Forbes has officially awarded 21-year-old Kylie Jenner the title of world’s youngest self-made billionaire, but the internet is still not having it.
In an article breaking down the social-media star’s make up brand, Kylie Cosmetics, Forbes outlines how and why Jenner has risen to claim the title.
No ad to show here.
According to the report, Kylie’s brand is now worth $900-million, growing rapidly since its launch in 2016.
“She owns all of it. Add in the cash Jenner has already pulled from the profitable business, and the 21-year-old is now a billionaire, with an estimated fortune of $1 billion,” Forbes explained.
The internet however, more specifically Twitter, does not feel that Jenner deserves to be associated with the term “self-made”, on account of her rich and famous upbringing.

And if anyone was starting to doubt what self-made actually means, Dictionary.com confirmed what we already knew.
Whether or not you feel offended by the blatant misuse of language, there is one thing that can’t be denied.
