Twitter Reacts to Kylie Jenner Becoming the Youngest Self-Made Billionaire

What were you doing with your life in the past three years? For Kylie Jenner, she was creating a cosmetic empire. Earlier today, Forbes dropped a bombshell in form of a cover story on the soon-to-be youngest "self-made" billionaire. Let that sink in. Kylie Cosmetics launched two years ago with a $29 "lip kit" consisting of a matching set of lipstick and lip liner, and has sold more than $630 million worth of makeup since, including an estimated $330 million in 2017, according to Forbes. Since adding other cosmetics like eye shadow and concealer, Forbes values her company at nearly $800 million. Jenner owns 100% of it. Add this with her Puma and PacSun endorsement's, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians show, and other ventures, she's conservatively worth $900 million. With Kylie making headlines for other reasons including giving birth to her and Travis Scott's first daughter, and more recently getting rid of her lip fillers, fans were completely unaware that the cosmetic queen was becoming one of the richest women in the America. Here's how Twitter is reacting to the huge news. Kylie Jenner is worth more than Beyoncé. Hey. — Vanjie 🇰🇪 (@Shiku_K) July 11, 2018 Kylie Jenner age 21 with $900 million!! Trevin McClora age 27 over here hoping my manager let me off next week! At this point he might have to square up if he says no. — 2_3Zone (@TrevinMcClora) July 11, 2018 Kylie Jenner paid a couple hundred dollars to get her lips done. Then she made 8.7 million off selling a cosmetic lip kit then got her lips removed. And that is how you flip a brick. — plantain papi (@chugsnation619) July 9, 2018 Kylie Jenner is on the track to become the youngest self-made billionaire EVER!

Honour the women and men who started with nothing and made billions . The real entrepreneurs who literally had nothing and made it. — Tom Hinds 🇦🇪 (@ThomasHinds86) July 11, 2018 Self made billionare? Dont want to sound rude?? She was rich?? The kid borns witha golden spoon in her mouth, already a celbrity kid, used her brain to double the million she already had in her pocket. You know the meaning of self made??the one who starts from zero, from nothing — ehddah (@ehhdah) July 11, 2018 calling kylie jenner a 'self-made billionaire' is like claiming you made soup from scratch because you opened a can and reheated it. — gulab jamun (@PedestrianPoet) July 11, 2018 kylie jenner's "self-made" empire is almost as funny as donald trump's "small loan of 1 million dollars" — james (@phan1om_) July 11, 2018 Listen, I by no means hate Kylie Jenner but is it really fair to call any child of a celebrity a "self made millionaire" ? — Cody (@Franklymydear_) July 11, 2018 Is it really fair tho if Kylie Jenner probably started with a couple million before her business? — T A R A (@TAAZAAAAA) July 11, 2018 Forbes calling Kylie Jenner who comes from a rich family a "self made billionaire" is kinda funny. — Thabo™🇭🇷 (@T_Sello) July 11, 2018 Either way you stand regarding Kylie being self-made or not, starting Kylie Cosmetics was a smart business move!
