Kim Kardashian's hugely successful career in the spotlight was launched shortly after her sex tape with singer Ray J was leaked in 2007.
The 41-year-old began starring alongside her family in reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians shortly after the tape was released.
Vivid Entertainment, who released the tape, claimed in a press release at the time that they purchased the tape from a "third party" for $1 million.
