that the company, which launched in 2015 and is owned in its entirety by Kylie, is worth $900 million.
Kylie credits the historic achievement to"the power of social media," adding that while she never expected the accolade, it's a"nice pat on the back."Speaking to Forbes, Kylie said:"I didn't expect anything. I did not foresee the future. But [the recognition] feels really good. That's a nice pat on the back. It's the power of social media. I had such a strong reach before I was able to start anything.
People's reactions to the news were varied. Some congratulated Kylie, and said they were proud of her.
Sugar mama potential sugarmama
Lmao
Self-made?
If you can't make your own money, you won't keep it, that's just my opinion
'self made'
How are we defining self made?
she came from nothing, with just two platinum and diamond earrings to rub together. richestoriches
Omit the 'self-made' and THEN we can all agree.
Ray J, you the real MVP 🤑🤣
“Self made”
Wasn't she born rich tho
My name is WHAT my name is WHAT my name is....oh right it’s JENNER. 🤔 that’s what started it.
Great an individual from a multimillionaire family can be a self made billionaire, purely based on the fact they are selling through a store that on average pays their employees less than $9 per hour. Yeah congratulations to another billionaire who is probably not paying tax
“Self made”...
I helped found what became a successful modeling agency. At the time I didn't know my young friend wanted it pornographic, but they ran with my idea to keep it more sensual old school Playboy than raunchy Hustler smut. When asked how I'd like to be paid, I requested bodyguards.
Don’t feel poor. She was born on 3rd base.
Define self made?
'self made'
What's she spending that money on? I'd be spending it on DeepLearning biology for the BRAIN Initiative so that just because my body dies my mind won't die with it. It's called the Biblical vineyard of Matthew 20, but where Jesus spoke of building Heaven, I want to run Hell.
I hope she steps on a lego. Loses her wallet and forgets her phone at the most inopportune time.
Me: What did one neuron say to the other? Airhead: How would I know?
When you start of with millions, making a billion ain't nearly so hard. Now, let's talk jk_rowling who quit being one by giving so much away, to help people. Because that's impressive
🙄. And I struggle with being homeless and working and trying my best to get an RV for a travel reality show featuring a Filipina exploring America for the first time. The horror! No one cares about real people - only plastic personalities.
Not self-made. The white privilege is alive & real
Satan will do that
You are fake news.
MarilynRussell Definitely not self made. Ridiculous how many people are saying that.
Bullshit...there is nothing self made about her wealtg....BuzzFeed needs to get off her ovaries. Her and her family may be within the top 10 worse things that has happened to America in a generation...self made my ass!!!!!
Who cares about KylieJenner - Luke Perry just passed away....
Define self-made.
self made?! offs.
not self-made
Oh my god stop saying she’s self made!
'self-made' is the biggest joke here
So I guess Trump is self made too. Gross
Her body isn’t even self made. It must’ve been hard to save all that money working overtime at Starbucks
SELF- made? Id be self made if I had a head start In a privileged rich family too.
Ray Jay getting any royalties?
Yeah, that’s great good for her, but she’s far from self-made.
Self made Bahaha
“Self-made”. I can make myself a billionaire too with 100 million in seed money
Yeah, no...
How can you be self made if you were born into a wealthy family?!
Self made?
self-made [ˈˌself ˈmād] ADJECTIVE made by oneself.
Yeah - how would that go with a last name of Jones?
Getting millions from your parents is self-made now? Huh...
What's with this picture?
SHE. IS. NOT. SELF. MADE. Ffs, if she was Kylie Stevens from the projects she isnt making that money. Its enough to say she has become a billionaire without trying to make it seem more impressive than it already is.
NOT👏🏼 SELF👏🏼 MADE👏🏼
In as much as I am not a fan of the kardashian family, I mean let's put sentiments aside. Yes she was lucky to be born into the right family, but she started a business either way and it went in her favour, so why the hate peeps?
All deference to what she has accomplished, she is from the upper crust, to begin with. Advantageous, to say the least.
Do y’all not understand the definition of self-made
Self made means your older half sister made a porno tape...a boring one.
I don’t care how many other’s have pointed this out, cause I gotta say that calling her self-made is the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a while.
