Kylie Jenner arrives at the Grammy Awards on Feb. 10. By Sonia Rao Sonia Rao Pop culture reporter Email Bio Follow March 5 at 5:20 PM Just as last week’s cheating scandal begins to fade from our collective memory, another KarJenner bombshell hits: Kylie Jenner, the youngest of the clan, has become the youngest billionaire in the world.
For what it’s worth, Forbes noted that it uses “self-made” to describe anyone who didn’t inherit their business or fortune. “But the term is very broad,” the magazine acknowledged, “and does not adequately reflect how far some people have come and, relatively speaking, how much easier others have had it.”
“It’s the power of social media,” Jenner told Forbes, which notes that she boasts more than 175 million followers across Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and Twitter. “I had such a strong reach before I was able to start anything.”
Если актерам платить еще больше то они все миллиардерами станут после первой сьемки.
First, I thought this was a picture of Michael Jackson. Second, FOR WHAT?
This is how that whole family made their money. Classy.
Who?
Really happy for this 😊😊
It's not just the self-made part that's bogus, it's also the 'billionaire' part. According to Forbes, more than 90% of Kylie's net worth is her purported 100% ownership of KylieCosmetics & Forbes' $900M valuation for the company. BUT KylieCosmetics is a privately-held LLC that
Her older sister made a sex tape and then her entire ignoramus family made millions off a stupid reality show and then she became a billionaire. The End.

She obviously blew her way to the top.
Spoiler alert: it’s her last name.
Hope young pple understand that such opportunities will be taken away from them in socialism Except the gov. members , everyone will have just enough to live modestly .Satisfaction of a collective lament is the only perks! Think of your future !
We all know how that family got famous and rich. This is NOT news.
Nepotism?
Because she was born with a golden spoon in her mouth. Easy to make more money when you are born into money and power.
A lack of reasonable inheritance tax...
No one cares. Sick of that entire family. Gag n puke.
PLEASE STOP GIVING THESE PEOPLE ANY COVERAGE. I DONT PAY A SUBSCRIPTION FOR THIS FAMILY AND THEIR “NEWS”.
She couldn't make the cut as a Top Model like her sister, so mommy helped to start her business...
The dumbing down of society and the proliferation and importance of social media marketing - article down.
I can tell you how!With a brain!!,something you liberals don’t have!
She still will be judged by the Most High how she accumalated it many ppl trick other & oppressed ppl to reach that goal
Is that Michael Jackson?
Calling her a self-made millionaire is laughable!
This is what is wrong with America. A manufactured billionaire that supports the vacuous dreams of millennials want something for nothing, riding the coattails of famous parents, devoid of substance and talent. Disgusting.
With the help from her mommy
So what? Nobody cares! Making money is a worthless, empty pursuit.
Just another self proclaimed self-made billionaire coming from money and fame. What a joke
Maybe shes born w it.
Going for the supermarket tabloid crowd? Seems an actual news article might have mentioned the tax inequities between rich and poor, the body dismorphia built on beauty products empires, or the workers exploited to make the products. Wealth isn’t created it’s stolen.
Seriously what did she do but be born & have a sister with no scruples & let a personal video tape become her family’s claim to fame. Not one of them has the sense God Gave a Clam.
A low bar for what's worth paying for... that's how.
She had instant name recognition, an established money flow, a built in team pushing her stuff, a TV show already in progress, a family that thrives on publicity...self made? Self made is a kid at a lemonade stand saving pennies to buy a bigger stand.
By having rich parents...
How we don’t give a shit.
Thank you for not saying “self-made.” There’s nothing “self-made” about this girl! She took her part of the family money and made a wise investment in creating this company!
I do Not Care
She was born into massive wealth and celebrity. There. “Mystery” solved.
_13thofmay I’d rather not read this.
Number 6 will amaze you!
She came from money. It was a remarkable climb.
She has rich and “famous” family. THAT was a short story.
She was born with every advantage? Not interested.
Because Having Money isn’t the same as Having A Brain. Vacuous
“America”, where billionaires are self-made and poverty is for losers. Their god favors only the perfect.
by being born ?
Started with 9,999,999? 🙄
She inherited great wealth? Seriously wtf?
Pretty much symbolizes the crappy thing we have become.
Split second, thought this as Michael Jackson in this pic 😩
This isn't a mystery, she was born affluent.
1. be born rich 2. do anything for attention and fame - the monetized variety, of course. SelfMadeMyAss
If Trump is a billionaire, anyone can become one. Go forth and billionaire. Just pay your fair share of taxes.
