Number 30 - Kim Kardashian

You can’t call yourself a true socialite until you’ve made and 'accidentally' released a sex tape on the internet. Please step forward model and actress, Kim Kardashian, who did just that.
 
But Kim got the last laugh, winning a $5 million settlement to gain ownership of this sex tape.

Aside from that, Miss Kardashian’s a very well connected lady. She counts Paris Hilton as her ex-best friend, OJ Simpson as her godfather (yes, the OJ Simpson) and her 14th birthday party was held at Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch (yes, the Michael Jackson).
 
Wow – with friends like that, who needs a reality show to make you famous eh?! Well, apparently Kim still does. Catch the third series of Keeping up with the Kardashians on E! now.
