That's just Forbes doing the loose journalism again; this has happened so many times before like in the case Elizabeth Holmes. They push a story hard cause they want it to be true. And I am not hating on Kylie at least she did something with her life.
so true. every fkin entrepreneur says the exact same thing . When you finally develop something that is worth offering to the world, people follow you, investments start coming automatically.
Sounds like you need an Idea, and you need to network! Whoever tells you that money is not important is an IDIOT, and you do NEED THE MONEY. How do you think she got so rich, from her ideas LMFAO! if you think that then you might as well join the other Lemmings in this post. She got rich because she had enough money for people to BRING her ideas...... ugh i was gonna keep going but I see its pointless the amount of dumb people in this world frustrates me.
OMG !! OMG!!! I never thought i could ever get rich until I met Mr.Dennis who have been helping people trade forex and there were able to make HUGE profits weekly, I'm so happy to make $10,000 weekly from Forex/Binary option. Best Platform ever to invest @Dennis__forex09 at Instagram.
An Mo technically she isn’t. She had a famous family to get her brand out and hundreds of millions to produce her products and her business running, self made is when you come from nothing and build your way up and get your brand out there and make all that money and achieve goals with no boost
anastasia I was thinking the SAME thing. Starting from the bottom up is like living in the projects and becoming a millionaire lol. She started from the top and had lots of help from family and investors to provide money to build the brand I’m sure. Wouldn’t really call that self made. LoL
Weird af don’t get discouraged, I was also peeved when I saw articles calling her self made & asking people what “they were doing with their lives” as if people don’t work 10000times harder than her & her entire family combined...but after looking at it closely I’ve realized it’s most likely all just fluff & propaganda, the kind of propaganda that bought trump his presidency...the kardashians are literally just a manipulative bunch of social climbers
Grace Bediako Don't be so harsh on yourself. That's what my comment was all about. Society makes everyone who isn't a millionaire and worldwide famous feel like a failure and that's so wrong.
This is one of the many forms of success that society celebrates. We celebrate doctors finding cures, random acts of heroism, etc. If you're depressed about people having success with their business then stop watching videos about people finding success with their business.
haha hoho I get very happy hearing about people who start from the beginning, without millions of dollars in their bank accounts and millions of followers for simply existing and find success with their businesses. Kylie is praised so much for being successful when what she did was win the life lottery.
1. Start with 60M 2. Get another TOKEN loan for 250k 3. Get managers and flunkies to do all the rest whilst you said it was all just you and sit on beaches and sleep with ballers.
money always made money. My home went up 250k in a year, because I had the cash the invest in one million home. There are many ways money make more money than labor. You can also buy few homes like her and rent all them out and never have to work a day since you hire management companies to do the work. Rarely you have people who got rich from nothing. wealth is generational in many ways not just money. The knowledge your parents gained in capital investment and diversifying etc is also knowledge normal families don't have, which give you a head start. Once you have the capital hire a portfolio manger and they will invest on your behalf The good ones can make you hefty amount however it cost 1 million and up to enter the door with them. That being said, many entitled kids often waste their entire parent's hard work and lose it all. It is also possible one day you woke up and parents are bankrupt meaning you have nothing either. At least she build something and even if it fails she never has to worry ever again if she invest those profit properly. I also buy her make up they are actually pretty good.
Forbes really did her a disservice with poor labelling and branding. It should have been sufficient to simply say “Meet the next Billionaires”. Then all ensuing arguments would be moot.
she said i struggled for a "minute" with finding something to do on my own. i need someone to teach me more about the word " struggling" may be i understand it wrong :D :D
The word “struggle” can be used in a negative context, to mean problems and fighting. It is also used on a psychological level to mean having trouble and questions in your mind. When she said she struggled to do something on her own, she meant that she faced some problems deciding what she wanted to do with her life. Saying “struggled for a minute” adds another meaning, that she didn’t face these problems for a long period of time. She recognized her passion and made a business out of it. Hope this helps.
it is not easy to have a "perfect sister" that almost the same age with you. Before this lip kit thing I always thought Kylie must have been struggled because every one praised Kendall like crazy and she got such an amazing career in modelling. Which is hard for Kylie because physically she doesn't have model material. Struggle is not only about money, especially for someone like Kylie who lives in front of people's eye..
no joke! she was 13 rocking all designer clothes and jewelry with a 20M salary , and they call her self made from being born infront of a camera, like how disgraceful it is for the ones who really started from the bottom. Hollywood is a big crucial lie
Struggle to find something to do in life is not the same struggle as with money. Boy do you even get that words mean diffrent things in diffrent context
It’s actually because of Robert Kardashian and Oj simpson. The kardashians earned a lil fame because they were aqquintanced of OJ and Nicole. Then after Robert died she married Bruce, and he was a well known Athlete. After that they got the show and Voila, fame.
Did you factor in the fact that her sisters and mom architected something for years while she was a teenager that she was able to walk directly into,that gave her a springboard? That she had the financial capabilities of deploying ungodly amounts of plastic surgery, and all the other variable things that she’s been able to do to create that culture,and that financial benefit?
EDIT: Honestly, I'm more interested in her mother, she is a genius. Stop pretending her mom didn't build this empire over 10 years. She got some money from her mom, that average people do not have, fans that average people do not have to build this business. On top she doesn't do returns. If that was allowed, I don't think she'd be a "self made billionaire" just yet.
jeremie osbourne Her acknowledging that is not the point. It's the fact that literally she's created through her mother's creation. Is she really self made then? She didn't start from the bottom
Nia A Starting from the bottom or being poor is not the basis to self made. The point is that she made her own money and is not living off her families fortune. Yes she was born rich but she got richer. Paris Hilton who was born richer wasnt anywhere near as successful as her when she was 20
Coming from money and making more money is nothing new. Yeah you can blow your fortune but when you are a multimillionaire and billionaire unless you are a total asshat you should be set for life.
How to be a billionaire: 1) Become famous for simply existing 2)Be admired by millions of impressionable youngsters, who are so obsessed with you and could even spend their money on plain air if it was promoted by you 3)Sell products of cheap quality for very very expensive 4)Have a great team do all the work for you 5)Just post about your business on social media 6)Have everyone praise you for your intelligence, business skills and hard work when all you do is use your last name to get richer and richer
Your point no. 4 actually praised her.....the foundation of any business lies in having great team and this is the biggest challenge of all.....if you can't appreciate don't be so much hateful at least.....
Forbes should put people in the magazine who are inspiring and creative. Those who had to start from zero. And the word used SELF MADE for Kylie is totally wrong. Kylie got rich by showing her figure and a little bit of mommy's money. Forbes grow up and focus on the people who are changing the face of the world and impacting millions of lives.
Regardless of what public opinion thinks about the Kardashian-Jenners, I actually have mad respect for Kylie. Running a company is super hard, and being successful is even harder. Also, girls gotta support other girls.
They really do. I expected so much excitement from women for a freaking 23 YEAR OLD WOMAN ALMOST BILLIONAIRE. But instead she's getting hate. This is a win for all women and their slandering her for absolutely nothing. Edit: She's 20. Which makes it even more exciting and outstanding.
Despite what people say about celebrity kids who already had their empire built for them, if they do end up becoming entrepreneurs, I still admire them because I'm sure at some point when they're famous, you're still going to reach that stage where they go "I want to do what I love, not what what my family has done before me" because they're also humans and want to find something fulfilling. Yes, their parents' or siblings' fame might have helped them gain their income, but to an extent they'll have to start giving their own individual value to their own audience and customers as well, otherwise they wouldn't be able to continue their business growth. Thanks Kylie for being a young entrepreneur. I admire any female entrepreneur. We need more of it in the world. I also love her voice and her composure. So feminine and elegant.
yes she could have just slept and did nothing. But she chose to do something. Not everyone can find motivation to work when things are handed. That is why you have so many bratty rich second generation.
LoOoL Yes I agree because that is what’s supposed to happen when you start a business. Everyone starts a business FOR that reason. For income to keep flowing in and to have more freedom to do what they want and live the life of their dreams rather than work 9 to 5 in an office (which is fine depending on your preferences).
The statement "Yes, their parents' or siblings' fame might have helped them gain their income" is very important. Although I agree that you should do what you want in life. I get so sick of people praising these people as entrepreneurs when they are so far from it. So this is how it works these people get sat down in a room with the people who actually CREATE the ideas. They don't come up with anything and they create absolutely nothing. The leg work is not done by them and half of them couldn't tell you how to start a lemonade stand. You think Dr Dre sat in a room and made Beats? Hell no he didn't and I'm not knocking him or any other celebrity but having money GIVEN to you to invest does not make you an entrepreneur. Is she smart for investing in a hot product yes, was she a vital part in the success of the business HELL NO. She had CAPITAL and that's what gave her what she has not leadership skills or crowdfunding or money management. I don't understand why this is such a big deal other than she is famous. She could have started a store selling farts but none of that would come from here entrepreneurial skills. Not saying she shouldn't be admired, just not as a Entrepreneur because she is far from it.
