Kim Kardashian has scored a hit with her new video game that could bring her annual revenue reaching $200 million, it has been reported.

The 33-year-old reality star has proven to be a virtual reality magnet as her free game Kim Kardashian: Hollywood ranked number three on Monday on the iTunes charts.

Kim released the video game on June 25 ranking as high as second in the most-downloaded free apps category, and Bloomberg suggest that it could be the star's most lucrative venture yet.

'This project has been an amazing experience. I'm so excited that people are enjoying the game!' Kim told E! News in an article on Monday.

'I partnered last year with a fantastic company called Glu Mobile to create what is now the No. 3 Free and No. 5 Grossing game on the Apple App Store. We collaborated on every aspect of the game's design details and continue to do so with the updates we are bringing out,' she added.

Kim Kardashian: Hollywood could reach $200 million in annual revenue, said Cowen & Company analyst Douglas Creutz in a recent Bloomberg article.

'Obviously, Kim Kardashian's brand has driven people to download the game. But at this point, the game has taken on a life of its own,' said Creutz.

Shares of San Francisco-based game creator Glu Mobile have risen 42 percent since the game's release.

The free game allows players to buy digital accessories for real money with $5,000 in virtual money costing $4.99 in US dollars. A pair of high heels cost about $4,000 in the game.

'Beautiful and big!' The objective of the game - which launches on the App Store and Google Play next week - is to 'create your own aspiring celebrity and rise to fame and fortune'

Encouraging narcissism everywhere. No wonder the world is going down the toilet.

I tried this game (a friend asked me to) and I can assure you: it's shallow and boring and only a very pathetic unintelligent little loser would play this for more than 5 min before pressing DELETE

I am no a kim Kardashian fan, but I have to say that the people hating on her aren't even people who are out there creating products and services that serve some purpose or the other to the consumer. its just the unbelievable truth.

It always amazes me how some people can do so little yet earn so much. While the rest of us toil for scraps.

She's more popular in other countries, especially the UK from what I read, so it's not the Yankees, as you put it, that are making her rich.

So, in other words, the app is free, but people have to spend real money in order to buy fake stuff for Kim in the app? Gotta go, because I think my head's going to explode.

The app is free. Even so, NO reason to download it.
