West — the first of eight honorees to be revealed — admits that part of her success is the result of her workaholic tendencies, acquiescing toWSJ. Magazine, “I know, I know, I am.” She explains, “I get a lot of my work ethic from my dad [late attorney Robert Kardashian Sr.].”

“My days are completely micromanaged to the minute,” Kardashian West tells the outlet of managing SKIMs, her beauty lines, filming her family’s new Hulu reality series, studying for the Bar Exam and many other ventures. “In order to get away from the kids, I will go into my office at my house and study. And then working on beauty and rebranding and SKIMs, constantly, I’m always in fittings and fabric meetings. My days are pretty full. … And that’s. I love to be home; I love my weekends at home.”
Still, the mom of four doesn’t envision herself ever slowing down. “I don’t see me floating on a yacht,” she says in the interview. “I think I’ll always feel good when I’m working.”
In fact, she acknowledges that some people expect her to take over when momagerKris Jennerfinally retires from helming the family’s business deals. Kardashian West says she’s already involved in most negotiations.

“We’ve talked about it. I would assemble a team of people to take over,” Kardashian West says. “I hope it doesn’t happen for a really long time, because I’m really busy.”
“This year’s lineup of Innovators are a reminder that some of the most powerful voices are ones that refuse to accept the status quo,” says O’Neill. “Kim KardashianWest represents a more inclusive approach to fashion that women everywhere have been longing for — and she’s just one of eight extraordinary honorees we can’t wait to celebrate on November 1st.”
