Experts have now shared figures with the Mirror, and it looks like North’s set to make an absolute killing from her side-splitting social media clips. If she stuck to posting on TikTok, analysis from Viralyft.com reveals she could earn up to £23,787.90 per video.

Research conducted by social media marketing experts used Social Blade and a TikTok influencer calculator to analyse her recent follower increase and potential earnings. The study also found that North’s @kimandnorth follower count has increased by 29 per cent since March 2023, from 14.7 million to 18.9 million.

The data showed that North’s cousin, 11-year-old Penelope Disick, is earning less on her TikTok account, with the potential earning of up to $6,886.49 per TikTok video. A spokesperson for Viralyft.com said: “North West shows a passion for music and creativity, which is inspired by her dad Kanye West’s musical legacy.

“It’s fascinating to see how much more influential and earning potential North can achieve. With the guidance of mum and mega-influencer Kim Kardashian, who manages her TikTok account, she’s already gained a massive platform and income stream at ten years old. It’ll be interesting to see if her followers dramatically increase and what her future earning potential is when her debut album releases.”

Northy revealed her album plans to the world during one of her dad’s Vultures 2 listening parities on March 10 earlier this month. She hasn’t said a lot about the new release in the public, apart from telling Jazzy’s World TV that “it’s going to be great”.

She has however already released the title of her upcoming project, “I’ve been working on an album,” she revealed at Kanye’s event. She told attendees that that title of her new album was “Elementary School Dropout”, a clear nod to her father’s success.

Ye’s debut album, The College Dropout, was released in February 2004. Becoming a huge hit, the LP peaked at number one in Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, it also won Kanye the Best Rap Album prize and another gong at the Grammy Awards.

North has always been into music, telling I-D last October: “I like singing. Performing is my favourite.” When asked where her interest comes from she said, “mostly from me. And then a little bit of my dad. Well, when I was 7, I wanted to be a boxer. But now I don’t want to be a boxer. I’m going to do art on the side.”

“When I’m, like, 13, I want to walk dogs, to make money to buy art supplies, because everything around here is so expensive,” she continued of her plans. “So a rapper, a basketball player and I’m going to make artwork that I sell.”

Kendall Jenner stuns in boob-baring minidress

The US supermodel has showed off her boob-baring minidress on Instagram, which left very little to the imagination.

That’s one way to (barely) cover up.

Kendall Jenner was spotted enjoying a European vacation — and flirting with freeing the nipple in the process.

The US model, 27, posed for a 𝑠e𝑥y video and photo shoot on the deck of a yacht while in France wearing a tiny black David Koma minidress featuring a sheer mesh top with just two red floral appliques to cover her modesty.

Kendall Jenner has taken to Instagram to show off her racy outfit.Jenner’s dress featured a sheer neckline with red embellishments. 

She finished the 𝑠e𝑥y look with a red scarf and Bottega Veneta slingback heels.

Jenner is the world’s highest paid supermodel.

Jenner hasn’t been afraid to push boundaries with her outfits lately, having worn totally sheer tops on multiple occasions, including dates with new flame Bad Bunny.

The new couple stepped out last month for two back-to-back date nights in matching outfits, including co-ordinating snakeskin boots while courtside for the Lakers game and all-black leather looks for dinner at celeb hotspot Giorgio Baldi.

The Kardashians star also hasn’t been shy about showing off her bikini body, baring her bum in thong bikinis and frolicking in the sand.

At the 2023 Met Gala, she graced the Karl Lagerfeld-themed event with a cheeky sequin bodysuit — and changed into an even more scandalous look for the afterparty that featured a thong layered on top of another sequin one-piece.

The supermodel has been stripping down of late.

Most recently, the reality star made a splash when she touched down in Antibes, France earlier this week, stepping out in a sheer Ami Paris dress over a tiny thong bikini.

Jenner accessorised the look with a Bottega Veneta bag, The Row flip-flops and Gentle Monster shades, posing with friends Simi and Haze Khadra in an Instagram post.

We’ll see if Bad Bunny approves of Jenner’s latest sizzling look.

