| Nov 2025 | Series D | Goldman Sachs Asset Management (lead); BDT & MSD Partners | $225M | $5B | Skims, the shapewear, loungewear, and apparel brand co-founded by Kim Kardashian and CEO Jens Grede in 2019, completed a $225 million equity financing round led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives, with participation from BDT & MSD Partners’ affiliated funds. The round valued the company at $5 billion post-money and provides capital to fuel physical retail expansion, international growth, product innovation, and strengthening its position in apparel and activewear. Skims now operates 18 owned retail stores in the US and two franchise locations in Mexico, with plans for further stores in Europe, the Middle East, and Israel by mid-2026. The company has demonstrated rapid growth, with net sales projected to exceed $1 billion in 2025, following nearly $713 million in 2023 and about $750 million in sales that year. Revenue has quintupled over three years from $145 million in 2020, and Skims became profitable in 2023. High-profile partnerships include NikeSKIMS, NBA, WNBA, and USA Basketball, alongside expansion into menswear, swimwear, and activewear. Kim Kardashian retains the largest ownership stake, estimated at 35%, contributing significantly to her net worth. This funding marks an evolution from a digital-first direct-to-consumer brand to a global omnichannel retailer, up from prior valuations of $4 billion in 2023 and $3.2 billion in 2022. Leadership, including new president for Europe Robin Gendron, supports international ambitions. |

The brand operates via its DTC website and premium retailers globally, with over 11 million global waitlist sign-ups in the past year. Total funding raised across rounds now stands at $670 million, including a $154 million Series A in 2020.
