Socialite Kim Kardashian has emerged as the highest paid TV star of the year, earning $ 6 million.
The 30-year-old reality star topped the ranking by The Daily Beast, beating Lauren Conrad and Audrina Partridge, reported Variety online.
Kim, who wrapped up her fifth season of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' this year, made her cash by promoting brands from Skechers to Kotex and also shilling for a skincare line and Quick Trim with her sisters. She rakes in as much as $75,000 for an appearance.
Former 'The Hills' star Conrad came second with $ 5 million from her burgeoning fashion career and trilogy of young adult books. Her most recent one, 'Sugar and Spice', has sold more than 1 million copies in hardback.
Third was Bethenny Frankel, who rose to fame on 'The Real Housewives of New York' before getting her own 'Bravo' spin-off, earning $4 million last year. She made the most cash from her "skinny" series, which includes nutrition books and a margarita mix.
Partridge rounded off the top 5 alongwith Kate Gosselin, both earning USD 3.5 million each. The former's income stemmed majorly from a Carl's Jr endorsement, her deal with producer Mark Burnett and hosting a gig on internet network Yobi.tv.
Gosselin total income included $ 250,000 per episode of her TLC show, speaking and book deals and her 'Dancing With the Stars' fees.
