North West Wants Normal Job Serving Coffee When She Turns 14
North West wants to work at Starbucks when she turns 14, seeking a regular job despite her parents' multi-billion dollar empire and her own music career.
North West wants to clock in at Starbucks when she turns 14, and that’s actually a beautiful thing to witness.
The 13-year-old daughter of two of the most powerful figures in entertainment just revealed she’s got her sights set on pulling espresso shots and making lattes for regular customers, which is a refreshing contrast to the world of privilege she’s been born into.
But she’s also clear about wanting something different, something grounded.
“I want to have a regular job, I guess,” she told Dazed in an interview. “I wanna work at, like, Starbucks next year. I think I can next year cause I’m gonna be 14, so, I think I can. I want to have a regular job, I guess.”
Her mother, Kim Kardashian, commands a $1.9 billion empire built on SKIMS, beauty ventures, and strategic business moves.
Her father, Kanye West, has a net worth somewhere between $350 million and $400 million, depending on who’s counting, making North’s desire for a normal gig feel almost rebellious.
What makes this confession so meaningful is that North isn’t rejecting her music career or the opportunities that come with her last name.
She’s already released her debut EP, “N0rth4evr,” and performed at Rolling Loud alongside rapper Molly Santana, proving she’s serious about her creative path.
The contrast between her parents’ empire and her desire for simplicity reveals something important about how she’s processing her identity.
Their daughter wants to learn what it feels like to earn money the way most people do, to interact with customers without a team of handlers, to experience the kind of work that doesn’t require your name to precede you.
The fact that North still wants to work a shift at Starbucks despite having access to virtually anything money can buy speaks to something deeper than just wanting a job.
