Scott Michael Disick (born May 26, 1983), who also goes by the self-appointed moniker Lord Disick, is an American socialite and media figure primarily recognized for his prominent role on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and its related spin-offs. His television fame paved the way for the real estate renovation series Flip It Like Disick aired on E!.
In addition to his reality TV career, Disick has ventured into various business enterprises, including founding the apparel line Talentless, investing in nightlife venues, and owning several vitamin companies.
Early life
Born in Eastport, New York to parents Jeffrey and Bonnie Disick, he grew up as an only child. Both his father and grandfather, David Disick, were involved in real estate development. Disick attended The Ross School located in East Hampton, though he did not complete his studies there. During his teenage years, he worked as a model for the covers of the Heartland book series. From an early age, he showed an interest in architecture and was an avid reader of Dwell. Raised in the Jewish faith, Disick was arrested at age 18 for driving under the influence and subsequently pleaded guilty to a noncriminal offense.
Career
Disick’s television journey began in 2007 when he appeared on Keeping Up with the Kardashians alongside then-partner Kourtney Kardashian, maintaining a presence throughout every season. Early episodes highlighted his evolving fashion sense and affinity for tailored suits.
In 2009, he co-starred with Kourtney and Kim Kardashian on the spin-off series Kourtney and Kim Take Miami. A notable controversy arose in a 2013 episode where he was depicted hunting an alligator to create footwear. This series concluded in 2013. Additionally, Disick appeared on a 2011 episode of the CW show H8R, where he attempted to alter a critic’s negative perception of him.
Between 2011 and 2012, Disick featured prominently in another spin-off titled Kourtney and Kim Take New York. A central storyline followed his role in opening a Japanese restaurant named Ryu in New York City's Meatpacking District. He played a part in both its design elements and menu development while promoting it at events such as Macy’s Fashion Night. Despite significant attention, Ryu received unfavorable reviews and shut down after 191 days; Disick exited the venture shortly after its launch.
During a 2012 visit to London, Disick purchased an online knighthood ceremony and began styling himself as "Lord," a title traditionally connected to land ownership. That same year, he served as a judge on Miss Universe 2012 and participated in an episode of Punk'd where his vehicle was towed as part of the prank.
In 2013, Disick debuted a web series called Lord Disick: Lifestyles of a Lord, which highlighted his extravagant lifestyle while sharing tips on luxury living. From 2014 through 2015, he starred alongside Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian in Kourtney and Khloe Take The Hamptons, chronicling their launch of a pop-up store and related events in the Hamptons area. This series also delved into Disick’s personal battles with anxiety rooted in his upbringing nearby. During filming, both he and Khloe made guest appearances as themselves on the television drama Royal Pains.
Between 2015 and 2016, Disick made guest appearances on multiple shows such as Kingin' with Tyga, held a recurring role on I Am Cait, and appeared on programs including Rob & Chyna, Wild 'n Out, and an episode of Kocktails with Khloe. He was considered for participation in Season 22 of Dancing with the Stars but declined due to disagreements over financial arrangements.
Disick began engaging in property development projects starting in 2015. In 2019, he launched his own reality television series titled Flip It Like Disick, which centers on his real estate and interior design ventures. The show documents Disick alongside his team—featuring Willa Ford—as they renovate upscale homes across Greater Los Angeles, focusing on remodeling celebrity properties within hour-long episodes.
Nightclub engagements
Disick has appeared at various nightclubs, including 1OAK in Las Vegas, Harrah's in Atlantic City, and LEX Nightclub located in Reno. His fee for these appearances sometimes reached $80,000 per event. Internationally, he has performed in countries such as Canada and the United Kingdom, where his compensation for UK events could be as high as $250,000. These bookings were frequently coordinated by his former manager, David Weintraub. Eventually, conflicts between these nightclub appearances and Disick’s struggles with addiction led him to stop participating in such events. Beyond appearances, he has also invested in nightlife establishments owned by acquaintances.
