Forbes released its annual World’s Billionaire’s list on Tuesday, valuring Kylie Jenner’s beauty empire, Kylie Cosmetics, at a little over a billion dollars. Making her, once again, the world’s youngest billionaire.
Back in 2019, Kylie made headlines (no surprise there) when she was named the world’s youngest self-made billionaire, at twenty-one, by Forbes, beating Mark Zuckerberg who had made his first billion when he was twenty-three.
And what a riot that caused. The world was divided by the now infamous controversial word: self-made.
