Kim Kardashian received a car for her 16th birthday, but at the age of 18, her parents cut her off from the family fortune, hoping to encourage a sense of financial independence and responsibility in the young lass. It is here that Kim's entrepreneurial spirit was born; within a few years, Kim had become a fashion designer, selling her wares on eBay and boasting a client list that included Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and other socialites with money to burn.

Kim Kardashian took her new-found passion a step further when she recruited her two sisters, Kourtney and Khloe, and the trio opened DASH, a clothing boutique in Calbasas, California. Who needs mom and dad's money, anyway?
