People donated over $40,000 to the guy on Kickstarter making a potato salad, is there any mystery as to why Kim Kardashian is famous? People will give money to anything. Remember those pet rocks. In more Kim Kardashian isn’t as dumb as she looks news, Kim’s new app, Kim Kardashian Hollywood, is the new flappy birds, the new angry birds, the new candy crush—everyone is playing it and you probably are too. The goal of the game is to get famous by manipulating celebrity culture with suggestions like, “Dating famous people will get you more fans too,” which is genius. I am not surprised it’s going to rake in so much cash.
Analyst Doug Creutz predicts that with the way things are going the app will make $200 million by the end of the year. Saying, “There’s no such thing as bad publicity, right? Obviously, Kim Kardashian’s brand has driven people to download the game. But at this point, the game has taken on a life of its own.”
The Simpsons: Tapped Out took an entire year to make $100 million whereas Kim’s app will be making double that within 6 months of its release.
