20 Celebrities Who Are Famous for Being Famous

Kim Kardashian West

She’s probably the most famous person in the world right now, and she’s famous for nothing in particular. She didn’t become famous for her role as a reality star. She didn’t become famous for being a designer. She didn’t become famous because she modeled for some major designers and did some major magazine shoots. And she certainly didn’t become famous for marrying Kanye West. She became famous because of an unfortunate tape that leaked that puts her in a compromising position, and the rest of her “career” came from that.
