Kylie Jenner Is About To Become The World’s Youngest Self-Made Billionaire And People Are Throwing Major Shade

By Amanda Huffman

In just three years, Kylie Jenner has transformed her makeup line, Kylie Cosmetics, into an $800 million brand. Combine that with her reality television paycheck and social media endorsements, her net worth adds up to be around $900 million. According to Forbes, Jenner is expected to be the world’s youngest self-made billionaire at nearly 21 years old.

But is she really self-made?

There’s no denying that Kylie’s accomplishments are huge. To put her $900M wealth in perspective, her older sister Kim Kardashian West’s net worth is $350M. However, some argue that since she was born rich and is a member of one of America’s most famous families, she’s not actually self-made.

Does Forbes know what Self Made means? https://t.co/r9g3hSytR3

erm. being born into extreme wealth & instant fame is the exact opposite of “self made” https://t.co/c9rZyx03Al

Even the Dictionary weighed in on the issue.

Self-made means having succeeded in life unaided.

Used in a sentence: Forbes says that Kylie Jenner is a self-made woman. https://t.co/sr8Ncd7s5A https://t.co/ehEL7Cf6KV

Despite the critics, Kylie still has wide support from her fans.

Kylie Jenner did EXACTLY what she was supposed to do when you’re born rich. Use that wealth to generate your own. Now she’s the richest in her family 🤷🏾‍♂️. We have to be the generation to lay the foundation for our kids so they can be better than us..

One passionate fan even set up a GoFundMe account to raise $100M to “get Kylie Jenner to a billion.”
