Poor, poor Kourtney Kardashian! Despite being in one of the most famous families in the world, with a collective net worth of over $2 billion, Kourtney faces a most unfortunate malady… she is short! Cue the gasps, please.
Of course, it’s all in good fun. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being short! Nonetheless, the Kardashian-Jenner family and their fans haven’t stopped playfully teasing Kourtney about her petite stature.

There is roughly a foot of height difference between the tallest and shortest family members, which probably makes it difficult to get all their best angles when taking a photo together.
The Height Hierarchy in the Kardashian Family
The shortest Kardashian sister is Kourtney, a delicate 5ft 0 (152.4 cm). Kim is the second shortest, at 5ft 2 (157.5 cm).
Kendall is the tallest at 5 feet 9 ¼ inches (175.9 cm), followed by Khloe at 5 feet 8.5 inches (174 cm). Kylie and Kris are around 5 feet 6 inches (167.6 cm).
The height difference between Kourtney Kardashian, the shortest sister at 5 feet 0 inches (152.4 cm), and Kendall Jenner, the tallest at 5 feet 9 ¼ inches (175.9 cm), is 23.5 cm.
Kourtney Kardashian: Embracing Her Unique Stature
Kourtney’s size became a hot topic after she posted an Instagram post detailing her intense workout routine and sharing a photo of her scale, which displayed that the reality star weighed only 116 pounds.

Fans were immediately worried, believing the number to be too small and that Kourtney was underweight.
However, the Kardashian had to shut down the rumors that she was unhealthy by letting fans know that her weight reflected her height, saying, “PS: I’m 5 feet tall, so everyone relax. I’m on a workout kick, trying to bring some Monday motivation.”
Kourtney doesn’t seem to mind her height too much because what she lacks in inches, she more than makes up for in sass. She won’t stand for when people use her height to bully her other sisters.
Height Diversity: Challenges and Perceptions
Kendall is rather tall, but she doesn’t seem to receive much flack online for her height because she is a model, and it is important to her career.

Khloe has often been ridiculed for her height—especially when compared to the diminutive Kourtney—being called a “giant” and even accused of being O. J. Simpson’s illegitimate child.
Kourtney’s Perspective: Experiencing Life at a Different Height
In a discussion with Female First, Kourtney Kardashian shared a memorable incident involving her sister Khloe. Kourtney, who stands at 5 feet, once had Khloe, approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall, mimic her shorter stature.
According to Kourtney, this experiment produced an odd visual effect. She expressed irritation with people referring to Khloe as a “giant,” a label she finds unfair.
You know, one time I made Khloe stand at my height and it looked so weird. I’m like 5’0″ tall and one thing that annoys me is people calling Khloe a ‘giant’ because she’s like 5’9″, but that’s just normal – most women would die to be her height!

So anyway, when she’s there stood at my height just looking all around her, she’s like “it’s so… weird.” She looked so weird – I was like, “you could never be this height, it just doesn’t go with you!”
Kourtney acknowledged that given the nearly one-foot height difference, it might be challenging to gauge Khloe’s height accurately. Emphasizing the positivity, Kourtney remarked that most women would envy Khloe’s height, viewing it as ideal.
Even though Kourtney is teased about her height, she doesn’t let it define her. She’s known for her bold fashion choices, including a memorable black-and-white style statement in 2013.
