recipient of a Webby Award celebrating her explosive cyber powers.
The 35-year-old arrived to the ceremony, held at Cipriani
Wall Street in New York, in a stunning ensemble where she was honoured with the
brand new Break The Internet Award, and vowed to post 'nude selfies until I
die'

As the leading celebrity in terms of her online presence and
understanding of how to connect with a global audience via social media, apps
and online video, Kim has set the standard incredibly high.
'She has shaped our understanding of how someone or
something can draw the popular attention of Internet users everywhere. To the
degree that she's created a new type of celebrity - publicising her life to the
benefit of herself and her family - is due to the Internet.
'Kim's preternatural sense of being in the public eye, sees
her appearing at seemingly every major cultural moment, most notably, her
support of Caitlyn Jenner's sex change.
'Likewise, with her suite of apps including the latest,
Kimoji, which skyrocketed to the top of the most-downloaded list, Kim has expanded
her celebrity into new territories and, safe to say, to a high degree of
success as well
