The Kris Jenner we know today basically runs the world. From being at the helm of Jenner Communications to raising six uber successful children, the world’s most famous momager possesses a spark and determination that very few have. The San Diego-born talent manager and businesswoman has gone on to show the world just how you run a family business with flawless precision. After high school, it was reported that Kris also had her sights on becoming a mother rather than going to college, so the brilliant businesswoman went on to pursue other opportunities until she married Robert Kardashian in 1978.