And this is what's wrong with America
Because people are dumb enough to buy her products.
By being born a millionaire
OJ got a murderer off, Kim is famous because of Paris Hilton and then her mom publishes her sexy ape making her a “household name” and then they all get a tv show because of it. Self made my ass
'How Kylie Jenner became the youngest billionaire in the world' Her mom posted sex tapes online, got famous for it, and Kylie rode the coat-tails of her mother's name/fame. Does that make her bad? No, good for her. Is she self-made like Zuckerburg? No.
her sister made a sex tape and her mother has no soul.
A platform from her family and mediocre cosmetics?
I honestly don’t care!!
Why is this a thing. I can’t believe people still care about the Kardashians.🤦🏼♀️
Cuz of her 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑”boooooooty”
She was born into money and fame.
By not being ‘self-made’...🤷🏽♀️
Who?
Being sister to a woman with an infamous sex tape + being from a rich family + stupid reality show + cultural appropriation = youngest billionaire!
wow she is rich...who cares? This is not news.
Probably being born rich didn’t hurt. The rich keep getting richer.
Be born to unearned, undeserved wealth springing from ridiculous notions of shallow, focused media fame?
because of geometry and math!) She knows that the sum of the inner angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.. if you do not believe, you can ask her)))
I now know a whole lot more about the Jenner/Kardashians than any human being should be forced to know. Thank you very much. I must now retire to the restroom.
Not everyone is born with a silver Spoon in their mouth
“Self made” 😂
Nepotism
Step one: be born lucky and rich
By getting donate from her mother and from other people 😇
Geez. And people lose their shut over $15/hour minimum wage...
So! Haha got you.
Maybe Warren can use her in the next Robinhood speech
No oppressed females here. Go capitalism!
enough of this my god
Who cares?
Only because she's a Kardashian. She's not self made.
No, not self made. Cashing in on the family name just like IvankaTrump
How Flint still doesn’t have drinking water.
🤮🤮🤮
Easy, just sold jer immortal soli to devil
She isn't self made. We need to stop saying she is.
All facts.
More like self-fabricated.
Looking forward to her 10 morning tips so I can be the same.
way better lede than forbes
Gee, young people. If this is the best you can do, then maybe you deserve climate change, student debt and the social security obligations of your elders. With great stupidity comes great suffering.
Because idiots.
John_Scotus I...don't...care.
Cuz she put her name on something?
She could also help save the planet when she partner's with JoiScientific working with NB_Power, MarineMax, Passamaquoddy's Tribe, & in France.
STEP 1: be born rich
Stupid people have her money.
Self made? Hahahahahahaha
I really don’t care, do you?
Her dad
Stealing ideas?
Maybe because the Washington Post keeps talking about these spoiled brats. It’s funny how democrats get rich more than republicans... how much money did Obama have before then after presidency? About $200Mil. Ya that doesn’t need an investigation (sarcasm about investigation lol)
Every billionaire is a policy failure, but holy shit is this one a doozy.
Who?
Who really cares! Why can't the women in that family keep their clothes on? No not a hater to the trolls! Money can't buy class no matter how much you have!
She came from a rich family
Mommy
Tax her
Who cares?! Why does the Washington Post care? Unless she's using her money to do some good in the world, this is not news.
Thanks to one million workers being under-paid for the past 20 years. .
1) Her dad is Bruce Jenner 2) Her sister made a sex tape & got paid 3) Her mom pimped out her sisters 4) She had sex with adult rappers at 16 and got a rep 5) Her mom paid to have someone design makeup and put Kylie's name on it 6) Had a kid w/T. Scott
Fake math?
Wow
I wonder if she will support AOC and her 70% tax rate and socialist ideas That want to take all of that away from her!
Starting off with a family of millionaires? Stick with the news , not faux celebrity fluff.
Notice the Post was careful to omit the term 'self-made.'
Who gives a rat’s heinie? The Kardashians are about as interesting as being on hold for customer service and the hold music is a ukelele version of Thunderstruck.
You had to write an entire article when they could have used one word. Privilege. Come on WaPo, I thought you were better than that
Do you think it would be possible for a 21 yr old woman to become a billionaire if western civilisation really was an 'oppressive patriarchy '?
Good for her but hardly self made.
No...one...cares
She complimented her Dad’s money with her sister’s sex tape.
Ask Trump? 🤡🙏🇺🇸
Born between third and home...somehow hits home run.
