- Kardashian-Jenner clan matriarch and "momager" Kris Jenner, 68, says she won't retire.
- Working gives her "all sorts of different qualities" in life, Jenner said on "This Life of Mine with James Corden."
- But there's no denying the money's good: Jenner has an estimated net worth of $230 million, per Forbes.
There's a saying on the internet that goes "The devil works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder." And true enough, Jenner, 68, has no plans to retire.
In an interview with James Corden on SiriusXM's "This Life of Mine with James Corden," the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner clan says she has no desire to stop working anytime soon.
"Because my mom retired when she was 82 and she talks about her job every single day when we're together, and she will say to me, 'Oh, my job kept me young, and with purpose, and with joy,'" Jenner told Corden.
Jenner is responsible for catapulting her family into superstardom in 2007, having spearheaded the launch of her family's reality series, "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."
Known as her family's "momager," Jenner also manages the careers of her famous daughters — Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner.
Jenner says she plans to continue working because it gives her "all sorts of different qualities" in her life.
"It's finding solutions for things. It's your organizational skills. It's your people skills. It's the love of life," Jenner said. "It's, you know, having somewhere to go, getting up, getting dressed, presenting yourself to the world a certain way, and interacting with the people that you love."
Soft skills aside, there's no denying that the money she makes is pretty good.
Jenner has an estimated net worth of $230 million. In 2022, she told Forbes that she takes a 10% cut from everything that her children earn, be it through television or other business ventures.
However, it's not always easy for Jenner to juggle her duties as a mom and a manager.
In November 2023, Kendall told Forbes that the line between her mother's roles is sometimes blurred.
"My mom is my mom, but she's also my manager," Kendall said. "We have moments when we're talking on the phone, and we're talking about business, maybe having a heated conversation about something, and then all of a sudden, she's like, 'OK I love you. How are you feeling today?' and I'm like, 'Oh my god, yeah, you're my mom, too!'"
Jenner's comments about working come right after she revealed in "The Kardashians" season five trailer that she has a tumor. The trailer, which was released on May 8, did not reveal any other information about the tumor.
A representative for Jenner did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent outside regular business hours.
