What makes you think she isn't working her ass off?

Plenty of people work harder and have nowhere near as much money. That’s a small part of how you know she’s working smart.

Considering her surgeries, I'd say she's been working her ass on.

She's not really working hard per se. Her net worth is a subject of frequent controversy, since much of her fame was inherited from the Kartrashian family.

No doubt she's done very well, but I took the OP to mean people who've achieved significant things without the absurdly privileged springboard of beauty, wealth and famous connections.