Because she wants to give her mom credit. Her mom most likely helped with the biggest responsibilities in the business or pushed her to deal with them on her own but with a bit of help. Who knows what the deets are!?, but she clearly stated how her mom helped a lot
There isn't even any proofs about that she "lied". Get your proofs first and do not believe everything u hear. U know that theres people that are jealous about kylie being billionaire and they would do anything that kylie would not be that anymore.
I don’t brag myself but I’m far to have moneys problem And I’m not interested of the fame. She have a net worth of 900M$ she just lied to be the youngest billionaire and make a marketing about that.
@@danielabelvalenia184 lmao she lied about her tax returns and the income her business made, and Forbes sucked her off. Why don't you do some research first before getting a degree from simp University and sucking her off
maybe this list should be called from rich kid to billionaire. Instead of self-made billionaire, I think people that had nothing, no fame, no money are the ones that should be called "self made" billionaire.
Although given the opportunities, not many rich kids have the dedication, focus and fire to start something on their own, bc most are too comfortable with their parents’ money. So props to her!
I don’t care what family she was born into, her money prior etc. she created her own company, made is successful and invested in herself. 21 and on top of the world. May this be motivation for everyone to be successful and prove everyone wrong.
Hannah I wouldn’t look To her as inspiration. Maybe other rich kids can but for regular folks no. The people who I consider inspiration are people like Oprah, Tyler Perry, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre etc started from nothing
Yeah that’s inspiring and All. But I wish I was born in a Family who was already going places. Also. I wish she would have addressed refunds and Making makeup better for the price. A real business woman would do that
Lol she's not fucking self made...she made makeup, sure (with backing from her rich family) that wouldn't even have sold if it weren't for her famous family...she would 100% not be able to do what she did without her family...I think she should acknowledge that more.
JJGalz she did acknowledge her mom who was the one that built the wealth people always say it was Kim but kris started as an air hostess and built an empire and kylie is the only One to take it further for only one generation of wealth it’s still amazing
Wow, how inspirational. NO. Sorry but she was born with a platform. This is not self made & not inspirational. Support me on my youtube channel. I foreal am starting from the bottom LOL
she is clearly not dumb and has a talent. she used fame and publicity in a smart way.... lip filler news , tyga news, pregnancy news, metball outfits, her tv show.. memes even influenced that fame. and she turned money given from her family into a big business ... yes she is famous for dumb things , not even life changing skills. but she did it lets be honest
elisabeth fors - what you're passionate about has to be something you're also good at if you want to be paid for it. Just because you're passionate about it doesn't mean you are going to be good at it.
It's a huge privilege to be able to choose to a job based on passion. The majority of the world doesn't get that luxury, most of us are doing whatever we can just to get by.
Questions: How did she even know HOW to actually make her own makeup at 19? Doesn't that take like lots of science and knowledge of cosmetic chemistry? Where did she get the money to start? Did SHE actually do all the hiring? Where is her company located? just isn't adding up here....
Jeremy Murray, The fact that she already come's from a family of attention whore's who have money I'd say it's a strong hint that that's where she got the backing to get started! Her money hungry mom backed her & got the right people to help Kylie put all this together! Wish they would disappear all together myself!
literally none of the people that own makeup companies actually make the formulas. they just approve them. she put up her own money from other jobs (clothing lines, modeling gigs, brand endorsements, etc). her mom is her manager & business consultant so i’m sure she helped her hire employees. if you read the article her team is actually very small. it’s located in california. it adds up if you take 2 minutes to research.
@@lamb9770 those gigs were given to her because she is part of the Kardashian Clan and NO other reason, she didn't start this herself. He team is famous for stealing designs from hard working independent artist and not paying them anything. Kaylie is no disconnected from the process that she doesn't take any of the hard decisions, every time there is a crisis she says "I don't make the decisions". She is a joke, not a boss.
'self-made billionaire'? Oh yeah she had millions because of the reality show and made them into billions. Are you kidding me forbes? You advertise this all over your social media and expect people to do what? To relate to her, to praise her or? Cause I can't find any reason why Kylie should be on the cover of forbes
Jianna Jackson everything she started was influenced by the show, the 100m followers where they are from? The 30k$ per episode at age of 10 where they are from? The 250k$ to start the company where they are from? Billionaire and Self made are two different things. GOOD JOB for the billion but lets be honnest she doesnt have 150 IQ like zuckerberg or gates, without her family money and show she would have 755 subs on instagram, acnee ugly and working at walmart 24/7
You don't need to have a high IQ to be a billionaire. You just need efficient advisors and a keen business sense. What you especially need, is money. Every entrepreneur needs money obviously. Some will source it from family money, some will get it from savings, others from loanage or government grants...you don't know. Just because Kylie's methods of obtaining money was highly publicised, doesn't mean she was the only billionaire to start with money however grand the amount may be. For example, Bill Gates started with a $200,000 investment in Microsoft as well. Kylie did have the powerful benefit of advertisement, but that doesn't make her (not) self made, it just puts her in an advantageous position. Stop asking rhetorical questions and answer them yourself rofl you're so badminded.
Exactly. @TraderJedi, I agree with you. She isn't a self made billionaire. She was a privileged white girl with a rich upbringing. The people that buy and follow her today are young kids and naive kids that want to be just like her, but that isn't the reality. Good for her that her lip products blew up, but she was already in a good position from the start.
Ashmeet singh factsss like yes she made something of herself becoming an entrepreneur. But everything she needed for that was basically handed to her. There's nothing exactly wrong with that i mean if you have the money why not use it? but it definitely does not make her self made.
@@xoxolove3697 Did you watch the frobes video counter attack that she is billionaire?, her worth doesn't make it even to 900 mil, but even its less than that yes she is still rich.
Turning Millions into Billions isn’t that easy. Selling an image, brand and product that is high in demand is extraordinary. Especially with little advertisement. I haven’t seen one Kylie cosmetics commercial or billboard. This brand is really paving the way for future marketing.
Brody Nola it's free for kylie. it's her profile promoting her own products to her fans. It's only expensive if the brand is using someone else's platforms (tv, billboard, social media) to advertise their product.
Never ever ever tell me that people in finance make too much money when a name and zero technical skills will make you $900M. If no one knew her name from birth she would be working at Starbucks as that is all she can leverage. Her mother though, well I don't like her but I certainly respect what she has been able to achieve and build throughout her life.
she didn't do anything new, did not invent. all she did was slap her name on something that already existed. i different blend color. gee that was so hard. i hope this isn't the apex of her life.
i think u missed the point. after she's done with all of this, success or not, she will find the she never accomplished anything meaningful to her fellow man. money certainly won't hurt though.
joe fitness - You are perhaps conflating things. If she donates even a portion of that 900 million to charity, she will have accomplished something hugely meaningful to her fellow man; that is a great thing. Your comment seems shortsighted and premature.
I mean why wouldn't she be.... she's a millionaire, all her daughters are millionaires, one is gonna become a billionaire, she married two wealthy men, she lives a luxurious life, and never had to work hard or struggle for money. I'd be cheerful also!!!
She became successful because she changed her face. She had to become someone else before she got anywhere. No one's going to buy makeup from an average looking girl. She has no personality, she doesn't come across as very bright.
Fact. She has zero personality. Most of her " friends" hang out with her because of money and boys wants to have one night stand with her or because of money.
Yes she has an advantage of being rich from the beginning (easier to start a business) and fame (basically a free marketing). But it takes much more for a business to worth almost a billion dollar in just 2 years. She knows what she’s doing and it works. Much respect for Kylie and her mom.
Blue Girl not really, michelle phan was pretty popular and her make up line flopped. Kim K has more followers than kylie but her kkw beauty valued ‘only’ 100 million dollars in a year, which is quite phenomenal but nowhere near kylie cosmetics. All I’m saying is its not easy to run a business to this level of success, fame does help but only in the beginning. And she deserved the credit for achieving that in short period of time.
andre dwi I’m sorry did you not see Kylie’s CONSTANT advertising on social media, and her PR going to beauty gurus and her MILLIONS of fans? Kylie’s one thing is her makeup line. That’s what her thing is in her family. Kim tried to have a makeup line but everyone knew that makeup wasn’t Kim’s passion. Plus Kylie’s constantly coming out with new products (which aren’t even that good). So yes it was easy for Kylie. She inherited millions of dollars, fame, and huge fan base. She didn’t do it herself. Therefore, not self made.
I was feeling really proud of her until I remembered her company screwed over so many creators by not paying for their labour or cheating them. The fashion industry is the sickest, built on the cheap labour and workers.
I like "self made" she sold lipstick based off of her fake lips. No lipstick will give you that look. You need 37 surgical procedures , Botox, and injections. A surgeon made her then her sisters and famous dad paid her.
