About Kim LaCapria

Kim LaCapria is a managing editor and journalist based just outside of New York City, in Babylon, New York. She has nearly two decades of experience in digital publishing, almost exclusively covering the intersection of internet culture, viral news, and pop culture.

Kim has extensive knowledge about all things entertainment, an encyclopedic knowledge of online history, and a keen interest in all things finance (particularly celebrity). When Kim isn't editing or writing, she's often watching or reading up on the latest in film, television, and music.

Her favorite shows are from the "Peak TV" era, and include The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Brooklyn 99, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Parks And Recreation, and the (prematurely canceled and criminally underrated) Netflix drama The OA.

Experience: Kim began her career as an entertainment and viral news writer at Inquisitr.com in the mid 2000s. In 2014, she joined Snopes.com as a content manager, senior writer, and fact checker, and was hired by TruthOrFiction.com five years later.

In 2023, she became TheRichest.com's Managing Editor, and has spent her days excitedly digging up details on celebrity money ever since. 

Kim has appeared on WNYC and HSN to discuss her work, and has been interviewed by BuzzFeed and Wired.

Education: Kim graduated from Manhattan's Fashion Institute Of Technology (FIT) in 1999, shifting her academic focus from art and design to luxury lifestyle.

Areas Of Expertise: Celebrity net worth, finance, lifestyle, wealth, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), hip-hop, indie music, the history of memes, viral content, digital folklore, urban legends, counterdisinformation, and fact-checking.
