NEW YORK, Oct 8, (Agencies): Kim Kardashian graced the cover of Fortune's October/November issue, an acknowledgment of her inclusion among the magazine's list of 100 Most Powerful Women. In the photo shoot, the 42-year-old reality TV icon exuded a strong, business-oriented demeanor, dressed in an oversized black blazer and matching trousers. Leaning confidently against a chair, she tilted her head upward, showcasing both her power and beauty.

Kim Kardashian, known for her recent sizzling SKIMS promotion featuring a midriff-baring look, elevated her signature raven-black hair with long extensions styled in soft waves. Her entrepreneurial prowess shines as her shapewear brand, SKIMS, has burgeoned into a remarkable $4 billion company.

On the cover, Kim Kardashian radiates glamour with a monochromatic brown makeup look that accentuates her striking features. Her eyes boast a cut-crease eyeshadow style complemented by lush, fluttering eyelashes, creating a sultry gaze. A generous application of bronzer gives her a sun-kissed glow, combined with brown lip liner and nude lipstick enhancing her full lips.

In her interview with Fortune, Kardashian discussed her upcoming venture into venture capital and the launch of her private equity firm, SKKY Partners. Unlike some celebrities who dabble in venture capital, Kardashian intends to be deeply involved in the entire process, emphasizing a hands-on approach.

Kardashian explained, "I wouldn't be involved in anything if it wasn't fully hands-on. There's no other way." Scott Budnick, a producer who collaborated with Kardashian on her prison reform initiative, confirmed her unwavering dedication to her work, stating, "When she sees something she really believes in, she sinks her teeth in and goes all in."

Kardashian's ability to manage her time effectively is attributed to her patient mindset and long-term planning approach. She revealed, "I'm an eight-to-10-year-out-plan kind of person," emphasizing the importance of having a patient perspective.

Those who work closely with Kardashian describe her as more professional and laid-back in person compared to her onscreen persona. She is known for her soft-spoken and deliberate communication style, characterized by active listening, a quality she adopted after years of feeling unheard in power dynamics.

Kim Kardashian's latest venture involves partnering with former Burberry CEO and Apple SVP Angela Ahrendts as the senior operating advisor of SKKY Partners. In her vision for an ideal portfolio company, she seeks founders deeply committed to their ventures, sharing their dreams and authentic vision.

She emphasizes that the "magic sauce" of authenticity is crucial and dispels the notion that her fund would homogenize companies into a Kim-branded style. Despite facing skepticism throughout her career, Kardashian is driven by the desire to solidify her legacy. She stated, "Maybe that's part of my drive, always feeling like people have underestimated me. Maybe that's what keeps me going."