She really does have a different vibe about her after having a child. She seems more confident and for the first time she looks genuinely happy. No , I wouldn’t call her self-made ... but she took advantage of the resources she had in front of her and made something of herself. I can respect that.
People are being so bitter in this comment section.. About her family helping her, having being born in a multi million family and so on.. I just want to ask.. How many millionaire kids do something on their own apart from inheriting their property? How many known celeb kids build up on their ideas to make it prosperous? Like yes fame helped her but she didn't just sit and rely on the fame. She used it to better herself! Im not really into makeup and all but I like her determination. Just pray for someone's uplifting then you can also go up.
Of course Kylie's having fun everyday, she probably only does the fun parts of the job. I mean good on her for making something out of her fame, but she didn't have to put in the work or really do anything for the company to succeed. I highly doubt she replies to dozens of boring emails or has ever handled the company's finances. She has paid people to do it from the very beginning. No blood, sweat, and tears like most people have to go through to get a business running. No hate to Kylie, it'ss not her fault that she was handed wealth and fame. I'd love to see a "Day in the Life" though because from the outside, it looks like she does nothing but play with make up.
Yeah she never had to be homeless for spending all her life savings on her “business” she never went through anything because she was already well known. While everyone else who owns a business hustles till they get to the top. Losing all their money, friends ect.
Being born rich doesn't take any of this away from her! You people need to stop putting down somebody's story down because "not everyone else has the same one", this is ridiculous. There are hundreds of man and woman who ARE born rich and do nothing to make anything out of it, it should be celebrate that she just struggled to do something FOR HER and getting out of her family's wings. She was born in a rich family, what could she do to change that? NOTHING. Is this her fault then? No. There are poor people that work hard and build many things also, as well as poor people that don't. Every story matter! You people need to stop being hateful towards a person YOU don't even know deeply just because she did not acomplished things by the standards YOU think are ok. Girls/Boys, TAKE INSPIRATION OUT OF THIS, DON'T BECOME BITTER. Congratulations Kylie, for being a strong woman, for building something that's yours! My life isvery different than yours, but yes I can get SO MUCH inspiration from this. I know you'll never see this, but I hope you only take the love out of everything you do, not the hate. God bless you!
Yes she wasn’t born rich but how many rich socialites do we know that can flip the brick the way she did. She literally took what she was known for and made a billion-dollar business. I don’t want to compare but, we all know celebrity children born into money who haven’t been able to get on the cover of Forbes. So credit has to be given, obviously it isn’t as big of a jump as Oprah yes. But it’s a huge jump and done so well from young. stats don’t lie so give credit where due
To the people complaining that she didnt "start from the bottom" (which isnt the basis for self made) . Yes she didnt start from the bottom and she had the resources, guidance, connections and information but that does not invalidate her as a self made entrepreneur. She owns 100% of Kylie Cosmetics which she started with HER OWN capital which she made from the TV show, brand deals, appearances and what not. Shes not living off her family's fortune anymore and has not since she was 14. People like her are born with unfair advantages but thats life. Its how you make use of those advantages that matter and I applaud her for taking the bull by the horns and making a name for herself. She could have easily just ended up like her brother Rob but she didn't.
Asa Asura looool her mom is her manager. 10% commission she takes. She is and will continue to earn from the episodes of Keeping Up since she is a regular. Also, stop trying to dismiss people discussing how she made herself a millionaire. It's easy to double money when you're born with it. Rob is not all about image and doesn't have his mother's backing as much as the others.
every manager is going to take 10%. it's better for her that it's her mother than somebody else that might take 15 or even 20%. at least she can trust her. and yes it's easier to double money when you have it but you can not knock this girl's hustle. she's been in business for 3 years and already has jay z money ( THAT TOOK HIM 20 YEARS ). Rob had the same advantages that she had but he is a lazy bum. he don't have to be about image to put his resources to work on something he loves. he CHOSE to live off the family name and that's why his mother doesn't back him like the others. STOP HATING!
It's just as easy to lose your dam money chasing volatile but easy investment opportunities like crypto. Crypto is a huge example of what people have done with the money they have wanted so long and said that they would use to be big.
Nia A I didnt dismiss anyone I just laid out the facts , once she made enough money from the show and all her other business ventures she started her cosmetics company take it or leave it
The Kardashian / Jenner clan is great, they may have started in a wrong way but they knew how to enjoy their 15 minutes of fame and turn it into an empire, the true truth is that they are strong women who make their own money and do not need no man to support themselves, they do not care what they say, while others talk, they are making money
Real boxing Fan1 we all agree that money is not everything but at this moment she is alive and building her own empire alone, she has the right to choose how she wants to live this life if she wants to make money so nobody can say anything about
Real boxing Fan1 I did not say you said that, I simply commented because this article is about money and business so it does not make sense to say that "money is not everything" in an article where money is the key point of assumption
So isn't she the child of a celebrity? It's pretty easy to be successful when you can ride the coattails of your famous relatives and use their money and connections to build your business. I guess I'm sorta glad for her but it's hard to celebrate the success of someone who was literally given everything and only had to show up and smile.
Why are you laughing? Do you have $900m? We all can learn from her...or not. People who choose to mock her success clearly have no knowledge of the difficulties that are prevalent in startups. Her success could very well have been otherwise. I don’t know her personally but she seems very driven and clearly has certain goals and aspirations. Rather than mock, we all should celebrate. And to all other women who are disparaging Kylie I’ Say this: THIS IS EXACTLY THE REASON WHY MEN CONTROL 90% OF THE WORLD’S ASSETS. Think about that.
There are some strange things: 1) her Cosmetics website has only 1m visits per month while billionaires concurrent sephora has 25m visits per month. 2) 360m$ sale in 2017, 95% from her website because she has a digital business, it would mean that each visit bring 30$ in average, impossible. 3)Her company is private they can provide any revenue they want, KC has 350 employee, its 1m$ revenue/per employee, more than google and microsoft. 4) “self made” 😂😂😂 In the case revenue are true and value is true GOOD JOB but as liars they are and clout chasing they are i wouldnt be surprised to see a 30m$ of revenue instead of 400m$ and a global value of 80m$
Trader Jedi that’s exactly my thought, Forbes has been find not to be a reliable ressources, they don’t base their infos on return tax or any official documents . They grossly inflated the numbers . Maybe she is going to sell shares of her company and wants BIG dollars for it but at the end it’s a scam . Do u even personally know anyone who bought her products ??? I really don’t . Unlike Facebook . Then she never been in school , can’t do math and draw contract : how does she don’t have more employee ... anyway I don’t buy it .
1) Her site has less visitors because the products are limited and sold out really quickly while sephora has a bunch of different brands all together, so there’s more products and they don’t get sold out as fast. I’m pretty sure that during launches of new products her site has a lot more visitors than that.
But she has some craze that's true. I know a girl who bought her lip kits a lot of times and I made fun of her 😂 but tbh I think my friend is happy with those products lol
So, only people who can sing are talented? Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs, Oprah...are they all talentless? Notwithstanding, I’ll take her brand of talent-less anyday. This woman has curated a path that only very few have succeeded at and she did it at only 20 yrs of age. Regardless what we all think about the “self-made” title, no other female in the age bracket can boast of same. Mad props, Kylie!
*"Self made"? Not really, she had a huge jump start, obviously she created the kylie cosmetics but would she had sold out so quick and had so many people buy it if she wasn't a jenner/kardashian family member? She has had great succes and I'm not going to deny that but she wasn't really "self made"*
come on guys .. If she doesn't born with a famous rich family and didn't change her face & body, did she will be famous and successful like now? I don't think so I feel shame because success is tied to things like this, she has no talent and you are all proud of her hahaha like wtf??? and now what? donations until she become billionaire? what about poor people? what about homeless that you can see them everywhere
River why do u have to bring up poor and homeless people here? Is Kylie obliged to feed them? Is it her responsibility? Yet, she does help a lot of kids and donates a lot of things. For sure she has an non-profit organization.
I like the super sad, emotional music playing while kylie jenner talks about her childhood struggle of not being able to find the right lip liner color, lol
They be downgrading the meaning of self made for the people who actually started from a ground up cause she didn't..she already had millions to build her business but gotta give her props cause she started grinding on her own n stoped depending on mommy♡
Look how many other celebrities kids try to do there own thing... Kylie took it and ran with it! This is impressive! I need to get my life together 😩😩😩
Dee2deeLuv uhm... Kylie? Gigi Hadid her sister and brother are models because of their parents. Kendall... Johnny Depp's daughter. Kaia Gruber, Cindy's daughter... They're all models and known cause their parents are known. I see every day girls that could be more successful as Gigi or Kendall but sadly their parents are milionaires so they can't easily have a career.
M P she has a cosmetics brand that people willing spend their money on. She did something. “Didn’t do nothing” Is not correct English, so I said that. So what if she got pregnant young? She’s doing great.

