Kris Jenner is one of the reasons why The Kardashians have created one of the world’s biggest media empires. The mother of Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Kendall, Kylie, and Rob, has helped maintain the family relevant through years of reality television, while also helping them boost their individual careers. In a new interview, Jenner addressed the possibility of retiring, and whether that was in her plans.

In an appearance on the radio show “This Life of Mine with James Corden,” Jenner discussed retirement and what she had learned from her mother, who retired at the age of 82.
“Because my mom retired when she was 82 and she talks about her job every single day when we’re together, and she will say to me, ‘Oh, my job kept me young, and with purpose, and with joy,’” she said, making it clear that retirement wasn’t in the cards for her, at least, not now.
Jenner explained that work keeps her young, equipping her with skills that she uses in her day to day life. “It’s finding solutions for things. It’s your organizational skills. It’s your people skills. It’s the love of life,” she said. “It’s, you know, having somewhere to go, getting up, getting dressed, presenting yourself to the world a certain way, and interacting with the people that you love.”
