Kim Kardashian is one of the most famous people in the world, but that does not mean that you know everything there is to know about the reality star. She does certainly share a lot of information on her blog, multiple social media accounts, and her long-running reality show. But then again, the information that she shares is also carefully curated towards building her brand and sticking with it. (That is where the big bucks come in.) That being said she is still a human being and of course there is always going to be more to learn about her. Some of these things are details that she has shared but in small amounts, and some of them are as reported by other people. (Like people who found her old MySpace account, imagine being friends with Kim on MySpace.) Here are 15 pretty interesting things that you never knew about Kim Kardashian!

15 She Really Cares About Her Body

Alright, you knew that. But perhaps you didn't know how much. Kim has said that she only goes to the beach at certain times during the day when the light is at a certain level so that her stretch marks will show less. That sounds pretty extreme and is hard to imagine scheduling a busy life in such a manner, but okay. One time when Kourtney was pregnant Kim took a look at her stomach and said that she was going to cry for her stretch marks and that they were her "biggest fear of life." When Kim got pregnant for the first time she found out that she was suffering from a dangerous condition called preeclampsia which causes a lot of swelling in the body. Swelling plus pregnancy weight gain made Kim look pretty large as most people would agree, and of course, she wasn't happy about it. But she did seem to think that it was purposeful, in the sense that god was  “teaching her a lesson” for “thinking she’s so hot.”

14 She Let Other People Name Her Kid

Kim and Kanye did not have any intentions of naming their first born daughter North until Pharell Williams and Anna Wintour suggested that they should. After North was born Kim and Kanye decided to test out who their real friends were in a sneaky plan. The two sent their friends photos of a baby that was not North before they had shared any real ones to the media, with the plan of seeing whether any of their friends would go against their trust and try to sell some of them to the media and make a quick buck. It's a funny idea, but the sad truth is that some of them did. Also, they think North is a star and “Her name, North, points in that direction.” Makes sense. Supposedly they would have considered the name whether they were having a boy or a girl. They certainly chose something unique, there isn't another North West in the world. Well, that is a person at least.

13 She Thinks Of Herself As A Princess

Kim's MySpace page back in the day was "Princess Kimberly." When she launched her own company back in 2007 to start marketing and selling her own goods she named it Kimsaprincess Inc. Seriously! LOL. For some other fun information about Kim's MySpace account, back in 2006 she only had 856 friends and 73 wall comments which is a stark contrast from the massive social media fame she is working with today. Her profile also lists that she would like to meet "God," that she wanted children "someday," and that her hero was her "daddy." Her bio read “I’m a princess and you’re not so there!” This was actually back when Kim was dating Ray J but before the whole homemade tape thing happened. In fact, Ray J was in her top eight on her MySpace account. The tape and reality show debut all occurred the following year in 2007. So crazy!

12 She Wrote A Book

Kim wrote a book... and we are not talking about the selfie one. (That is not exactly writing, now is it?)  Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney actually wrote a book called Kardashian Konfidential, which was published back in 2010. Although to be fair most celebrities also have a ghostwriter working with them they're writing a book, just a note. The book is technically an autobiography and features memoir details from their life growing up, some self-help advice, and some makeup tips. In the book, they touched on the fact that their not the average celebrity: “We are not actresses or performers. We are business women, sisters, a mother, a wife, entrepreneurs, fashion designers … And we did not set out to be celebrities. We are just living our lives, and our claim to recognizability is that we do it in front of the cameras, and people like watching it.”

11 Kanye's Music Gives Her Goosebumps

Kim once shared a Snapchat video of her driving around and getting goosebumps while listening to Kanye's music. That's an understandable situation if you like music it really gives you the feels and it's even crazier when it's someone that you care about making the music. In case you need reminding, Kanye was in love with Kim for a really long time before she came around and figured out that she was meant to be with him. She even married Kris Humphries while Kanye was into her. Of course, he was also dating other people, but you know. Kanye was one of those romantics probably nursing a burning a heart for years before the finally made it happen. Kanye first met Kim in 2004 and he said he loved her from the moment that he saw her. He has said, "I loved her from the first day I saw her, which I said on 'Bound,' I don't remember when that was." Awwww.