When you call people like this self made you devalue the term for people who actually are.
That's just Forbes doing the loose journalism again; this has happened so many times before like in the case Elizabeth Holmes. They push a story hard cause they want it to be true.
And I am not hating on Kylie at least she did something with her life.
agreed
Yes, self made people don't call their clients "fans"
NUR LUZ love her or hate her, she will soon become a billionaire
flake452 true. No hate tho at kylie. I love her products. But shes not selfmade.
I have the passion, now I need the money.
Zozzy you need the information! Money needs you.
so true. every fkin entrepreneur says the exact same thing . When you finally develop something that is worth offering to the world, people follow you, investments start coming automatically.
Sounds like you need an Idea, and you need to network! Whoever tells you that money is not important is an IDIOT, and you do NEED THE MONEY. How do you think she got so rich, from her ideas LMFAO! if you think that then you might as well join the other Lemmings in this post. She got rich because she had enough money for people to BRING her ideas...... ugh i was gonna keep going but I see its pointless the amount of dumb people in this world frustrates me.
You need a family like kardashian 😂😂Hey Zozzy if you want to be successful then you need to be hardworking and creative 👱
Don't have the passion. Don't have the money. Now I need to freeload.

Her whole work at the meeting - "I like this color, thank you."
Literally
@Hestia Demeter of course u would know that
Honestly can’t see her coming up with a formula or smth
She had infinite funding to start her business. Shes not "self made"
Carlos De La Cerda III not infinite and money she got from keeping up with the Kardashian’s
Carlos De La Cerda III none is self made.
She technically is.
An Mo technically she isn’t. She had a famous family to get her brand out and hundreds of millions to produce her products and her business running, self made is when you come from nothing and build your way up and get your brand out there and make all that money and achieve goals with no boost
There are alot of celebrities with clothing lines, makeup and cosmetic companies and they're not ad successful as Kylie.
How is it self-made if she didn't start from the bottom
anastasia I was thinking the SAME thing. Starting from the bottom up is like living in the projects and becoming a millionaire lol. She started from the top and had lots of help from family and investors to provide money to build the brand I’m sure. Wouldn’t really call that self made. LoL
Whether or not she's self made is relevant. This is an incredible success story.
True. She started from kim's bottom 😂
Alieu Njai yes it is she young and sucessful
Starting from the bottom is thinking of a business and making it SUCCESSFUL. She wasn't born into Kylie Lipkit Empire... She created it....
I dont wanna critisize her or anything but she cant be considered self made...
EXACTLY!!!
She’s a self made billionaire
Even if you criticize...it would be fine
self made hoe if anything, can`t start a bussines with moms millions on the bank and call yourself self made when it turns to billions please.
Marc Maier self made oh that's nothing let one of the Kardashians run for public office everybody will vote for them
Who's here after finding out she lied?😂😂

