Kim Kardashian West will get a 10% stake in the U.S. branch of Israeli fashion eyewear company Carolina Lemke Ltd. as part of a deal that will make her the company’s new brand ambassador. The agreement, which has been in the making for several months, was announced in a filing with the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange made Wednesday by fashion retailer Castro Model Ltd., which owns Carolina Lemke.
As part of the two-year contract, the company and the media personality will also collaborate on a new line of products. The contract will come into effect in March, and can be extended by an additional one year period.
In its announcement, Castro estimates the total costs of Carolina Lemke’s first year of U.S. operations at between $20 million and $30 million.
Bar Rafaeli announced the partnership on Instagram yesterday:

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
