Robert Kardashian Sr. was the son of Helen and Arthur Kardashian.

All four of his grandparents

were Armenians who emigrated from the Russian Empire to the United States in the early 1900s,
originating from the towns of Karakale and Erzurum in modern-day Turkey. The family left the
Russian Empire before the Armenian genocide began in 1915.[9]

Kardashians

Reception[edit]
The family and media give Kim the credit for helping them start their careers. The family has
been criticized as being famous for being famous.[7][10] In late May 2020, Forbes released an
investigation into Kylie's finances, alleging she had misrepresented her billionaire status. Writers
Chase Peterson-Withorn and Madeline Berg stated, "...white lies, omissions and outright
fabrications are to be expected from the family that perfected—then monetized—the concept of
'famous for being famous.'"[11] Critics of the family's mainstay show Keeping up with the
Kardashians have stated the family has "no real skills beyond 'being famous for being
famous.'"[12] Vogue stated the Kardashians have "...proved that although they were "famous for
being famous" in the 2000s, in the 2010s they became a cultural force to be reckoned
with."[7] They were given keys to Beverly Hills on September 2, 2010, which were intentionally
organized to match the area's zip code: 90210.[13]