Meee

No hate to Kylie, but it makes me depressed than this is how today's society defines success.
Weird af don’t get discouraged, I was also peeved when I saw articles calling her self made & asking people what “they were doing with their lives” as if people don’t work 10000times harder than her & her entire family combined...but after looking at it closely I’ve realized it’s most likely all just fluff & propaganda, the kind of propaganda that bought trump his presidency...the kardashians are literally just a manipulative bunch of social climbers
Yes I’m never going to be successful and she’s younger that me.
Grace Bediako Don't be so harsh on yourself. That's what my comment was all about. Society makes everyone who isn't a millionaire and worldwide famous feel like a failure and that's so wrong.
This is one of the many forms of success that society celebrates.
We celebrate doctors finding cures, random acts of heroism, etc.
If you're depressed about people having success with their business then stop watching videos about people finding success with their business.
haha hoho I get very happy hearing about people who start from the beginning, without millions of dollars in their bank accounts and millions of followers for simply existing and find success with their businesses. Kylie is praised so much for being successful when what she did was win the life lottery.
how to become rich:
1. Start with $60m
2. Do something that you love
3. ???
4. Profit
Her mother's fortune is 60 M, so how did she start with 400 M? Have you ever had calculus at school?
MsGatubela007 read it in another comment somewhere. I’ll change it
1. Start with 60M
2. Get another TOKEN loan for 250k
3. Get managers and flunkies to do all the rest whilst you said it was all just you and sit on beaches and sleep with ballers.
money always made money. My home went up 250k in a year, because I had the cash the invest in one million home.
There are many ways money make more money than labor. You can also buy few homes like her and rent all them out and never have to work a day since you hire management companies to do the work. Rarely you have people who got rich from nothing. wealth is generational in many ways not just money. The knowledge your parents gained in capital investment and diversifying etc is also knowledge normal families don't have, which give you a head start. Once you have the capital hire a portfolio manger and they will invest on your behalf The good ones can make you hefty amount however it cost 1 million and up to enter the door with them. That being said, many entitled kids often waste their entire parent's hard work and lose it all. It is also possible one day you woke up and parents are bankrupt meaning you have nothing either. At least she build something and even if it fails she never has to worry ever again if she invest those profit properly. I also buy her make up they are actually pretty good.
I bet if you have $60m you won't even make a quarter what she made. Heck most people would probably getting broke again the next month
I would love a video on Kris Jenner
Heyyybray yeah, she's the one behind all their success
Mythili Rajendra Right! She's the real business mogul. I would want to hear advice from her, no offense Kylie lol
Why isn’t she on Forbes ?
Yeah cuz she definitely is the one who is self made
She is such an enigma. All this time I still don’t know ANYTHING about her journey really, a video on her would be so interesting.
No hate but she is NOT self made 🤦🏽♀️
Forbes really did her a disservice with poor labelling and branding. It should have been sufficient to simply say “Meet the next Billionaires”. Then all ensuing arguments would be moot.
Literally, she is made by a doctor
She’s a self made billionaire. She was born into money but not THAT kind.
Tiana Leyone calm down ✋ that’s ya opinion.
actually, you wouldn't know what she would be@@janelow5144

Enma Enigma cuz kris married Bruce/Caitlyn!
@@qtaro-7097 and gets *richer* right after *the tape*
she said i struggled for a "minute" with finding something to do on my own. i need someone to teach me more about the word " struggling" may be i understand it wrong :D :D
Di iz you should first focus on your grammar. Lol.
The word “struggle” can be used in a negative context, to mean problems and fighting. It is also used on a psychological level to mean having trouble and questions in your mind. When she said she struggled to do something on her own, she meant that she faced some problems deciding what she wanted to do with her life. Saying “struggled for a minute” adds another meaning, that she didn’t face these problems for a long period of time. She recognized her passion and made a business out of it.
Hope this helps.
it is not easy to have a "perfect sister" that almost the same age with you. Before this lip kit thing I always thought Kylie must have been struggled because every one praised Kendall like crazy and she got such an amazing career in modelling. Which is hard for Kylie because physically she doesn't have model material. Struggle is not only about money, especially for someone like Kylie who lives in front of people's eye..
no joke! she was 13 rocking all designer clothes and jewelry with a 20M salary , and they call her self made from being born infront of a camera, like how disgraceful it is for the ones who really started from the bottom. Hollywood is a big crucial lie
Struggle to find something to do in life is not the same struggle as with money. Boy do you even get that words mean diffrent things in diffrent context
It's all because of Kris
* * obviously kris is her mom. Don't your mom support u what u do?
It’s actually because of Robert Kardashian and Oj simpson. The kardashians earned a lil fame because they were aqquintanced of OJ and Nicole. Then after Robert died she married Bruce, and he was a well known Athlete. After that they got the show and Voila, fame.
And also a lil because of Kim. That Sextape boosted their fame even more
Kris is a freaking legend. She changed the game
Did you factor in the fact that her sisters and mom architected something for years while she was a teenager that she was able to walk directly into,that gave her a springboard? That she had the financial capabilities of deploying ungodly amounts of plastic surgery, and all the other variable things that she’s been able to do to create that culture,and that financial benefit?
EDIT: Honestly, I'm more interested in her mother, she is a genius.
Stop pretending her mom didn't build this empire over 10 years. She got some money from her mom, that average people do not have, fans that average people do not have to build this business. On top she doesn't do returns. If that was allowed, I don't think she'd be a "self made billionaire" just yet.
Masifon Ekabua I have no idea
jeremie osbourne Her acknowledging that is not the point. It's the fact that literally she's created through her mother's creation. Is she really self made then? She didn't start from the bottom
Nia A Starting from the bottom or being poor is not the basis to self made. The point is that she made her own money and is not living off her families fortune. Yes she was born rich but she got richer. Paris Hilton who was born richer wasnt anywhere near as successful as her when she was 20
True
R Parker Thank you for such a brilliant explanation
When I see this I think of her wearing 20 cartier bracelets on her hand when she was still a young teen.
stylish section you tell em! She already comes from money from her fam.
stylish section where you from?
Arch croatia,you?
stylish section And what? Paris Hilton came from much more money and didn't succeed like her by light years.
Coming from money and making more money is nothing new. Yeah you can blow your fortune but when you are a multimillionaire and billionaire unless you are a total asshat you should be set for life.
How to be a billionaire:
1) Become famous for simply existing
2)Be admired by millions of impressionable youngsters, who are so obsessed with you and could even spend their money on plain air if it was promoted by you
3)Sell products of cheap quality for very very expensive
4)Have a great team do all the work for you
5)Just post about your business on social media
6)Have everyone praise you for your intelligence, business skills and hard work when all you do is use your last name to get richer and richer
Your point no. 4 actually praised her.....the foundation of any business lies in having great team and this is the biggest challenge of all.....if you can't appreciate don't be so much hateful at least.....
OR JUST GIVE OTHER PPL GUIDES ON "How to be a billionaire" N hate on someone who's successful. That's better.
the quality of her products aren't cheap nor bad
hate all you want but Kris Jenner is one of the smartest businesswomen 🤷♀️

Forbes should put people in the magazine who are inspiring and creative. Those who had to start from zero. And the word used SELF MADE for Kylie is totally wrong. Kylie got rich by showing her figure and a little bit of mommy's money. Forbes grow up and focus on the people who are changing the face of the world and impacting millions of lives.
android droid The real question is how much KRIS JENNER paid Forbes to do this.
Jake Lewis

It rarely that ppl on forbes starts from zero. Even Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg have rich parents .

No sis you turned to lip injections.
Stephanie lol

She started over lining her lips with makeup way before she got the injections.
Stephanie she overlined before injections

Regardless of what public opinion thinks about the Kardashian-Jenners, I actually have mad respect for Kylie. Running a company is super hard, and being successful is even harder. Also, girls gotta support other girls.
hannah joelle yes Amen
They really do. I expected so much excitement from women for a freaking 23 YEAR OLD WOMAN ALMOST BILLIONAIRE. But instead she's getting hate. This is a win for all women and their slandering her for absolutely nothing.

