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.

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.
Grumble O'Pug 6 years ago
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.

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.

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..

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 ?
diane a 6 years ago
I actually saw a brief moment of that tape - yuck.. I like Kendall - she has a job

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"?