Bianca Censori wears silver skintight jumpsuit for Easter Sunday with husband Kanye West and all four of his children

Bianca Censori enjoyed Easter Sunday with her husband Kanye West and his four children he shares with his ex Kim Kardashian.

The brunette beauty, 29, and the rapper, 46, treated North, 10, Saint, eight, Chicago, five and Psalm, four, to a fun-filled night out at the movies after they dined at celeb hotspot Nobu in Malibu.

The model — who was pictured with Kim for the first time at Kanye’s album party — slipped her famous figure into a silver catsuit as she strutted ahead of the family towards the theater.

In a bid to keep a low profile, Kanye donned a dark jacket, matching pants and sunglasses as he held the hand of his adorable son, Saint, with the other three kids following closely behind.

The outing comes just hours after Kim, 43, accompanied the four children to her mom Kris Jenner’s holiday shindig, where they reunited with the rest of the Kardashian/Jenner clan.

The brunette beauty, 29, and the rapper, 46, treated North , 10, Saint, eight, Chicago , five and Psalm, four, to a fun-filled night out at the movies after they enjoyed a dinner date

Details of the festivities were detailed by Kim on her social media account, as she gave a peek at Kris’ decorations including the tablescape, which had egg plates and napkins as well as a pastel, floral tablecloth.

The makeup mogul, was married to Kanye from from 2014 to 2022, also shared a picture of an Easter egg that was decorated from her son Saint that had ‘Mom’ written in pink marker.

And on their joint TikTok caption, Kim and North shared snaps from the party and wrote: ‘Happy Easter Jesus loves you.’

The holiday festivities come after Bianca and Kim shocked fans by being spotted together for the first time at Kanye’s Vultures Listening Party just two weeks ago.

In a clip from the event, Bianca can be seen in a pink top as she films the performance on her phone with Kim stood next to her.

Also in attendance were Chicago and Psalm.

Kim is said to have an amicable relationship with Bianca – but is reportedly not a fan of her parading her risqué fashion in front of her children.

‘Kim instructed Kanye to never let Bianca dress like that around their kids,’ a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘She is truly surprised that Kanye would let his wife leave the house like that.’

Australian-born Bianca has been pictured in a slew of headline-grabbing outfits since she married Kanye in December 2022 – less than one month after his divorce from Kim was finalized.

Insiders have told Daily Mail that Censori wants to step away from the spotlight, saying, ‘She needs a break and needs to step back.’

‘She feels like he is using her as a free marketing tool – as does everyone else,’ the source alleged.

‘These past couple of months have been an experience, but she really wants to focus on having children after the album drops. She knows she is overexposed.’

Kanye recently appeared to defend his wife’s bizarre, and at times obscene outfit choices, as well as his decision to post half naked photos of her on his Instagram.

‘Ima post my wife as much as I want bro,’ he told his 19.5 million followers on Tuesday. ‘It makes me happy. Some people don’t want you to be happy. They want you to make them happy. I decided to make myself happy and I’m happy with that [sic].’

Unlike Bianca’s raunchy wardrobe, Kim was asked to change her outfits if Kanye felt she was showing too much skin, with the artist heavily influencing her fashion choices during their seven-year marriage.

‘Kanye did the same thing he is doing with Bianca to Kim throughout their marriage,’ the source continued. ‘The difference is that when Kanye dressed Kim, he was respected as a person – as an artist.

Insiders have told Daily Mail that Censori wants to step away from the spotlight, saying, ‘She needs a break and needs to step back’

‘Unfortunately, Kim knows what Bianca is going through – but she feels Bianca should have known what she was getting into.’

The billionaire SKIMS founder talked openly about Kanye’s influence over her fashion choices throughout their relationship.

In a 2018 interview with W Magazine, she said: ‘I always thought I had really good style – until I met my husband, and he told me that I had the worst style.’

And in an episode of Keeping Up with The Kardashians, she said: ‘Kanye has always dressed me. In the early 2000s, he would literally just send me random emails with all these looks and what my style should be.’

When Kim disagreed with her husband’s advice, he told her: ‘You are my wife, and it affects me when pictures are too 𝑠e𝑥y.’

