The underwear and shapewear company raised $225 million in its latest fundraising round – hiking its valuation up from $4 billion just two years ago, according to the New York Times .
The apparel firm – founded by Kardashian and Jens Grede in 2019 – is expected to rake in more than $1 billion in sales this year as it expands beyond its lingerie roots, now selling clothing and accessories.