Despite what people say about celebrity kids who already had their empire built for them, if they do end up becoming entrepreneurs, I still admire them because I'm sure at some point when they're famous, you're still going to reach that stage where they go "I want to do what I love, not what what my family has done before me" because they're also humans and want to find something fulfilling. Yes, their parents' or siblings' fame might have helped them gain their income, but to an extent they'll have to start giving their own individual value to their own audience and customers as well, otherwise they wouldn't be able to continue their business growth. Thanks Kylie for being a young entrepreneur. I admire any female entrepreneur. We need more of it in the world. I also love her voice and her composure. So feminine and elegant.
Danniessa yess no one could’ve said this more perfectly🙏🏾🙏🏾
yes she could have just slept and did nothing. But she chose to do something. Not everyone can find motivation to work when things are handed. That is why you have so many bratty rich second generation.
LoOoL Yes I agree because that is what’s supposed to happen when you start a business. Everyone starts a business FOR that reason. For income to keep flowing in and to have more freedom to do what they want and live the life of their dreams rather than work 9 to 5 in an office (which is fine depending on your preferences).
The statement "Yes, their parents' or siblings' fame might have helped them gain their income" is very important. Although I agree that you should do what you want in life. I get so sick of people praising these people as entrepreneurs when they are so far from it. So this is how it works these people get sat down in a room with the people who actually CREATE the ideas. They don't come up with anything and they create absolutely nothing. The leg work is not done by them and half of them couldn't tell you how to start a lemonade stand. You think Dr Dre sat in a room and made Beats? Hell no he didn't and I'm not knocking him or any other celebrity but having money GIVEN to you to invest does not make you an entrepreneur. Is she smart for investing in a hot product yes, was she a vital part in the success of the business HELL NO. She had CAPITAL and that's what gave her what she has not leadership skills or crowdfunding or money management. I don't understand why this is such a big deal other than she is famous. She could have started a store selling farts but none of that would come from here entrepreneurial skills. Not saying she shouldn't be admired, just not as a Entrepreneur because she is far from it.
Adriana Acosta thank you! I love female and young entrepreneurs nonetheless
The fact that she did this photo shoot in her mum’s million dollar house and office sums up her success perfectly
exactly HER MOM'S not HER'S house
Because she wants to give her mom credit. Her mom most likely helped with the biggest responsibilities in the business or pushed her to deal with them on her own but with a bit of help. Who knows what the deets are!?, but she clearly stated how her mom helped a lot
Im so glad she removed her lip fillers.

Gabriel right. From super rich to super duper rich. That's all she did.
maybe this list should be called from rich kid to billionaire. Instead of self-made billionaire, I think people that had nothing, no fame, no money are the ones that should be called "self made" billionaire.
Although given the opportunities, not many rich kids have the dedication, focus and fire to start something on their own, bc most are too comfortable with their parents’ money. So props to her!

Lol she's not fucking self made...she made makeup, sure (with backing from her rich family) that wouldn't even have sold if it weren't for her famous family...she would 100% not be able to do what she did without her family...I think she should acknowledge that more.
JJGalz she did acknowledge her mom who was the one that built the wealth people always say it was Kim but kris started as an air hostess and built an empire and kylie is the only One to take it further for only one generation of wealth it’s still amazing

elisabeth fors - what you're passionate about has to be something you're also good at if you want to be paid for it. Just because you're passionate about it doesn't mean you are going to be good at it.
elisabeth fors and to have a rich family
It's a huge privilege to be able to choose to a job based on passion. The majority of the world doesn't get that luxury, most of us are doing whatever we can just to get by.
Questions:
How did she even know HOW to actually make her own makeup at 19?
Doesn't that take like lots of science and knowledge of cosmetic chemistry?
Where did she get the money to start?
Did SHE actually do all the hiring?
Where is her company located?
just isn't adding up here....
Jeremy Murray, The fact that she already come's from a family of attention whore's who have money I'd say it's a strong hint that that's where she got the backing to get started! Her money hungry mom backed her & got the right people to help Kylie put all this together! Wish they would disappear all together myself!
It all just makes me want to throw up
literally none of the people that own makeup companies actually make the formulas. they just approve them. she put up her own money from other jobs (clothing lines, modeling gigs, brand endorsements, etc). her mom is her manager & business consultant so i’m sure she helped her hire employees. if you read the article her team is actually very small. it’s located in california. it adds up if you take 2 minutes to research.
@@lamb9770 those gigs were given to her because she is part of the Kardashian Clan and NO other reason, she didn't start this herself. He team is famous for stealing designs from hard working independent artist and not paying them anything. Kaylie is no disconnected from the process that she doesn't take any of the hard decisions, every time there is a crisis she says "I don't make the decisions". She is a joke, not a boss.
She hired a lab to create lipstick... that's how cosmetic industry works
1:28 "It's about being honest"
- Said by the one who lied about her billionaire status
'self-made billionaire'? Oh yeah she had millions because of the reality show and made them into billions. Are you kidding me forbes? You advertise this all over your social media and expect people to do what? To relate to her, to praise her or? Cause I can't find any reason why Kylie should be on the cover of forbes
Same here, this is ridiculous.
Forbes need some advartisement haha
the net worth is that of her Lipkit business, the 'billionaire' amount made wasn't influenced by the returns she made of KUWTK.
Jianna Jackson everything she started was influenced by the show, the 100m followers where they are from?
The 30k$ per episode at age of 10 where they are from?
The 250k$ to start the company where they are from?
Billionaire and Self made are two different things.
GOOD JOB for the billion but lets be honnest she doesnt have 150 IQ like zuckerberg or gates, without her family money and show she would have 755 subs on instagram, acnee ugly and working at walmart 24/7
You don't need to have a high IQ to be a billionaire. You just need efficient advisors and a keen business sense. What you especially need, is money. Every entrepreneur needs money obviously. Some will source it from family money, some will get it from savings, others from loanage or government grants...you don't know. Just because Kylie's methods of obtaining money was highly publicised, doesn't mean she was the only billionaire to start with money however grand the amount may be. For example, Bill Gates started with a $200,000 investment in Microsoft as well.
Kylie did have the powerful benefit of advertisement, but that doesn't make her (not) self made, it just puts her in an advantageous position. Stop asking rhetorical questions and answer them yourself rofl you're so badminded.
Not bad for a 100m$ heir raised in a 10m$ house 🤔🤔😀

Turning Millions into Billions isn’t that easy. Selling an image, brand and product that is high in demand is extraordinary. Especially with little advertisement. I haven’t seen one Kylie cosmetics commercial or billboard. This brand is really paving the way for future marketing.
Brody Nola her advertisements are her social media posts where it's broadcasted to millions of her followers. LOL It's just a different type of ad.
cheeses fries how much did those post cost her? Advertising is the most expensive and crucial aspect of a business.
Brody Nola it's free for kylie. it's her profile promoting her own products to her fans. It's only expensive if the brand is using someone else's platforms (tv, billboard, social media) to advertise their product.
cheeses fries that will be the future of marketing is all that I was saying.
Brody Nola I guess... Brand endorsements have been around for decades. Social media is just a new territory for these types of promotions.
Never ever ever tell me that people in finance make too much money when a name and zero technical skills will make you $900M. If no one knew her name from birth she would be working at Starbucks as that is all she can leverage.
Her mother though, well I don't like her but I certainly respect what she has been able to achieve and build throughout her life.
willlasdf123 attention is money
she didn't do anything new, did not invent. all she did was slap her name on something that already existed. i different blend color. gee that was so hard. i hope this isn't the apex of her life.
It's a myth that you need to invent something new to succeed.
joe fitness she’s selling a dream
i think u missed the point. after she's done with all of this, success or not, she will find the she never accomplished anything meaningful to her fellow man. money certainly won't hurt though.
joe fitness - You are perhaps conflating things. If she donates even a portion of that 900 million to charity, she will have accomplished something hugely meaningful to her fellow man; that is a great thing. Your comment seems shortsighted and premature.
She didn't invent, she just innovated.