Talentless
In 2018, Disick introduced his fashion brand, Talentless, a name chosen to challenge the skepticism often directed at reality television stars. The label specializes in casual wear including T-shirts, sweatshirts, and sweatpants. The development of the brand was showcased during the eighth season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Notably, Talentless allocates 3% of its revenue to support the nonprofit organization Fuck Cancer.
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the brand released "Please Wash Your Hands" merchandise which sparked criticism for being perceived as insensitive. Despite this backlash, some celebrities, such as The Bachelor contestant Colton Underwood, were seen wearing these sweatshirts.
Collaborations and additional enterprises
In 2010, Disick revealed ownership stakes in several vitamin-related companies including QuickTrim, Rejuvacare, and Monte Carlo Perpetual Tan. He graced the cover of Men's Fitness magazine in May 2011. A 2015 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians highlighted his role as president of Calabasas Luxury Cars, a business owned by his friend and co-star from Flip It Like Disick, Benny Luciano.
Disick appeared in a 2013 promotional short film produced by Kanye West’s creative agency DONDA, portraying Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. He is also acquainted with rapper N.O.R.E., featuring on a skit titled "Scot Disick Speaks" on N.O.R.E.'s album Student of the Game. In 2015, he made guest appearances as "Jim" on two episodes of the web soap opera Youthful Daze.
He regularly shares sponsored content on Instagram, reportedly earning approximately $15,000 per post. In December 2019, Disick and then-girlfriend Sofia Richie attracted criticism for endorsing MDL Beast, a music festival held in Saudi Arabia amid concerns regarding human rights issues in the country. In January 2020, he appeared alongside Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian in advertisements promoting the mobile game Coin Master.
Personal life
Disick was in a relationship with Kourtney Kardashian from 2006 until 2015. Their meeting occurred at a house party hosted by Joe Francis in Mexico. Together they have three children: a son born on December 14, 2009; a daughter born on July 8, 2012; and another son born on December 14, 2014. Their relationship was documented extensively on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and its spin-offs. In 2010, they temporarily relocated to Miami with their one-year-old son Mason and Kourtney's sister Kim. After Kourtney raised concerns about Disick’s alcohol use leading to a break in their relationship, they reconciled following his brief sobriety and therapy later that year.
In the season one finale of Kourtney and Kim Take New York (2011), Disick bought an engagement ring intending to propose; however, Kourtney’s hesitation about marriage led him to decide against proposing. By 2013, he stated that they were content without marriage. The couple separated in 2015 but continue to share custody and co-parent their children. Disick remains close with the Kardashian family and was regarded as part of it as recently as 2019.
Disick lost both parents within months; his mother passed away after a prolonged illness in 2013 followed by his father three months later. He has battled substance abuse issues over several years and has undergone multiple rehabilitation stints between 2011 and 2020 at facilities located in Connecticut, Costa Rica, Florida, Malibu, and Colorado.
In 2015, Disick sold his home in Beverly Crest to NBA player Russell Westbrook. An avid car enthusiast, he owns an extensive collection exceeding twenty vehicles that includes models such as a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé, a Maybach, numerous Ferraris, Range Rovers, and Bentleys. This collection has been featured both on Architectural Digest and his own web series titled Lord Disick: Lifestyles of a Lord. Additionally, he collects high-end watches like Patek Phillipe and Rolex, some of which were stolen during a burglary at his residence in May 2016.
Disick began dating model Sofia Richie in late 2017 and publicly confirmed their relationship in September of that year. The couple frequently vacationed together with Kourtney Kardashian and their children before moving into a shared Malibu residence in 2019. Their relationship ended in August 2020. In addition to personal challenges, Disick faced legal issues including a lawsuit filed in 2018 over unpaid jet fees totaling more than $225,000.
He resides in Hidden Hills, California. His home was burglarized twice—in May 2016 and again in 2017—with authorities suspecting the latter incident involved an insider. His residence has been featured on both Flip It Like Disick and Architectural Digest. Between February and September 2021, he dated model Amelia Gray Hamlin, daughter of Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin.
