19 Hilarious Reactions To Kylie Jenner Becoming The Youngest ‘Self-Made’ Billionaire
Kylie Jenner may have lost her best friend Jordan Woods amid the Tristan-Khloe scandal but don’t feel too sorry for her – as Forbes just named her as the youngest ‘self-made’ billionaire in history. The announcement that crowned her the queen of the Forbes list was hardly a shock as last year she was put on the cover of their “America’s Women Billionaires” issue. However, not everyone was excited to hear about this mogul mom breaking the glass ceiling, because well as a member of the uber-wealthy Kardashian-Jenner clan and its family businesses – becoming the youngest billionaire was more of a roll down convertible than a glass ceiling. Just like they did last year people are sharing their funny comments to the accomplishment and, unlike her lipsticks, they are priceless.
Forbes Magazine just named make-up and fashion mogul Kylie Jenner the youngest ‘self-made’ billionaire ever
At only 21-years-old she has built up her brand Kylie Cosmetics into an empire. There was lip-kit mania over her signature product that became a must-have for every make-up junkie out there. At first, the lip-kits were only available for sale online or at pop-up shops that people were willing to sleep outside for access to. Her money mile-stone came last November when she signed an exclusive distribution deal with make-up retailer Ulta for over 1,000 of their stores. Following the deal, Kylie Cosmetics jumped up a 9% revenue. Forbes estimates the company is worth at least $900 million. And that, kids, what makes her one of the incredibly rich people.

When you combine her cosmetics with her other business ventures the magazine reports that there is no question this famous person is worth an estimated $1 billion dollars – pushing Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg out of the spot of the youngest-ever self-made billionaire. Well a spade is a spade and a billionaire is a billionaire, but people everywhere feel uneasy with the term ‘self-made.’ If you have been keeping up with the Kardashian-Jenners or even give them a quick google you will know that this might not be an accurate term and it is actually more in the lines of being privileged right from the start.
Dictionary.com took it upon themselves to challenge the term ‘self-made’

Exactly. And they have a media empire that rode in on the coat tails of the writers strike and all the reality tv that washed into the void. Let's not pretend they have anything more than that.
Load More Replies...Agreed. Throw out this garbage, put on more art.
Load More Replies...They are masters at a game that very few know how to play; making yourself indispensable to millions of sheeple who hang on your every word, for absolutely no logical reason except the highest level of shameless self promotion.
Oh, seriously. You forgot that they have had a tv show for years and that they have morphed their bodies through extensive surgery to create what didn't exist. They rode the wave of social media personifying fantasy for those who seem hollow enough inside to think that they have souls.
Load More Replies...Anyone else think that Forbes purposely used the words "self made" again because they knew the amount of attention it would garner? And in return boost their own revenues? Marketing 101.
All she did was dump make-up on millions of girls - who all wanted her lips. I would actually like a Kardashian REAL reality show. Where the sisters all had to do a week in a factory for 8 hours a day.
Load More Replies...That's exactly what i was thinking. i would like to see how she would have started that makeup business without the money she already had and her name.. people only buy it because they know her.. of course she did a good job, but was ist that hard? give other people that much money and a name and look what they are able to achieve..
How much would she have sold if the companies and customers said "Kylie Jenner..never heard of her..."
Load More Replies...I am so sick of the ridiculous notion that the latest overpaid self involved Kardashian has made some major contribution to the betterment of mankind by flipping a nip, pouting in some stupid lipstick that is only $75.00, sharing make up tips so all the women working on doctorates of science and medicine and Astro physics and life in general, can look as fresh and sexy and carefree as our latest female billionaire. And so young. To think all these gals wasted their younger years on something other than the care and feeding of their huge egos. Pay real women what real women are worth. Let the men, who are probably still making more for the same job, have their fun looking but please don't think we have Einstein in a short skirt figuring out the theory of relativity. Money. More money. Those asses are going to one day look like cats in a sack on their way to the river. Those kids are going to be a bigger pain in the a*s than their parents. I'm not impressed with any of it.
I don't like the term self-made, but I still prefer what she is doing than what Kim Kardashian is doing. Kylie Jenner actually do something, would be modelling or having a cosmetic line. Kim Kardashian just did a sex tape and never did anything except being... what exactly ? A "it" girl ?
I actually saw a brief moment of that tape - yuck.. I like Kendall - she has a job
Load More Replies...I've seen her tv show and it looks like she worked really hard to get where she is. I believe what I see on tv. Also her dad will always have a rancid s*****m
Even though I wouldn't call her self-made and, yes, of course she had connections and funds... But...I'm pretty sure most people don't get how much a billion dollars is? Self-made or not, hats off. This is only possible if you are a busines(wo)man...most haters can't manage their paycheck till the end of month 😏
It is her name alone - on the back of lip-fillers and a million selfies. She probably knows little about the ingredients, or the way the cosmetics are manufactured. Maybe has a say in the packaging and has her name on it. Would girls be clamouring for this stuff if she was still the "thin-lipped one"?
Load More Replies...I have no problem with people because they got their money throught hard work or inherited it. I know both rich and poor people who are a******s. And whoever wrote that clickbait article was an a*****e regardles the amount of money on his/her bank account.
Betcha he got paid for his hard work. I dont pouted lips and sticking his bum out, other than the foot tgat kicked him out of the editors space when the article was unavailable come deadline.
Load More Replies...The media, promoters, people who have absolutely no life, her family and hiring of people to sell her brand they are the ones who made this chick. Can we go one day without seeing something on these fame hungry people? She has nothing in the looks department that sets her apart. Amazing how far a name can take you. All these people out there who can't go through a day without a Kardashian fix please know makeup artists can turn anyone into a beauty.
PEOPLE Magazine used to have a column called "Famous For Nothing." People like LaToya Jackson and Kato Kaelin showed up there. That column comes to mind when I think of the PUBLICITY WHOREHOUSE of the Kardashian/Jenners.
Is this useless family EVER going away??? God, I feel like Idiocracy is happening for real. SMH.
Whatever, I'm too busy being weirded out by shoes that show off toe cleavage or whatever. Is that just me?
Call me what you will or charge me with hate, but I am a great deal more impressed when some of the at-risk kids with whom I work manage to make their lives work. These kids come from less than nothing, rarely have anyone behind them offering help and struggle against violence, abuse, substance abuse and similar issues. Yet, many of them straighten out, go to school/college and live successful lives. Sure, most will never become millionaires, much less billionaires, but I still have more respect for them than for someone born into a wealthy, supportive and powerful family. Someone, who at least from outside, seems unaware of her privilege.
My hard working hubby stomped into the room and asked me if I knew wth a "lip kit" is and I knew he had just heard the news lol
"About as self made as her dad's vagina". Laughed so hard, coffee came out of my nose...
Class as in having class? Hmm...nope, not really envying that