Kanye previously criticized Kim’s SKIMS brand for being ‘overly 𝑠e𝑥ualised.’

She also revealed that he disapproved of her 2019 Thierry Mugler Met Gala dress, branding her corset a ‘form of underwear’ the night before the event.

It wasn’t only Kim’s clothes that Kanye took issue with, but her appearance as well.

The outing comes just hours after Kim, 43, accompanied the four children to her mom Kris Jenner’s holiday shindig , where they reunited with the rest of the Kardashian/Jenner clan.

The 43-year-old mogul — whose mom Kris Jenner, 68, hosted a bash — modeled a 𝑠e𝑥y white dress with a low-cut, studded neckline in a brief TikTok video

At the Vogue 100 Festival in 2016, the brunette beauty said: ‘My husband loves me without make-up. I would wear make-up 24/7 if I could, but he likes me without it.’

But his apparent hold over Bianca’s style has raised concerns for her friends who fear she has not only changed since meeting him, but is being ‘used’ to promote his new album, Vultures.

Her parents are also said to be ‘mortified’ at seeing their daughter in such strange ensembles – in particular the clear raincoat she wore recently with nothing but a pair of black boots.

‘Her family and friends are mortified because it just keeps getting worse and worse,’ an insider previously told DailyMail.com exclusively.

‘Bianca clearly doesn’t realize that what she wore isn’t only disgusting and setting a bad example, but she is also potentially breaking the law.

‘Meanwhile, Kanye is covered up with five layers of clothes and when his wife looked chilly while naked and wrapped in plastic he didn’t so much as offer her one of his capes.’

Kim Kardashian never hesitates to show off her curves.

The reality star, 43, took to her joint TikTok account she shares with her oldest daughter, North West, 10, on Sunday to wish followers a happy Easter.

“Happy Easter Jesus loves you ,” she captioned the video with West and mom Kris Jenner, showing off their holiday outfits.

The Skims founder showed off her fit figure in a white mermaid lace-up dress by Ludovic de Saint Sernin ($1,601) for the family gathering, which she paired with a layered Chrome Hearts cross necklace.

The gown features lace-up elements along the bust and back of the dress and is made from a slightly sheer linen fabric.

Kim wore her dark hair slicked back into a bun, all the better to show off her piles of diamond-encrusted crosses. The necklace appears to be the same one that the mom of four previously wore to rumored boyfriend Odell Beckham Jr.’s birthday bash in November 2023.

She kept the rest of her accessories minimal as well.

Early NBA free agency rankings: LeBron James leads list of top 30 players who could potentially hit market

NBA free agency is three months away, and plenty of stars have decisions to make

 

Getty Images

There are less than two weeks left in the 2023-24 regular season, so that means we’re inching ever closer to every NBA fan’s favorite time of year. No, not the playoffs. Free agency. The fan-favorite period is almost exactly three months away, and it’s never too early to think about the bonanza beginning.

This year’s free-agent crop is shrouded in question marks, but as it stands right now we could have an absolute whopper of a class, led by one of the most popular names in American sports history. That’s right, LeBron James has gone out of his way to remain ambiguous regarding his future with the Los Angeles Lakers. He’s the proud owner of a crisp $51 million player option this summer. All indications are that James wants to finish out his career as a Laker, but crazier things have happened.

There are several other players who could technically be available this summer who are likely to stay put — Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, Pascal Siakam, Jrue Holiday — but if any number of them decides to test the waters, we could have an extremely exciting free-agency period. Even if their names are all off the board, there are unrestricted free agents like James Harden, Klay Thompson and DeMar DeRozan who will be the subject of much intrigue.

While things will undoubtedly change over the next couple of months, here are the top 30 NBA players who could be available in the 2024 offseason.

Lakers’ LeBron James: Not Sure When I’ll Retire But ‘I Don’t Have Much Time Left’

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James, who recorded a career-high-tying nine three-pointers during Sunday’s win Brooklyn Nets, says the time he has left in the NBA is “not very long.”

“I’m not gonna play another 21 years, that’s for damn sure,” James said after Sunday’s win, per The Athletic’s Jovan Buha. “But, not very long. I don’t know when that door will close as far when I’ll retire, but I don’t have much time left.”

