The American SetA New Biography Says Kim Kardashian's Drive Runs in Her Bloodline
A newly excerpted biography by Jonathan Van Meter argues that Kim Kardashian's ambition did not start with reality television — it started generations earlier, in Armenia. The book frames her rise as a blend of old-world folklore and American hustle, suggesting her drive was inherited long before it was earned. Vanity Fair, which published the excerpt, calls it equal parts curse and destiny — a lineage that made success feel less like a choice than an inevitability.
