Kim Kardashian is pushing back against the idea that she is chasing Lewis Hamilton’s fortune as talk around the rumored pair keeps heating up.
The reality star and Skims founder has been linked to the Formula 1 icon since February, when the two were reportedly seen at the same Paris hotel. Since then, the chatter has only grown louder. Hamilton is one of the richest names in motorsport, with a reported fortune of about $450 million. Kardashian, of course, is hardly short on cash herself.
Sources close to the situation say the money talk misses the bigger point. Kardashian is said to be more interested in building something with Hamilton than taking anything from him.
Kim Kardashian Reportedly Wants A ‘Mega Brand’ With Lewis Hamilton
People close to Kardashian are pushing back against the claim that she is drawn to Hamilton for financial reasons.
One source insisted Kardashian has “plenty of money of her own” and said it is unfair to paint her as someone looking to benefit from Hamilton or anyone else.
The insider claimed Kardashian is more excited by the idea of a joint business move. She reportedly wants the pair to create a “mega brand,” and plans are said to be already taking shape. Hamilton is reportedly supportive.
That part is easy to understand. Hamilton’s Formula 1 career has brought him global reach and major deals with brands including Ferrari, Tommy Hilfiger, and Monster Energy. Kardashian has turned Skims into a billion-dollar fashion empire and built a business machine around beauty, lifestyle, and celebrity culture. Together, they would bring sports, fashion, and luxury audiences into one very expensive room.
Their paths also did not cross out of nowhere. Kardashian and Hamilton were pictured together at the GQ Men of the Year awards in 2014, years before the latest romance talk began.
Bar Exam Plans Reportedly Take A Back Seat
The business chatter comes as Kardashian has reportedly slowed down her legal ambitions.
After passing California’s difficult “baby bar” exam on her fourth attempt in December 2021, Kardashian later failed her first try at the full state bar. She reportedly has no fixed plan to retake the exam this year.
One insider described the decision as practical. “Her own businesses, particularly her fashion brand Skims, are thriving,” the source said. “There simply aren’t enough hours in the day for her to be sweating about bar exams when she’s got a billion-dollar brand to run.”
So, what does that mean for Hamilton? According to the source, Kardashian may be putting more energy into love and business than legal studies for now. A joint venture with Hamilton would keep her in familiar territory: branding, products, fashion, and global attention.
Kim Is Reportedly ‘Falling Hard’
The relationship itself is also being described as serious behind the scenes.
One insider claimed things between Kardashian and Hamilton are already “hot and heavy.” Hamilton, who has long had a reputation as a ladies’ man, is reportedly telling friends and Kardashian that he is ready to move differently now that he is in his 40s.
“Lewis is saying all the right things and Kim’s falling hard,” the insider said. “He has a reputation as a real ladies’ man but, according to Kim, he’s told her that he’s ready to leave that behind now that he’s in his 40s.” The source added that Kardashian is “taking Lewis at his word even though a ton of women have warned her not to let herself get sucked in by him.”
Neither Kardashian nor Hamilton has publicly confirmed the relationship or any business plan. Until they do, the “mega brand” talk remains reported insider chatter. Still, the message from Kardashian’s side is clear: she has her own money, and she is not playing passenger.