LeBron James on how long he expects to continue playing in the NBA: “Not very long. … I’m not gonna play another 21 years, that’s for damn sure. But not very long. I don’t know when that door will close as far as when I’ll retire. But I don’t have much time left.” <a href=”https://t.co/OtJzM6cheI”>pic.twitter.com/OtJzM6cheI</a>

James racked up 40 points while adding seven rebounds and five assists in the Lakers’ 116-104 victory over the Brooklyn Nets.

The Lakers star, who turned 39 in December, has a $54.1 million player option on his contract for the 2024-25 season.

After the option, James is currently set to become an unrestricted free agent following the end of the 2024-25 season.

James is averaging over 25 points per game for the 20th straight season during a campaign that led him to become the first player in NBA history to score 40,000 points.

Because he’s been in the league since age 18, James has been an NBA player for longer than he hasn’t been an NBA player, as noted by USA Today‘s Jim Sergent and Ramon Padilla.

James told ESPN’s Dave McMenamin in January 2023 that he wanted to wait to retire until he was able to play with his son, Bronny, who recently finished his freshman season at USC.

That was before Bronny suffered cardiac arrest during a summer workout, leading to emergency surgery and a delay to his USC debut. He finished the season having averaged 4.8 points and 2.1 assists in 19.3 minutes through 25 games, mostly off the bench.

James’ son has not yet decided whether he will be entering the 2024 draft, with his agent Rich Paul saying it depends on which teams are interested in drafting him, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Given the uncertainty surrounding Bronny’s future in the NBA, it remains to be seen if his draft year will influence James’ decision to sign a new contract.

For now, the Lakers will hope James chooses to keep playing in Los Angeles next season. The option decision deadline is June 29, according to Spotrac.

Rui Hachimura, Rising Lakers Star, Reveals Unique Water Exercises to Enhance Fitness and Performance

Rui Hachimura, the promising young talent of the Los Angeles Lakers, recently unveiled a set of special water exercises aimed at improving his fitness and enhancing his performance in the future. Recognizing the benefits of aquatic workouts, Hachimura demonstrated a series of innovative exercises specifically designed to maximize strength, endurance, and overall conditioning.

These water-based routines offer a low-impact yet challenging alternative to traditional training methods, allowing Hachimura to push his physical limits while minimizing the risk of injury. By sharing these exercises, Hachimura not only showcases his commitment to continuous improvement but also inspires other athletes to explore the vast potential of water-based fitness routines.

The other side of the hill’ – LeBron James sends ‘Strong’ message on retirement following 40-Point game

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has shown few signs of slowing down, even in his 21st NBA season, but he can feel the end drawing near.

James spoke about his looming retirement following a 40-point performance against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, March 21.

“Not very long. Not very long,” James said about how much longer he will play, per ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.

“I’m on the other side obviously of the hill, so, I’m not gonna play another 21 years, that’s for damn sure. But not very long. I don’t know when that door will close as far as … when I’ll retire, but I don’t have much time left.”

For a player without “much time left,” as James described himself, the game he put together against the Nets was both historical and astonishing.

James, along with Michael Jordan, were the only players to score forty points or more on several occasions after turning forty-nine. James has now completed the feat twice, compared to Jordan’s three times.

While James will turn 40 in December during what will be his 22nd NBA season in the 2024–25 season, providing he doesn’t retire before then, Jordan played his final season at the age of 40.

James not only scored 40 points at the age of 39, but he also made nine of his ten 3-point attempts. After the game, he discussed that performance with McMenamin and other media.

I don’t ever have to lean on [3-pointers] because I can do so much — I can score on any level on the floor basically once I cross half court. But being able to have a growth mindset and be able to work on things that the league is changing to, the league is a heavy 3-point shooting league.

I’m not one of those guys that wants to go out there and shoot 12, 14 or 15 3s per game. But I want to be respected, and teams have to play me from the outside. That’s still kind of one thing teams [think] … “If we have to give up something, we’d much rather him shoot the ball from the outside.”
