ICYMI: North West was i-D’s cover star earlier this month, and her super-telling answers gave us a glimpse into what the young media personality’s future could look like. When asked what she wants to be when she grows up, the 10-year-old had a list of options at the ready.
“A basketball player, a rapper, um … Well, when I was seven, I wanted to be a boxer. But now I don’t want to be a boxer,” she said. “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 … Also, one day I want to own Yeezy and SKIMS, and I want to be a business owner.”
In mom Kim Kardashian‘s latest interview, it sounds like North is already a budding entrepreneur, running her own lemonade stand. And as GQ said, Kardashian is “making sure to pass on that same work ethic and business sense to her own children.”
“She gets a huge pitcher and fills it, puts it in her wagon, and goes down to the corner,” Kardashian told the outlet. “She has a table and chairs and fans to keep herself cool. She makes signs. She stays there hours and hours.”
North’s friends will help, she said, and so they’ll split the money. The going rate is $2 a glass for a stranger, but everything reportedly changes if you’re a familiar face.
“If she knows you, she will fully scam you,” Kardashian insisted. “I’ll get calls from my friends saying she charged them $20 for a lemonade. She’ll grab their $20 and say, ‘I don’t have any change.’”
OOF! Damn, North. That’s cold. But that’s capitalism. So do your thing, girl. Besides, Kardashian is definitely making insane profit margins on her SKIMS products. So GQ might not be totally off base when they say her mom is passing down her business sense. Oop!
And can we take a moment to circle back to the fact that North West is hosting a lemonade stand?! We did not see that coming. Not when she’s one of the most recognizable and well-off 10-year-olds in the world. But it’s seemingly something that Kardashian — who also shares kids Saint, 7, Chicago, 5 and Psalm, 4 with ex Kanye West — is really happy about.
“I try to have my kids be as normal as possible and live in a neighborhood where they can ride bikes to their cousins’ houses,” Kim said. “I understand that [we don’t have] a normal life. We’re never going to have a normal family life no matter what.”
But they can have lemonade stands. And that’s a certain sign of some sense of normalcy. Even if it is $20 a cup sometimes.
