Selfie queen and fashion icon aren’t the only titles Kim Kardashian wants to be known for, as she’s reportedly adding philanthropist to the list! After the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star visited Armenia, she has been interested in getting involved with the United Nations.
“Kim wants to be the new Angelina Jolie and earn her charity stripes via the UN,” a source exclusively told OKMagazine.com.
The reality star’s April visit to Armenia with her family sparked her sudden interest in charity work. “Of course Kanye West’s the driving force behind this, but after her tour of Armenia and learning about its genocide history, she’s really got the bug,” the insider claimed.

Only three years ago, Kim was actually talking her sister Kourtney Kardashian out of giving back! “Kourtney wanted to get involved in activism on behalf of Armenia and Kim stopped her,” the source said. “But Kim’s really interested in building up a philanthropic portfolio and stepping away from her ‘greed is good’ reputation.”
Although working with the UN would be a first for Kim, she has helped others in the past. In episodes of KUWTK, she explained how her late father, Robert Kardashian, would take her and her sisters to Skid Row in Los Angeles to serve food to the homeless. She even expressed interest in adopting a young girl named Pink from a poverty-stricken area of Thailand in 2014.
But if Kim wants to be the next Angie, she has a long way to go! Before the actress was appointed Special Envoy of UN High Commissioner for Refugees in April 2012, she served as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador.