Self made? Man made. Every inch of them. Botox, liposuction, fat injections, this lifted and that straightened. And as far as Kim being big on prison reform, watching Scared Straight or the Shawshank Redemption is way different than volunteering some time in the big house. Just what have you done to reform our prison system.
I know I'll get down votes but how many street corners is she working to bring in that kind of money. Asking for a friend.
Who put this thing on BP we don't need to deal something about them, another bad article wastes a slot for a good story.
I don't believe she is a billionaire, more b******t from the family, she isn't self made, she got her fortune thanks to family money mainly Kim and that sex tape...
Forbes doesn't just take someone's word for the net worth lol if
Load More Replies...She’s as fake as that upside-down uneven irregular nose and face , matching body Self made Ugh.
She's just like a Kardashian. She never had to work to get to where she is.
Somehow it’s cool to s**t on and hate this girl for having family support. People are such followers it’s amazing. Nobody can even say why she’s bad, just that she’s not good enough to them. Somehow celebrity worship of RDJ and Chris Pratt is okay but even simply not hating Kylie is a crime. As if superheroes aren’t also just mindless entertainment. People are truly trash.
Some have said only her face is self made. Ummm... no it isn't. A plastic surgeon did that.
She learned young to brand herself as the commodity, which is sad. What is even sadder is that this is lauded as an "accomplishment"...
There are a whole lot of kids born under the same circumstances as her who are not billionaires by 21. I'm pretty sure she worked for it. But it's easier to work with things than having to create from nothing.
Haven't heard of any other celebrity's mom, who's whored them out on a daily basis so they could make money
Load More Replies...The people who buy her c**p should be ashamed of themselves. Nothing about this family is anything to be proud of. They make an embarrassment of our country.
If by "self made" you mean born into a wealthy family and well connected? I respect her hustle and work ethic but lets not call her self made.
NO she was never self-made!!! She has mother and a famous father and a bunch of sisters who without their help and name would have never made it on her own. I would like to see her do on her "own" and see how far she would have gotten. PUHLZZZZ....
It is SO sad to think that our world even knows who she and the rest of the Jenner-Kardashian are. Really? How in the world do we find ANYTHING to like about that bunch. I fear for the young women of the world. For God's sake people...they are not reality. Do not give ANY of them the time of day. You WILL be proud of yourself.
Don't blame her… blame the sheeps who follow her. she used them. those are to blamed
