Khloe Kardashian's Full Biography

Born on June 27, 1984, Khloe Kardashian is a reality star, business owner, and briefly, a talk show host. She was born into a socialite family, to Kris (nee Houghton) and Robert Kardashian. She’s the couple’s youngest child, following sisters Kourtney and Kim, and brother Rob, but also has younger siblings from her parents’ subsequent relationships.

Khloe and her family debuted their reality tv show, ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’, in 2007, after the leak of her older sister Kim’s sex tape from a few years earlier grabbed public interest. As the show skyrocketed in popularity, she also starred in some of the spinoffs, including Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, and Khloe and Lamar, featuring Kardashian and her then-husband, basketball star Lamar Odom.

Like her sisters, Khloe has spun her reality fame into other successes as well, including clothing lines and beauty products, and brand sponsorships, and authored two books with Kim and Courtney, and one on her own. She’s also a successful social media influencer, who used her star power to promote charities she supports, including an appearance in PETA’s “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign.

Khloe Kardashian's Early Life And Education

The effect of being the youngest sister can be seen in Khloe’s childhood. She attended the prestigious Marymount High School like her sisters, but left after Kourtney and Kim graduated, expressing that she didn’t want to stay without her sisters. Instead, she moved on to individual education courses, and graduated a year early with honors, at age 17.

Khloe was always absorbed in fashion, like her sisters. (Their mother, Kris, had previously worked in a children’s clothing store her own mother ran, so the background was set.) Before the family’s reality stardom took off, she worked as an assistant to fellow socialite Nicole Ritchie.
