was totally a Kim fan!!! Loved it

This is by far the best interview I've seen with her. He did such a great job with these questions, so relevant and interesting!
Wow -- a bunch of decent comments! I am positively surprised. Good interview too.
I love how confident she is during interviews and that man was fantastic! Kim has done what she has done in the past, we all make mistakes, but since so many young women look up to her, we might as well use her as a business role model and stop bringing up the past. Well done, Kim. I hope all goes well for you and I hope that you will be blessed with the compassion and sense of justice that will enable you to use your platform and capital to help others. Remember, we can only do so much for ourselves. Real happiness comes from serving others.

Well done Kim! Your kids are lucky to have you as their mom
OH. MY. GOD. This was so freaking sweet. I feel like Kim herself was surpised by how genuinely nice Mr. Forbes was. And the really original and special gifts he gave her, I felt like she didn't even know what to say... I loved this.
This interview made me cry with pride ❤️. Awesome & touching gifts -wonderful business woman who was treated with the respect she deserves. Loved it! ❤️
The interviewer is adorable!! ^.^ The little reactions and actions to sway the audience and his excitement and genuine interest in what Kim say is really sweet. Kim, girl, regardless, your the boss and i love you, do your thing, wish you great success!!

Ana Morello 😂 He’s Steve Forbes, publishing executive, presidential candidate in 1996, editor in chief of Forbes Magazine, worth 430 million.
She should do more interviews, social media posts take away personality so you never get to see their person. I feel like many of us are so over the social media fake posts and actually ok with showing our flaws. She understands that as well.
I'm not a Kardashian fan, but anyone who's been alive for the last decade has to know that Kim & her family are powerhouse businesspeople. What irks me is that KUWTK rarely shows that. The business stuff is 'behind the scenes', pushed aside for drama & feelings & dynamics & relationships. I would LOVE KUWTK if it focussed more on how powerful these women are in the business world, how hard they work, the days they don't feel like doing promo but do it anyway, etc. To have their own show & such success, these women have to be very savvy & hardworking, but then the irony is that the show sidelines those qualities to focus on relationships & drama. The Kardashian women are being undersold by their own tv show.

It's because their show is a part of American TV. The American version of any reality tv show will focus more on the drama than the actual meaningful stuff. Check out the English show "The Face" on KZread and you will see how much more meaningful and less drama focused than it is compared to America's Top Model. Even talent shows can be used as great examples. The producers in the US really love drama lol, but so does the majority of their audiences.
Loved every bit of this interview. Kim is a very smart and underestimated business woman. I'm extremely happy with where her career has come. She as a person has come such a long way.
I love how much appreciation she has for where her family is from and the fact that he managed to get her such personal gifts!
Kim is real and down to earth!

Kim is an amazing business woman. So powerful. I love how she uses the “disappointments” of life to go to new levels in life and business.
Best interview of Kim I’ve ever seen, she’s a truly intuitive hard working business woman who deserves all the success she gets. Beautiful thoughtful gifts by Forbes too. Very impressed by the whole Interview.

What a lovely man, really enjoyed the demeanor of the interviewer,!
I initially shrugged her off as just another celebrity, but after watching this video, I came to respect her so much. I can't really call myself a fan at this point but I would love to learn a lot from her.
Definitely enjoyed this interview. I do have a greater appreciation for Kim and her mom.
OMG THIS MAN IS MR. FORBES! like wow
Deeply enjoyed this video! I really enjoy hearing Kim Kardashian West talk about her brand i dream working with her one day.

Aw I love this man... he's so generous and nice.
- I worked hard and still do - I figured it out along the way, I still do - and indirectly - My family and I won't give away any information on the blueprint of our fortune! Straight up. That's what she said and kept EVERYTHING ON THE SURFACE. Honestly, all I heard was 'figure it out.' There wasn't a shared smart formula or blueprint for her success that leaves one compelled. She was definitely mindful on how she answers the questions.
Great interview!!

He is a great interviewer. He feels like a friend
I love love love the interviewer! His smile at the end! And he did a great and interesting interview.
Im not a fan of the kardashian empire the enigma but kim is so bright and likeable
Love the story she told about the boy and how he lead her grandparents to freedom. Love how she is proud of who she is and where she comes from, wish she would have started her early career with this image/look and interviews.
Even getting interviewed by Forbes, people will still say this woman does nothing and is famous for nothing.

@@fezilenkabinde9087 Starring in reality shows and starting business ventures are things that people do everyday. The so called entertainment industry is filled with people who do those things. So why is it when it comes to Kim and her family, none of that matters? It's like you're basically saying she's nothing, but you're doing it in a comment on a video of her being recognized by Forbes. You see how that doesn't make sense.
The gifts presented to Kim by the gentlemen were so thoughtful. I am in complete awe. A great interview.

She is remarkable. I wish people would watch the full interview and understand her better. Really interesting interview and respectful interviewer.
Aww, he's a sweetheart. America's grandpa.
Honestly she just grew up rich and growing up next to successful people who actually studied and learned a craft is what helped her be where she is... she certainly gave a push and never let it die down... plus she’s pretty. I wish more ppl could be given the opportunity to shine but now it seems like everything is about this woman and her family
What a lovely interview!
