Kylie Jenner is back on the offensive. 🎤

Forbes

In a recent interview with Who What Wear, the 29-year-old entrepreneur once again defended her title as “self-made billionaire”, the label Forbes gave her in 2019 when it named her the world’s youngest self-made billionaire thanks to Kylie Cosmetics. Her statement was direct: “None of the income I have generated is inherited, so technically it’s true”.

But she didn’t stop there. She also acknowledged something few celebrities admit out loud: “people feel that the privilege I had was an important springboard”. For her, not receiving money from Kris and Caitlyn Jenner after the age of 15 is proof that she built everything on her own. For her critics, being born a Jenner already meant winning the lottery before getting started. Can you be self-made when your last name opens every door? 💸