10 She Grew Up With Rules

It's obvious that Kim grew up without wanting for anything, but she also had to follow some rules to ensure that she could keep all that good stuff. When Kim got her first car on her 16th birthday her dad made her sign a contract that said if she ever drank alcohol, smoked cigarette, or smoked any other illegal substances she would immediately have the BMW taken away from her. The contract was actually seven entire pages long. Her dad was a lawyer after all so he probably meant business. No word on whether the rest of the kids in the family had to follow those types of rules when they got their first set of wheels, but it does sound like a reasonable way to keep your kids in line. Kim still doesn't drink much alcohol to this day so you have to wonder if that commitment to discipline stayed with her into adulthood as well. It's hard to deny that staying out of trouble does actually keep you out of trouble to a certain extent.

9 She Always Wanted To Be On Reality TV

Kim had always had dreams of being on reality TV. In fact, she considered trying out for The Real World but never got around to sending in her tape. This whole reality TV thing could have gone in a very different direction. She did actually appear on TV with Paris Hilton from time to time, and interestingly at one point, Kourtney was on a reality TV show called Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive. There was even a video released of Kim graduating from eighth grade where she claimed that she was going to grow up and be famous. In some sense or another, she knew what she was in for, whether that was having a knowing of her fate or something choosing it. Kim has admitted that when she's filming Keeping Up with the Kardashians she doesn't even take her mic off to go to the bathroom, so it's safe to say that she has a really close relationship with her crew. (Or she just DGAF.) Either way, that seems pretty ballsy.

8 She Still Claims She's Never Had Surgery

But the definition of surgery might be used a little loosely, as it's obvious that there has been some serious body modification going on whether or not it's technically been surgery. But one thing that she still maintains that she's never touched is her nose and her lips. She still references a lot of photos from her high school years to point out that her lips actually looked bigger then than they do now, and that's true and is actually quite mysterious. Perhaps it was all that lip liner? As for her nose, she explains that she's always had a hump on it but she uses contour to do the most shaping of her nose so that it just appears to be different. No nose job. It's hard to know without seeing her in person since she seems to be a master of the art of applying makeup and taking flattering photos. Who knows. Does it even matter? Probably not.

7 She's Funny

Kim claims that she is actually really funny, it's just that people don't always get to see that side of her. She has said, "I'm secretly the funniest person, but only in my inner circle. The things I say are wild." It's definitely safe to say that she isn't modest! Guess if she's keeping her sense of humor a secret then we'll never know, will we? But her family is pretty funny in general, so it's hard to imagine why she wouldn't be. The whole vibe of the family seems to be quite a lot of joking and rough housing, and if you grow up in that type of environment, you have to be prepared to hold your own otherwise you'll just get trampled by your siblings. Kim has a thing about not smiling to avoid wrinkles so maybe that's part of the reason why she holds in those funny quips. It's hard to imagine why someone with access to the best skin treatments on the planet would be the most concerned about getting wrinkles, but okay.

6 She Likes To Sleep In Hot Rooms

Kim prefers to sleep in very hot rooms for some reason, which is a trait that she luckily shares with her husband Kanye West. She has said, "I love only hot rooms and hate when the air conditioning is on. I knew Kanye and I were meant to be when I slept over and he had the heat on." A lot of people prefer the opposite situation, snuggling up in a cold room, so it's a good thing that they matched on that particular need. Kim seems to be one of the busier people of the world so having a bedtime routine is probably pretty important. Can you imagine shooting a reality show while having two children, a husband like Kanye West who sometimes acts like a child, a bunch of business deals, appearances, trips all over the world, and a giant family stopping by and texting you at all hours? That's a pretty unique experience in a lot of ways and it sounds both exhausting and energizing at the same time. The type of thing you'd have to warm up to...

