Kim Kardashian, widely known as a reality TV star, fashion icon, and successful entrepreneur, recently added a humorous new title to her list: “the cringiest mom on the planet.” This playful confession came during her MasterClass, where she opened up about the challenges of keeping up with the latest trends — especially those introduced by her four children with ex-husband Kanye West.
Kim Kardashian’s Cringe-Worthy Mom Moments
At 45, Kim shared that her kids constantly tease her for being out of touch with the newest slang and trends. When asked about a recent trend her children introduced, she laughed it off, saying she wouldn’t reveal it because by the time the MasterClass aired, that trend would be over — leaving her even more “cringy.”
“I said one phrase a couple of weeks ago,” Kim explained, “and they haven’t let me live it down since. So, I’m not even going to try to say anything else.”
Despite this, her children — North (12), Saint (9), Chicago (7), and Psalm (6) — are a daily source of inspiration, influencing both her personal life and her thriving business ventures.
Learning From Her Kids: The Carpool Playlist
Kim revealed that she drives her kids to school every day, during which they control the radio and playlists. This has introduced her to new music and trends she wouldn’t have discovered otherwise.
“They control the radio and playlists when we’re driving,” she said. “So, I get to hear music I’ve never heard before. I hear what’s trending and what they’re talking about. I’d say those carpool rides are pure gold.”
Inside Kim Kardashian’s MasterClass: The “Ten Kimmandments”
Kim’s MasterClass, titled “The New Rules of Business: The Ten Kimmandments with Kim Kardashian,” launched on December 4th and showcases the guiding principles she follows to build her billion-dollar empire.
Some of her key “Kimmandments” include:
- Define yourself before others do: Establish your brand’s core values, visuals, and voice to stand out in the market.
- Turn failure into strategy: Use setbacks and customer feedback as opportunities to improve and innovate.
- Know your worth. Then add tax: Have a strong sense of self-value before launching a brand, so you maintain control over your business decisions.
By applying these principles, Kim has been able to create products that often sell out immediately after being shared on her social media platforms.
Kris Jenner’s Influence on Kim’s Entrepreneurial Spirit
During the MasterClass, Kim credited her mother, Kris Jenner, for instilling a strong business mindset from a young age. Watching Kris earn her agent and manager licenses showed Kim that women can be powerful breadwinners, shaping her approach to entrepreneurship.
Interestingly, Kris Jenner herself launched a MasterClass back in July 2022, titled “Building a Business, Family, and Brand,” emphasizing the family’s dedication to business education.

While Kim officially closed her beauty line Skkn in September, rumors suggest a possible Skims Beauty launch in 2026, potentially combining fashion and makeup into one powerhouse brand under her leadership.
