In the cover story, the American television personality opens up about how serious she is about her mobile game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood.

Kardashian says she’s part of every step of development, from handpicking the outfits of the characters to choosing their hairstyles.

“I would give [Glu Mobile] bikinis and be like, ‘Hurry up and mock up this bikini, because I’m going to wear it, and then you can have it live in the game!'” Kardashian told Forbes.

This Kardashian cover story reminds the world that she’s capitalized on her fame with the help of her 2014 app, which generated $71.8 million USD in 2015 and accounts for 40 per cent of the money Kardashian earned this year.
