How much money does Kim Kardashian West make? The world may never know. But we know one thing: she's making a tremendous amount of money from her mobile game, "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood." How do we know?
Well...this:

According to Mrs. West herself, the app made some $80 million thus far. It stands to reason that it's made far more than this, as it sounds like this is the payout that Kim received (not the overall earnings).
Which, ya know, whoa. Like, super whoa.
Supermodel and TV host Chrissy Teigen had a hilarious response, as she tends to:

It's not clear if that amount only pertains to the last year or what. The game first launched in June 2014 — it's available on iPhone, Android, and computers of all types. Though the game is free to download and play, there are plenty of ways to spend money within its confines.
Users can buy in-game cash using real world money, which enables them to buy in-game items, clothing, and more. It's essentially a game about becoming a successful Hollywood type, told through a kid-friendly lens.
Hilariously, and presumably intentionally, the $53 million that Kim says she transferred to her joint account with husband Kanye West is exactly the amount of "personal debt" that Kanye claimed to be struggling with back in February. So, uh, solved! Hooray!
