What do the Kardashian sisters have in common with Mia Farrow and Mariska Hargitay? They all went to Marymount High School, where students have to fulfill a requirement of 100 hours of community service before they can graduate. Years after Kim finished school, she reflected on her 1997 yearbook photo. "People say, 'She's had her lips and her nose done.' Look at this photo. Tiny nose, huge lips. My lips look bigger here than they do now," she said.

In an interview with People Magazine in 2009, Kim said she dated one of MJ's nephews in her teen years. One of the perks: celebrating her milestone at the singer's very own amusement park. "That was the most magical place on earth," she said. "When you drove up, there were baby elephants and chimpanzees in overalls, and there was all the rides. It was everything you can possibly imagine. The memories I have from that place will last for the rest of my life."

There was a time when she could only dream about attending the Met Gala. Years before she made big bucks with endorsement deals, Kim earned her income by revamping closets for Hollywood's elite. "My closet business came about when I was at my godparents' house, Sugar Ray Leonard and his wife, Bernadette," she said in an interview with Player magazine in 2006. "Bernadette's closet was massive and had so much stuff in it. I said to her, 'You really need to clean out your closet.' Well, we spent the whole night doing that." After word about her skills spread, Cindy Crawford, Serena Williams, Nicky Hilton, and Nicole Richie sought her organizing services, and Brandy and Lindsay Lohan counted on her as their personal stylist.

Remember The Simple Life? Long before E! gave the Kardashian crew their own reality show, Kim appeared on Paris and Nicole's program as Paris's closet helper. "I had to organize and color-coordinate it, and help her with my styling advice, what she needs to get rid of, what she needs to fill back in, you know, do personal shopping," Kim once explained in an interview. "With her, it was mostly getting rid of stuff because she's a compulsive shopper. Now, her garage is filled with clothes again. It's overwhelming.”

You might be used to spotting Kim on the red carpet or shopping in Paris, but as it turns out, the reality star prefers to be at home. "I'm kind of a homebody, so I've been staying in a lot lately," she told Us Weekly in a detailed interview about her daily routine. "There's nothing I love more than getting to stay home all day and not get ready for anything, which is about half the week." As for how she spends her time at home, Kim said she likes to "unwind by getting in bed and doing some work — I'll put on a robe and answer e-mails or go online."