"Self-made" is a little misleading, me thinks!
Yes she has an advantage of being rich from the beginning (easier to start a business) and fame (basically a free marketing). But it takes much more for a business to worth almost a billion dollar in just 2 years. She knows what she’s doing and it works. Much respect for Kylie and her mom.
andre dwi it takes retarded young people who eat laundry detergent and look up to jake paul.
andre dwi oh c'mon... whe was known before and she used social media (and her milion followers) to sell. That's easy when you're already known.
Blue Girl not really, michelle phan was pretty popular and her make up line flopped. Kim K has more followers than kylie but her kkw beauty valued ‘only’ 100 million dollars in a year, which is quite phenomenal but nowhere near kylie cosmetics.
All I’m saying is its not easy to run a business to this level of success, fame does help but only in the beginning. And she deserved the credit for achieving that in short period of time.
andre dwi I’m sorry did you not see Kylie’s CONSTANT advertising on social media, and her PR going to beauty gurus and her MILLIONS of fans? Kylie’s one thing is her makeup line. That’s what her thing is in her family. Kim tried to have a makeup line but everyone knew that makeup wasn’t Kim’s passion. Plus Kylie’s constantly coming out with new products (which aren’t even that good). So yes it was easy for Kylie. She inherited millions of dollars, fame, and huge fan base. She didn’t do it herself. Therefore, not self made.
andre dwi Google the definition 'self made'.... you proved in your first sentence she's *not* it lol
*we love a hardworking sHisTAr*
Oh, so she works?

