Kim Kardashian is truly a jack of all trades!
During an appearance on BBC’s The Graham Norton Show on Friday, Oct. 24, the reality TV star, 45, revealed that in addition to the multiple entertainment and fashion projects that she’s currently working on, she hasn’t slowed down on her 10-year plan to become a trial lawyer. She appeared on the chat show hosted by Graham Norton, alongside her All’s Fair costar Sarah Paulson.
“I have a few projects coming up — I film my first movie in January, and we are hoping for a season 2 of All’s Fair,” Kardashian said. “I always want to be growing, curious and evolving, and I want to see wherever that takes me.”
Revealing that the results of her bar exams are due soon, she continued, “I will be qualified in two weeks. I hope to practice law. Maybe in 10 years, I think I’ll give up being Kim K and be a trial lawyer. That’s what I really want.”

The law career update came after The Kardashians star graduated from a Law Office Study Program on May 21. At the time, PEOPLE confirmed that it took her six years to complete rather than four due to COVID and other work commitments.
Jessica Jackson, one of the attorneys sponsoring Kim’s education, said in a speech, “Over the course of this program, Kim has dedicated 18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year for six straight years.”
“That’s a total of 5,184 hours of legal study, that’s time she carved out while raising four children, running businesses, filming television shows and showing up in courtrooms to advocate for others,” she added.
Kim shares four children — North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm — with her ex-husband Kanye “Ye” West.
Despite having never graduated from college, she began an apprenticeship with a law firm in San Francisco in 2018 and took the “baby bar,” also known as the First-Year Law Student’s Examination, in 2021.
In March of this year, she took the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) in Los Angeles, which is mandatory to complete before the bar in order to practice law in California.

The upcoming legal drama All’s Fair marks one of the SKIMS founder’s first major acting roles. When asked how she was able to run her businesses while working on the series, she admitted to Norton that there was a learning curve.
“I’ve learned you can. It was mentally challenging having to do it all, but I loved it,” Kardashian said.
Having been asked if she had to coach the reality star in any way during filming, Paulson said, “The truth of the matter is that she made me feel like a slacker. She’s running a business, she’s looking after four children, she’s studying for the law. She really is an impressive person.”
The Graham Norton Show airs on BBC One and iPlayer on Friday, Oct. 24, at 10:40 p.m. BST.
