New York – In a gray suit with a snake pattern, her hand with pink painted fingernails energetically on her hip, or lasciviously with a powder compact on her cheek: Kylie Jenner presents herself as a business woman on Instagram – and her 128 million fans on the platform celebrate her for it .
On Wednesday night, she commented on a new photo with the simple words: “Thanks Forbes.” The US business magazine had just named the 21-year-old the first self-made billionaire to date and estimated her wealth at around a billion dollars (around 885 million euros). “I wasn’t expecting anything. “I didn’t foresee this future,” Jenner told the magazine. “But the recognition feels very good.”
Kylie Jenner is a whiz kid
Jenner is a whiz kid: As the youngest member of the Jenner-Kardashian family clan, currently the most famous TV family in the USA, the 21-year-old has surpassed everyone else. She was born in 1997 as the daughter of Kris Jenner and the former Olympic decathlon champion Bruce Jenner, who has lived as a woman since 2015 and has given herself the name Caitlyn. The two are now separated.

Kylie Jenner has a sister – Kendall Jenner, successful model – and numerous half-siblings: Kim, Rob, Kourtney and Khloé emerged from her mother Kris’s marriage to star lawyer Robert Kardashian, who died in 2003, and Caitlyn Jenner has a total of six children.

“Keeping Up with the Kardashians” has been on the air since 2007
The life of the huge Jenner-Kardashian clan has been documented for television since 2007 with the series “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” When it all started, Kylie was still a cute elementary school student and only played a small supporting role alongside her famous sister Kim Kardashian. But little by little, in front of the eyes of television viewers, she grew into an independent beauty and is now even a mother herself. Together with rapper Travis Scott, she is raising daughter Stormi, who just turned one year old.

Kylie Jenner launched a cosmetics line in 2015
From a young age, Jenner watched her sisters market themselves on social media and make a lot of money – and she followed suit. Jenner launched a cosmetics line in 2015, promoting the increasingly booming lipstick and powder business online. According to Forbes, her company is now worth $900 million. For all other appearances and jobs, mother Kris Jenner manages her daughter – as well as all her other children – and collects ten percent for them.

However, there is also criticism of the Forbes report: Jenner is not a real self-made billionaire. After all, she didn’t inherit the money, but without her family’s fame her company probably wouldn’t have become so successful so quickly. Jenner is well aware of this. “I had such a strong reach before I was able to launch anything,” she said. “That is the strength of social media.” (dpa)