Pleaseee let this be top comment I'm peeing
MsGatubela007 ik MANAGEMENT hun
I was feeling really proud of her until I remembered her company screwed over so many creators by not paying for their labour or cheating them. The fashion industry is the sickest, built on the cheap labour and workers.
yup that's how it works. Rich make money of poor. always has been that way.
I like "self made" she sold lipstick based off of her fake lips. No lipstick will give you that look. You need 37 surgical procedures , Botox, and injections. A surgeon made her then her sisters and famous dad paid her.
this is beauty and cosmetics industry though, fashion is clothes and accesories
Any proofs to back your claim? Or are you just another jealous person trying to bring her down?
THIS IS AMERICA!!!!
She really does have a different vibe about her after having a child. She seems more confident and for the first time she looks genuinely happy.
No , I wouldn’t call her self-made ... but she took advantage of the resources she had in front of her and made something of herself. I can respect that.
People are being so bitter in this comment section.. About her family helping her, having being born in a multi million family and so on.. I just want to ask.. How many millionaire kids do something on their own apart from inheriting their property? How many known celeb kids build up on their ideas to make it prosperous? Like yes fame helped her but she didn't just sit and rely on the fame. She used it to better herself! Im not really into makeup and all but I like her determination. Just pray for someone's uplifting then you can also go up.
most of them actually.
Of course Kylie's having fun everyday, she probably only does the fun parts of the job. I mean good on her for making something out of her fame, but she didn't have to put in the work or really do anything for the company to succeed. I highly doubt she replies to dozens of boring emails or has ever handled the company's finances. She has paid people to do it from the very beginning. No blood, sweat, and tears like most people have to go through to get a business running. No hate to Kylie, it'ss not her fault that she was handed wealth and fame. I'd love to see a "Day in the Life" though because from the outside, it looks like she does nothing but play with make up.
Anna Guerra so what if she didnt? at least she’s working unlike half of you all. leave her alone and mind yall business.
@Jamie Odonnell you went a bit too far with this, don't ya think?
That’s what you call “make money work for you instead of working for money”
Yeah she never had to be homeless for spending all her life savings on her “business” she never went through anything because she was already well known. While everyone else who owns a business hustles till they get to the top. Losing all their money, friends ect.
Kris Jenner worked hard for her kids and made them rich and famous
Wouldn't you want to do that to
Being born rich doesn't take any of this away from her! You people need to stop putting down somebody's story down because "not everyone else has the same one", this is ridiculous. There are hundreds of man and woman who ARE born rich and do nothing to make anything out of it, it should be celebrate that she just struggled to do something FOR HER and getting out of her family's wings. She was born in a rich family, what could she do to change that? NOTHING. Is this her fault then? No. There are poor people that work hard and build many things also, as well as poor people that don't. Every story matter! You people need to stop being hateful towards a person YOU don't even know deeply just because she did not acomplished things by the standards YOU think are ok. Girls/Boys, TAKE INSPIRATION OUT OF THIS, DON'T BECOME BITTER.
Congratulations Kylie, for being a strong woman, for building something that's yours! My life isvery different than yours, but yes I can get SO MUCH inspiration from this. I know you'll never see this, but I hope you only take the love out of everything you do, not the hate. God bless you!
Ana Karolina Mourão oh shut up
THANK YOU!
Ana Karolina Mourão faxxx
Finally a good positive comment:)
Ana Karolina Mourão this seems like a howler from Harry Potter xD
Let me quote Kandi: "The Lies, The Lies!"
Yes she wasn’t born rich but how many rich socialites do we know that can flip the brick the way she did. She literally took what she was known for and made a billion-dollar business. I don’t want to compare but, we all know celebrity children born into money who haven’t been able to get on the cover of Forbes.
So credit has to be given, obviously it isn’t as big of a jump as Oprah yes. But it’s a huge jump and done so well from young. stats don’t lie so give credit where due
Exactly!
period.
To the people complaining that she didnt "start from the bottom" (which isnt the basis for self made) . Yes she didnt start from the bottom and she had the resources, guidance, connections and information but that does not invalidate her as a self made entrepreneur. She owns 100% of Kylie Cosmetics which she started with HER OWN capital which she made from the TV show, brand deals, appearances and what not. Shes not living off her family's fortune anymore and has not since she was 14. People like her are born with unfair advantages but thats life. Its how you make use of those advantages that matter and I applaud her for taking the bull by the horns and making a name for herself. She could have easily just ended up like her brother Rob but she didn't.
Asa Asura looool her mom is her manager. 10% commission she takes. She is and will continue to earn from the episodes of Keeping Up since she is a regular. Also, stop trying to dismiss people discussing how she made herself a millionaire. It's easy to double money when you're born with it. Rob is not all about image and doesn't have his mother's backing as much as the others.
every manager is going to take 10%. it's better for her that it's her mother than somebody else that might take 15 or even 20%. at least she can trust her. and yes it's easier to double money when you have it but you can not knock this girl's hustle. she's been in business for 3 years and already has jay z money ( THAT TOOK HIM 20 YEARS ). Rob had the same advantages that she had but he is a lazy bum. he don't have to be about image to put his resources to work on something he loves. he CHOSE to live off the family name and that's why his mother doesn't back him like the others. STOP HATING!
It's just as easy to lose your dam money chasing volatile but easy investment opportunities like crypto. Crypto is a huge example of what people have done with the money they have wanted so long and said that they would use to be big.
Nia A I didnt dismiss anyone I just laid out the facts , once she made enough money from the show and all her other business ventures she started her cosmetics company take it or leave it
Nia A kris doesn’t take any commission from Kylie Cosmetics though
The Kardashian / Jenner clan is great, they may have started in a wrong way but they knew how to enjoy their 15 minutes of fame and turn it into an empire, the true truth is that they are strong women who make their own money and do not need no man to support themselves, they do not care what they say, while others talk, they are making money
Real boxing Fan1 we all agree that money is not everything but at this moment she is alive and building her own empire alone, she has the right to choose how she wants to live this life if she wants to make money so nobody can say anything about
Real boxing Fan1 I did not say you said that, I simply commented because this article is about money and business so it does not make sense to say that "money is not everything" in an article where money is the key point of assumption
Real boxing Fan1 man? Just let her enjoy this moment and stop questioning things so much.
Real boxing Fan1 It may have been a mistake, but that does not shoot her merit at all, so let's just put it aside.
Real boxing Fan1 Ok lol
So isn't she the child of a celebrity? It's pretty easy to be successful when you can ride the coattails of your famous relatives and use their money and connections to build your business. I guess I'm sorta glad for her but it's hard to celebrate the success of someone who was literally given everything and only had to show up and smile.
Thank you !!!
*Imagine her bank account in 40 years*
Self-made? 😂👌
iGnarly Yeah right?
Why are you laughing? Do you have $900m? We all can learn from her...or not. People who choose to mock her success clearly have no knowledge of the difficulties that are prevalent in startups. Her success could very well have been otherwise. I don’t know her personally but she seems very driven and clearly has certain goals and aspirations. Rather than mock, we all should celebrate. And to all other women who are disparaging Kylie I’ Say this: THIS IS EXACTLY THE REASON WHY MEN CONTROL 90% OF THE WORLD’S ASSETS. Think about that.
Bibi J Issa joke quit being so sensitive. Jeez 🤦🏾♀️
@@ignarly3583 k no. some stuff aren't funny?
Yeeessss, she did it by herself
To think how many kids she could feed and clothe blows my mind.
rachelle mountfort lol what.... there’s many richer than her, tell them to do that
Ozymandias I know there are, I just happened to see this video and comment on it.
Dr. Dan Bigs yep she does it’s crazy right.
And how do you know she hasn’t fed kids/ provided clothes in third world counties??
rachelle mountfort Nahh.... she will never do that if no camera point at her.
There are some strange things:
1) her Cosmetics website has only 1m visits per month while billionaires concurrent sephora has 25m visits per month.
2) 360m$ sale in 2017, 95% from her website because she has a digital business, it would mean that each visit bring 30$ in average, impossible.
3)Her company is private they can provide any revenue they want, KC has 350 employee, its 1m$ revenue/per employee, more than google and microsoft.
4) “self made” 😂😂😂
In the case revenue are true and value is true GOOD JOB but as liars they are and clout chasing they are i wouldnt be surprised to see a 30m$ of revenue instead of 400m$ and a global value of 80m$
Trader Jedi that’s exactly my thought, Forbes has been find not to be a reliable ressources, they don’t base their infos on return tax or any official documents . They grossly inflated the numbers . Maybe she is going to sell shares of her company and wants BIG dollars for it but at the end it’s a scam .
Do u even personally know anyone who bought her products ??? I really don’t . Unlike Facebook .
Then she never been in school , can’t do math and draw contract : how does she don’t have more employee ... anyway I don’t buy it .
1) Her site has less visitors because the products are limited and sold out really quickly while sephora has a bunch of different brands all together, so there’s more products and they don’t get sold out as fast. I’m pretty sure that during launches of new products her site has a lot more visitors than that.
Trader Jedi each lip kit is almost $30 so yes quite possible
Trader Jedi So true ...
But she has some craze that's true. I know a girl who bought her lip kits a lot of times and I made fun of her 😂 but tbh I think my friend is happy with those products lol
She has more than Beyonce and Adele, and she's not even talented. Them lipstick has been a blessing for her.
Adele doesn’t do concerts frequently so yeah....
So, only people who can sing are talented? Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs, Oprah...are they all talentless? Notwithstanding, I’ll take her brand of talent-less anyday. This woman has curated a path that only very few have succeeded at and she did it at only 20 yrs of age. Regardless what we all think about the “self-made” title, no other female in the age bracket can boast of same. Mad props, Kylie!
Bini you're dumb. Props to what? She had big jump from start.If she actually started from 2k-3k and becamse billionaire then it'dbe mad props.
I'm so proud of Kylie...she's done so well for herself at 20
Kylie Jenner, you are my one of my biggest inspirations
First time for my life seeing Kylie wear full clothes
*"Self made"? Not really, she had a huge jump start, obviously she created the kylie cosmetics but would she had sold out so quick and had so many people buy it if she wasn't a jenner/kardashian family member? She has had great succes and I'm not going to deny that but she wasn't really "self made"*
Hmmmm I wonder how it only took her 3 years. Maybe cus her mom, family, popularity, and money
come on guys .. If she doesn't born with a famous rich family and didn't change her face & body, did she will be famous and successful like now? I don't think so
I feel shame because success is tied to things like this, she has no talent and you are all proud of her hahaha like wtf???
and now what? donations until she become billionaire? what about poor people? what about homeless that you can see them everywhere
NO HATE.. just an opinion
River why do u have to bring up poor and homeless people here? Is Kylie obliged to feed them? Is it her responsibility? Yet, she does help a lot of kids and donates a lot of things. For sure she has an non-profit organization.
Read my comment again and you will understand what did i said @Maria Sophia
Kylie:I am a billionare
Forbes: it was all a lie!
Even if she has 900 million dollars or 1 billion dollars. That doesn't change anything. She is still rich. Lmao.
You go girl 👏🏻
Her two mothers must be proud .
Traversable mgtow lol
😂
her voice would be very calming if it wasn't for that whistling sound in some pronunciations
am i the only one thinking this????
nikiwasnthere Yeah, it’s annoying
I like the super sad, emotional music playing while kylie jenner talks about her childhood struggle of not being able to find the right lip liner color, lol
Huge respect to Kris and Kylie. She could've pulled a Rob but instead she chose to do something with her life
This is sad.
She didn't give credit to Kim 😱🤔
Chris Tashi for what? Kim got her own makeup line.
+brody nola for the fact that her sex tape made the whole family famous?
Chris Tashi 😂
Brody Nola Kim and Kris are the reason the family has got what it has now
Brody Nola she could have said she was following Kim instruction
I love how she gave her mom the credit for some of the success in her business. She’s very humble🙏🏾
They be downgrading the meaning of self made for the people who actually started from a ground up cause she didn't..she already had millions to build her business but gotta give her props cause she started grinding on her own n stoped depending on mommy♡
En un futuro estaré en la revista Forbes
She's nowhere near to being 'self - made.' Give credit to people who actually work for their rewards. This is disgusting.
Look how many other celebrities kids try to do there own thing... Kylie took it and ran with it! This is impressive! I need to get my life together 😩😩😩
Dee2deeLuv uhm... Kylie?
Gigi Hadid her sister and brother are models because of their parents.
Kendall... Johnny Depp's daughter.
Kaia Gruber, Cindy's daughter...
They're all models and known cause their parents are known.
I see every day girls that could be more successful as Gigi or Kendall but sadly their parents are milionaires so they can't easily have a career.
Good for her but she didn't do nothing 😉👍
Cruz R anything*^
M P she has a cosmetics brand that people willing spend their money on. She did something. “Didn’t do nothing” Is not correct English, so I said that. So what if she got pregnant young? She’s doing great.
Ash Ting it wasn't her idea, if she did anything it's making post on social media which any brain dead wacko can do
M P are you joking rn you're disgusting
"Started with 700 Million now we up"
The best prank ever.
