Karen Houghton

Do fame and money cause animosity between two siblings? That is exactly the case between Karen Houghton and her millionaire sister, Kris Jenner, who are estranged.

Karen Houghton is Kris Jenner’s younger sister from Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The siblings’ relationship has soured in recent years as a result of Karen’s controversial affairs.

What Is Karen Houghton’s Net Worth?

The 59-year-old derives a significant portion of her net worth from her part-time job as a nurse.

Her sister, Kris’s, on the other hand, is worth watching for her extravagant spending sprees and party-loving lifestyle. Krish has amassed a $90 million net worth as a reality star and entertainment manager since 2007. She capitalizes on a significant portion of her fame and fortune from her 2007 E! Cable Network reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Kris Jenner, her sister, is also enticed by a lucrative contract as the manager of her famous daughter, Kim Kardashian. Kris was a lady with a big heart when she surprised Karen with a brand new Mercedes on Valentine’s Day. In 2009, she even furnished Karen’s entire home interior, which cost $50,000.

Sisters of Judgment Attend Kim Kardashian’s Baby Shower

Karen cut herself off from her sister, Kris, as well as her daughters, Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall, and Kylie. While the siblings still have a cold vibe between them, they both attended Kim’s baby shower in June 2013.

She previously refused to attend her niece Kim’s wedding to American rapper Kanye West. She was invited to the grand wedding in Paris, but she declined due to her concern about the California wildfires destroying her home. Karen told the Daily online magazine that she had already attended Kim’s previous two weddings and that France was not a new destination for her.

She had, however, previously attended Khloe’s wedding with her then-husband, Lamar Odom, in 2009.

The Nurse revealed some of the Kardashians’ darkest secrets in a 2013 interview with The Intouch Weekly magazine. In the same breath, she described her sister, Kris, as a “crazy and controlling” fame seeker.

During the same interview, she revealed that Kris and her husband of 22 years, Bruce Jenner, had split up and that Bruce had even sought legal counsel.

Karen slammed Kardashian haters, saying they were envious of Kardashian and that if it weren’t for the reality stars,, they’d be eating bonbons and sitting on our a***s. As a result, they must establish a life and a job.

Husband and Boyfriend Faced With Criminal Charges!

Karen and her ex-husband, Mark Zettel, divorced in 2002 after six years of marriage. According to Daily Mail reports from 2013, she was forced to file a protection order against her ex-husband in San Diego County Superior Court in early 2009. She also admitted that Mark’s volatile and aggressive behavior posed a danger to their daughter, Natalie Zettel.

Her ex-partner was involved in illegal drugs and was arrested 16 times, including for driving while intoxicated.

Furthermore, Karen’s second love innings with her then-boyfriend Steven Edward Thornton did not last. She had another order against Steven, two years after her former husband had requested protection. Steven also has a criminal history, having been arrested 12 times in California and Tennessee on charges of aggravated burglary and theft.

Kris reportedly drifted apart from Karen due to her choice of dating partner, as Kris was concerned about her family’s image in the world.

What Is She Up To Now?

Karen has preferred to stay out of the spotlight. Natalie, her 19-year-old aspiring model daughter, is currently finding success in the modeling world. Natalie has the perfect beauty and physical appearance for the Kardashians, but she has never appeared on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