5 She's Obsessed With Her Nails

Yet another part of Kim's body that she's obsessed with keeping in control is her nails. She has said, "I'm obsessed with my nails and cuticles. If my nails are chipped or not perfect, I feel filthy." Is it possible that Kim is a bit of a controlling perfectionist? It definitely seems so! Not that that's a bad thing because it certainly does provide a lot of opportunities when things are kept in check. But it can also be a bit exhausting to stay on top of so many things at once. Although, that's why you have an assistant and an entire hair and makeup team at your beck and call now isn't it. There are a lot of things that you could say that Kim is obsessed with, even without knowing her on a personal level.  She's definitely obsessed with selfies, makeup, clothes, etc. She even says the word "obsessed" a lot. Although it is interesting that with her controlling tendencies she allowed Kanye to come in and completely redo her closet, giving her an entirely new look overall.

4 She HATES Certain Foods

Most people have some foods that they don't exactly choose first but not everyone has an extreme hatred for certain foods. Kim does. She hates cilantro, mustard, peppers, blue cheese, and red velvet. Now the cilantro thing is a pretty popular one since for some reason some people think that it tastes like soap while other people don't at all. You can kind of understand the blue cheese thing since it's a super strong cheese. But red velvet? How on earth do you hate red velvet? (And when did red velvet even become a food, by the way? It seems like a flavor and yet its popularity in cupcake form has taken it to a whole other level.) If you were ever planning on getting Kim a cake or some cupcakes for her birthday, you know exactly what kind you should not be getting her. But probably don't send her cupcakes either way since that's a little stalkerish and odds are high that no one would be eating them anyway. Toast yourself with a cupcake in her honor, if you must.

3 She Is Afraid Of Heights

Kim has shared that she went skydiving once when she was 20 and then she became afraid of heights. A lot of people find that experiences like that can dissolve those types of fears by showing that it's actually safe, but guess that depends on how your experience actually goes. She has also shared that she was never afraid of bees and would actually play with them and has never been strung. Kim Kardashian the bees whisperer? Most people have been stung by a bee or two by the time that they're an adult, especially if they were going around trying to hold them. Who holds bees?! She clearly had some magic touch of some sort. Other understandable fears that Kim has experiences include living in fear following the robbery in Paris, having fears about her pregnancies since she experienced dangerous preeclampsia, and is living in fear of the day that her daughter gets social media. LOL.

2 She Brings Her Own Pillows On Planes

Kim has explained that when she is traveling, she makes a point of bringing with her own pillow and blanket on planes. This makes quite a bit of sense since most people would prefer their own pillow and blanket to the used ones that they offer when you're in the air. Plus she travels a lot so having some sort of a routine is probably important to make the process as seamless as possible. She has explained that the number one thing that she does to avoid jet lag is to fall asleep as soon as possible when she arrives at the new location, which she does with the help of her silk pillowcases. She also uses a lavender room mist in her hotel rooms, and uses an eye gel that helps her de-puff her eyes when she's tired. After that she says she tries to get some exercise on the first real day in a new place to help with adjusting to the time. And if all that fails, the next best thing is probably throwing on a good amount of highlighter and just pretending to be awake.

1 She's Never Had Starbucks Or Coffee Bean

Kim has said that she has never ever had a coffee drink from either Starbucks or Coffee Bean. That seems slightly impossible and is therefore a pretty interesting fact. Never??? Wow! These coffee shops are popular all over the world but especially in Los Angeles and Kim has lived in that city her entire life. Plus, there isn't a day that goes by without a celebrity being photographed drinking something from Starbucks. It's just the way things are. But this poses the question: does Kim drink coffee at all? She doesn't drink a ton of alcohol so maybe she's a lot more pure with her beverage choices than you might think. Whether or not Kim actually drinks coffee, some people have made coffee with Kim... in the sense that they've used that infamous photo of her bare bum on their coffee maker to make it looks like... you know. Fun fact?
