The amount of money Kim Kardashian and Ray J’s notorious s*x tape made has been revealed, and according to a new email, the s*x tape made more than a million in six weeks via the Daily Mail;
Kim Kardashian’s notorious s*x tape with former boyfriend Ray J made more than a million dollars in revenue within its first six weeks of release, according to newly published financial records.
Ray J has sparked a feud with Kardashian, who he dated more than 15-years ago, and her mother and business manager Kris Jenner by claiming Jenner oversaw its release with adult film production company Vivid Entertainment.
And documents exclusively obtained by TMZ suggest the film made an extraordinary amount of money over a comparatively short period of time following its distribution in 2007.
An email to Kardashian, purportedly from Vivid Entertainment CEO Steve Hirsch, claims the explicit tape raked in $1,424,636.63 in revenue, including $1,255,578.50, from DVD sales.
Dated April 31, 2007, the correspondence would appear to have been sent just two months after Kardashian filed a lawsuit opposing its release on February 21.
Kim and Ray J previously signed an agreement with Vivid regarding their s*x tape, and following the reality star’s lawsuit, she and Ray J reluctantly agreed to release it.
Vivid’s Steve Hirsch has also openly discussed the deal in the past, calling it a ‘difficult deal to get done’ because Kim did not want the tape out.
The tape, reportedly shot in Cabo San Lucas, was subsequently released by Vivid Entertainment on March 14, with Kardashian’s lawsuit dismissed on April 27 – just four days before she was informed of its sales figures.
Ray J also previously said that the deal him and Kim made was that they would each receive $400,000 for the tape plus 12.5% of the profits, figures which are reflected in Hirsch’s email.
Ray J has all the receipts.
