Kim Kardashian's latest game, which was mired in controversy, makes 700,000 dollars a day.

According to Doug Creutz, an analyst at Cowen and Company, if the sales of the game continue to grow at the current rate, it will make 200 million dollars within a year and enter the same league as Candy Crush, the CNN reported.

The game, 'Kim Kardashian: Hollywood', from Glu Mobile allows the user to create an avatar and indulge in wearing expensive clothes and going to photo shoots and "hob-nobbing with celebrities" to move up the ranks from the E List to the A List.

Currently, this game is one of the top five most downloaded apps in Apple's store, and the shares of the game maker have soared more than 30 percent since the app launched in late June.
