There's probably set of celebrity siblings that's more famous. Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie have managed to parlay their reality show fame (or is it infamy?) into nothing short of world domination. The famous sisters have graduated from five-figure pay days for merely mentioning their "favorite" brands on social media to each having their own gazillion dollar empires that include clothing and make-up lines (natch) as well as their own super successful apps.

Snapchat's stock took a dive losing $1.3 billion of the company's market value (yes, you read that right) in a single day when Kylie asked her 25.2 million followers on Twitter: "Sooo does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore? Or is it just me… ugh this is so sad." Ouch. And for more on the Kardashians, check out The Kardashians' 30 Funniest Moments.

Dubbed "The Wisteria Sisters" by the British tabloids, who once described the Middleton sisters as "highly decorative, terribly fragrant, and with a ferocious ability to climb," both Kate and Pippa have landed atop the social heap in UK.

Little sister Pippa married well, too, tying the knot last year with financier James Matthews.

Queen B has no better defender than her sister—just ask Jay-Z. The tabloids went nuts when footage surfaced Solange kicking and taking some serious swings at the rapper in an elevator at the 2014 Met Gala in New York City after rumors surfaced he was stepping out on Bey.

Father Matthew Knowles weighed in on the fight that made international headlines saying, "I laughed so hard, because if you know Solange, that's Solange. You never know what you're gonna get—[she's] a firecracker."
