There seems to be a misunderstanding about Jordyn Woods, so let’s clear it up right now. Jordyn does not (!!!) and never did (!!!) need the Kardashians to put money in her bank account—no matter what narrative America’s First Reality Family wanted to push after her *breathes exhausted sigh* cheating scandal with Tristan Thompson.

And while, yeah, being Kylie Jenner’s Best Friend™ obviously helped Jordyn grow her platform, she’s always had career opportunities outside of the Kardashian world. To be honest, the very fact that Jordyn has been killing it since said cheating scandal unfolded proves just how well she runs her own life. Buuuuut in case you need proof in the form of numbers, let’s dig in.

First, Let’s Talk Keeping Up With the Karda$hian$

Okay, so the questions on everyone’s minds are: (1) Was Jordyn making money as a KUWTK costar? and (2) did she get a bonus for allowing this cheating scandal drama to play out in the finale? The answers: almost definitely yes and who the hell knows.

The Kardashians have never revealed how much money friends like Larsa Pippen and Jonathan Cheban make from the show, but obviously, no one is going to spend all day filming for free. So let’s go ahead and assume Jordyn was cashing checks for her earlier work on the show. But when it comes to her payout for the episodes that focus on the cheating scandal, logistics get a little...murky. Personally, I’m convinced Jordyn got paid. Why? Well, remember how Tristan Thompson’s image was blurred this season and Jordyn’s was not? Khloé herself confirmed that the blurring meant he had refused to sign a contract, which implies Jordyn *did* sign one, so presumably, she got paid for her work. But again, this is just a theory!

Reminder: Instagram Pays Big

Jordyn has 11.3 million followers on Instagram (up a cool million since last summer!), and obviously, she dabbles in the fine art of sponsored content. It’s unclear exactly what Jordyn makes per post, but it’s pretty easy to guess based on her fellow influencers. Thanks to scheduling tool Hopper HQ’s 2018 Instagram Rich List, we know influencer Zoe Sugg makes around $16,000 per post, and she has around 9.5 million followers. Seems safe to assume that Jordyn earns at least that, if not more.

Awkward, But Khloé “Employed” Her

As a reminder, Jordyn's a professional model. She signed to Ford as a child (BEFORE SHE KNEW KYLIE), and in addition to working with Yeezy and Express, she modeled for Khloé’s brand Good American. Khloé definitely paid her—something Kim made super clear on KUWTK when she said, “We were kind of just watching it all unfold. Jordyn was someone Khloé really trusted and believed in and supported and employed.”

Like, fine, but the idea that Khloé was somehow providing for Jordyn—which Kim’s quote implies—is pretty off base, not to mention borderline rude! A basic Google search tells us that Jordyn was modeling long before Good American came around, and one shoot doesn’t exactly qualify as employment.

FYI, Kylie Didn’t Make Her Rich

Everyone out here assuming that Kylie paid for Jordyn’s life needs to step back for a moment and remember that Kylie and Jordyn were friends because they run in the same Calabasas-rich-person circle.

Kylie and Jordyn lived in the same zip code, hung out at all the same places, and had the same celebrity friends even before they became BFFs. To assume Kylie just plucked Jordyn out of obscurity and started paying her bills—and to ignore the fact that Jordyn and her family worked hard for their money—is incorrect and also pretty problematic!

She Has Her Own Clothing Line

It’s called SECNDNTURE, it’s size inclusive, and it’s super cute.

And Her Own Workout Brand

It's called FrstPlace and you can get workout guides and resistance bands. Go forth!

Aaand, She Collaborated with Kylie

Remember the Kylie x Jordyn collection? Yeah, well, obviously, Jordyn didn’t sign her name and image away for nothing. Who knows how much she made in total, but the collection did really well (even though Kylie temporarily slashed prices after the scandal, LOL).

P.S. Kylie Cosmetics is just one of the many companies Jordyn has collaborated with over the years—others include BooHoo, Addition Elle, and the fake eyelash brand Eylure.

She’s a Freakin’ Actress Now

Jordyn made her first major acting debut on an episode of Grown-ish, and was semi-recently in a music video. Behold!

So, What’s Her Total Net Worth?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, that’d be $6 million, which is approximately $6 million more than I have, so yeah. SHE’S DOING JUST FINE!
