list of richest Americans on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of how self-made they were. Based on that scale, someone who inherited everything scores a 1, while someone who not only grew up poor but also experienced substantial hardships - like Oprah Winfrey – scores a 10. Kylie Jenner, who comes from a wealthy family and who has leveraged her fame to her advantage, ranks a 7.has given each of the 60 members of the 2018 Richest Self-Made Women list a self-made score.
Below is an explanation of the self-made scores from 6 to 10, with an example of someone from the list who received that score:
With that logic, realDonaldTrump turning a $1 million loan into a $3.1 billion empire is just as self-made. Yet his score is a 4? 🤔
you know its bad when a dictionary roasts you
Yeah sure Forbes you can keep trying to change the meaning of self made because you’re clearly the authority on credibility...but nobody will ever think of self-made stories & think of Kylie Jenner, try as you might
💩
Guillotine, anyone?
If your definition of self-made is 'has wealthy family made wealthier because said family got a vapid TV show and your sisters only skill was to have sex on camera' then sure. I'm sure it was a real struggle. Oh and let's not forget this
I think I have been taught wrongly all my life about the phrase 'self made '
Next article: Why texting is indeed 'safe' for driving: sarcasm
Umm, no...she isn't.
Well here it is. When Forbes became TMZ.
You seem kinda defensive 😬
Doubling down heh?
She grew up in a 20 million dollar mansion drove a 250k vehicle while in high school . Business doors were wide open for her to walk in. Free access at everything available God blessed her but how is she self made ?
There was legit a controversy about Kendall having her career handed to her, no one calls her a self-made model. Why? Because she’s not self-made, neither is Kylie. Great successes, just not self-made.
your definition of self-made and mine are clearly different.
So she's 'self-made' because you define the term so broadly that it's rendered virtually meaningless. Cool. Coolcoolcool.
Nice try... but no. In fact it so much worse for the story to call her self-made. She has accomplished so much and its impressive, no doubt, but she is not self made, and it is even offensive to compare her with Zuckerberg who changed social interactions forever. Shame on u.
no, she’s not self made. First of all her family have the money and the contacts to start a business like that, anyone normal would have to work very hard and for a long time to get the money and the contacts to do this. Sorry Kylie
She was born into fame, born into fortune and without either one of those, her company wouldn’t have rocketed off so quickly! I completely disagree. Yes, she started her business by herself but at least some of its success is due to the fact she was born famous and born rich
self-made hahaha NO!!!
Whatever ...
i think that kylie even doesnt want to disagree about this article about her where they call her ”self-made”. i hope that the world and all of the younger generations will understand that this is not being a self made billionare!
Sounds about white
Self-Made is accurate if it’s referring to the plastic surgeries.
SHE IS NOT SELF MADE 🤣
Duh she’s a kardashian
Ridiculous
I hear an echo of Obama saying 'you didn't build that'. Waiting for BO to claim credit for her success....
Let's not forget the real MVP who made her and her family famous: 👏
Wow doubling down Forbes? This is offensive to people who worked from nothing for what they have. Haven't we gone over this? Self-made: Having succeeded in life unaided.
Not self-made but very successful nonetheless. Congratulations KylieJenner !
Self-made by Kris Jenner you mean?
Hey , A rich person becoming richer is not a success. A homeless person becoming rich, now that is a success. Are you seriously comparing Oprah's story to Kylie's? Kylie was in Showbiz even before she learnt how to walk... She was born in wealth!
We're still on this...
Not convinced with your definition of 'self-made' for her. It was her mother who used only her(Kylie) face or Lip fame to get her money. That's it. Kylie did nothing in it.
Might wan do your research abit more thoroughly 🤦🏻♀️
'Self made' eh? More fake news? Now financial fake news? She is as 'self made' as a 'self made' frozen pizza from Walmart. No wonder I got rid of my subscription! 😂😂😂 KylieJenner
self made Forbes, you on some crack i swear
I cannot wait to read how you try to justify this.... brb.
No billionaire is self made
The fucking stubbornness. I sense in the air a panel of mostly white men.
Doubling down doesn’t work when Dictionarycom is your opponent....
When you need to explain why you are in fact 'self made' 😂😂
Forbes seems too stubborn to defend this claim 😂
Over to you piersmorgan
This is possibly the stupidest thing I’ve ever read online and that’s really saying something
How much is she and her mom paying you?
She's indeed successful and bless her for it, but she is NOT 'self-made' being born into a family of wealth and privilege to assist in her biz ventures. Come on, now. Nothing wrong w/her success; she worked hard for it, but she owes some of it to her mother and KimK.
🤯🧐😑
She isn’t
no
This rebuttal article is still BS, Forbes, smh.
WRONG. Look at JeffreeStar and then look at Kylie. Jeffree is 110% self made. Kylie is NOT. Stops defending it.
🤔🙄
So many hater who don't understand that self-made does not mean going it alone
Me too, me too!! I’m a billionaire. Well I don’t have the money but by my definition if I wake feeling like I am. Then that makes me one.
You’re not listening. Not even to your own advice. Perhaps you should confine your articles to business and let the erudite define words. When rewriting definitions for amusement, I suggest you submit those to urbandictionary.
Oh no she isn’t, she’s just another face of the Jenner/Kardashian’s global empire. Get real.
Yep right! I believe you now 🤔🧐. I think you guys should be doing research about true entrepreneurship. There are many people working so hard to be a successful entrepreneur. But they do not your attention.
So, this article is explaining how we missed your point. But really, you are missing the point...still.
Teeeeaaaaaaa
Wow I'm legit shocked that people care about an irrelevant English phrase. She's a billionaire!
Lies. Off the backs of others.
They are still trying to prove their point....
“Self-made” my ass
Great
What do you mean by “self-made”?
yea if we are all creating definitions then anything can be anything thus anyone can be self-made 🤦♀️
I hate this part of journalism. You've got to cover shit stories that a larger population follows in order to have the good stories that a relatively smaller part of the population does. It's just sad.
Your definition of “self made” is so wrong it’s offensive.
“Media-made”
Didn’t have anything to do with being on a TV broadcast did it? Just leaving out the poor broadcastuhs and marketing assistance TV is the only reason I know who you are
Preparing to die on this hill apparently
A little defensive about being taken to school, huh?
Cause your on her family payroll ?
Ah so you're sticking to this story. Good, good
