Kim Kardashian 'made $5 million in five minutes with new fragrance launch'

Kim Kardashian reportedly made a massive $5 million (£3.8 million) in just five minutes when she released her new fragrance earlier this week.

On Tuesday, Kardashian dropped a new range of perfume with three different fragrances, Kimoji Cherry, Kimoji Peach and Kimoji Vibes.

And, according to TMZ, the reality star made around a million dollars a minute without spending anything at all on advertising.

Social media was the only platform used to spread the word about the new releases, which sell for $45 apiece.

The publication also reports that the amount of bottles available on launch day this time was increased because of the expected high demand.

Kardashian, 37, sent her nearest and dearest a complimentary fragrance to celebrate the release, with actress Drew Barrymore posting a ‘thank you’ on Instagram.

Posting a picture of her holding the peach bottle, she wrote: “@kimkardashian #cutefruit thank you for having me on your send to list! So fun!”

The newest perfumes had a somewhat toned down exterior, taking the shape of fruits or a speech bubble instead of Kardashian’s body.

Kardashian shocked the Internet earlier this year when she posted a series of naked snaps to her Instagram page, later revealing that the bottle for her then-upcoming perfume would be made from a cast of her curves.