Step one: model yourself after your sex-tape famous sister. Step two: remake your face and body completely. Step three: be younger than your three famous sisters. Step four: live in a world where cameras follow your every move for money. Repeat. Smh
KylieJenner is not a self made billionaire. She’s a billionaire the same way realDonaldTrump is a billionaire.
She’s not a billionaire. It’s a clickbait lie.
NO ONE CARES.
Her last name!? Next question...
Step 1. Be born into a wealthy family.
“Self-made billionaire?” The Kardashians are famous for being famous — it all started with the release of a Kim Kardashian sex tape.
Vapid generation ordering products on their 'smart phones' from vapid child of privilege and half-sister of sex tape beneficiary, whom she told her plastic surgeon to replicate via scalpel and stuff on herself with multiple surgeries while she was still a teenager?
Who gives a f*ck? Is this how we choose who we admire? No wonder we are where we are.
Ugh. I will skip that.
And who cares?
I’m more interested in what happened to Khashoggi and some sort of justice for him.
Thank you for not adding the ridoculous phrase 'self-made' in your headline. WaPo is a world class publication.
Does the link say a sex tape and a double murder?
Ummmm..... who cares?
She looks like Michael Jackson. At least in this picture.
Don't go to college, have a child out of wedlock with a rapper with face tattoos, spend money extravagantly, emphasize style over substance. God Bless her.
How soon b4 she is wealthier than realDonaldTrump
She was already rich?
How to be totally rich and famous and still be contribute nothing of value
it's quite an achievement of American finance to be 'self-made,' since almost nothing else is 'self-made.' businesses normally need customers & investors for owners to make money. but, somehow we keep minting 'self-made' folks. truly, we're bigger than God.
Ray J and Kim.
Self-made: Having succeeded in life unaided...this doesn’t apply to the kartrashians the head heifer let a man urinate on herself
By creating a market for stupidity on tv (and media in general), which then paves the way for generalized stupidity: politicians, flat earthers, anti vaccine movements, conspiracy theorists everywhere, etc. When it's all about money there's no limit, even public safety.
Oh FFS. . Really?
Self made? Oh please.
liessssss it was the list
Doing what, exactly? Her family has money so it's not as if she actually started out on her own. What's to admire?
She was born in wealth. Give me a couple of millions to start my life and let's see if i dont end up billionaire myself
Kim spreading wide!!
I really don’t care.
Why don’t women want to look like women. Isn’t it saying something fairly negative about yourself to have to appear plastic to be acceptable. Oh, and billionaires should be created when they create something of value.
There's a sucker born every minute.
This is just crazy ! This is so wrong.
Being born into a rich family had something to do with it.
Lemme guess. Her mother was involved with THE high-profile murder trial, her father was on wheaties boxes, and her sister released a sex tape?
Mixing up all those magic creams and potions on the kitchen table..please! She came from a notorious family, famous for selling anything for a minute of fame. This family is a symptom of America’s end.
Being young n bangable.
By being born on 2nd Base
She started off on 3rd base?
Who care
Who cares.
If this article doesn’t include her family becoming famous after her sister boned Ray J on camera then nobody should read it.
No wonder she became a billionaire charging a dollar to read this garbage.
Pulled herself up only by her own bootstraps, of course!
Grew up rich and then licensed her name to a cosmetics manufacturer, oh and you’re calculating net worth wrong? 🙄
Thanks to the stupidity of the world
Stop. This is bad. You are being bad. This is bad reporting.
Thank you for the more accurate headline.
She was born to rich parents, that's how.
By being born.
A hefty dose of family millions was a good start. Right KylieJenner?
She could help so many. Remember the gospel of the Talents. They must be used.
Gofundme donations ?
This women isn't self made, so sit the hell down.
Mind you, Forbes thinks Trump's a billionaire.
Being born into a wealthy, famous family and leveraging that fame as well as her own beauty in order to build a brand that people buy regardless of actual value? You needed an article for that?
fake swag
Her sister took ray jays dick on film.
She started life on third base?
Rich parents?
For starters, she had a sister famous for having a big ass and a sex tape.
She didnt
She was born into wealth, and she’s not an idiot. Story over.
Spoiler alert: Spreads legs, becomes a social media sensation afterwards....
Be born a multi millionaire helps im sure
. she looks so much like Michael Jackson .
Yeah it's a real fuckin mystery.
OJ trial, Sex tape and Bruce Jenner?
She’s not self made though . Why are they saying that ?
Well it certainly wasn't because of me giving a shit
She started out as a multimillionaire?
Starting off insanely rich and stealing from Black culture?
TL;DR - Our culture ate itself and choked to death.
Selling info about her bad relationships to the tabloids?
No.