Well stop judging your life against strangers who have no bearing on your day to day life. These people only exist in the attention you give them. I don’t know how she made her billions and I couldn’t care less. Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, she is not I’m sure of it
To all the 🍼haters out there. Without the success of others, there would be no jobs. Be happy for she created a mega business that employs thousands of people! How many have you created?
If only mommy and daddy gave her money to get started
You guys staaahp they only put self made to get you to be like 'SHE AINT SELF MADE!!!' They know already!!!
When was born into money considered self made.?
if she is self made then trump is beyond reproach
So i guess Donald Trump is a “self-made billionaire”?!
Do not think you know what self-made means
oh yeah SO self made 🙄. excuse me while i laugh at how hilariously false that statement is.
Please stop perpetuating the idea that she’s self-made. Come on! Do better! You and Forbes today are really trying to create an illusion.
She’s not self-made.
I mean.....is it really 'self made' tho? 🤔
Kylie is not a “self made billionaire” her family was already worth millions and incredibly famous. All she did was leverage her fame, fortune, and family name. KUDOS for her accomplishments. But she already had the 'K'
Self Made? This is why i dont use BuzzFeed anymore.
“Self-made”
did we redefine self made or
her success comes from the fact kim decided to make a sex tape, lmao
'Self-made'
Don't her parents have money? Is she really self-made, if her name was known already?
Not undermining her work and what she has done but she isn’t self made
With this much inequality in the world, the last thing we need is more greedy ass no paying taxes billionaires.
We're using 'self-made' to refer to people born into immense wealth & privilege who manage to stay wealthy & build more wealth through their family name & network now?
Congratulations to her! The only thing that I disagree with is “my parents cut me off at 15” 🗣YEAH...BECAUSE THEY COULD! Rob however....but he’s taken care of...see the argument?
Self made feels a little lose here. She’s from a famous family soooo she already had an audience. 😑
Self-made is used to describe people who have become successful and rich through their own efforts, especially if they started life without money, education, or high social status Self made is a bit of a stretch don't you think
Self-made is used to describe people who have become successful and rich through their own efforts, especially if they started life without money, education, or high social status Self made is a bit of a strech don't you think? Well congrats kylie good luck
Don’t make me unfollow you buzzfeed
She comes from money. How's that 'self-made'? 🤔🤔
She's rich but i have privacy happier stressfree
Well if she’s proud of what she has made she shouldn’t vote for Democrat policies that want to take 70% of that away from her to share with other people without a say
She isn't 'self-made' if she was born a few rungs up the ladder...
Self-made in the most generous of definitions.
Thank you Kris....I mean Christ🌬
She is the exact opposite of 'self-made'.
We're just going to ignore that the only reason this family is even remotely successful is because of Kim's sex tape. Without that we would have no idea who this family was and they wouldn't have million. She is not self-made. She is a product of her sister's poor choices.
You can 'self-made' yourself an omelet, you just need to already have eggs, cheese, tomatoes, utensils, a plate, an oven, working electricity, an online tutorial, and an agent to get your name through the door.
Wait. Self-made? Do I not understand the meaning of self made?
I’m happy for her 😍😍
The only thing self-made about Kylie is her face and even then she had help 🤷🏾♀️
Being born into riches isn’t self-made. That’s like saying Donald Trump is a self-made billionaire. 😂
I’m in no way denying that she’s rich and successful, however: She. Is. Not. Self. Made. Her dad was a famous Olympic athlete & her sisters are famous reality stars (all due to a sex tape that went viral). 🙄🤦🏻♀️
lol thatd be cool if she was actually self made. but shes not.
a lot trust fund babies right now are crying in their diapers. if anyone can be born into a wealthy family and be called self-made, then so are the other billionaires out there like Bill Gate's kids. SELf-Made my ass.
We all know how this family has enriched its wealth, it’s a laughingstock of the modern era
Self-made?
So....the usage of the word self-made here....
Self made🤣
We are truly a merit based society.
You used the word self made on purpose to trigger everyone into reading your article. Nice try , I’m still not clicking your link.
If you believe that she’s self made, you deserve your faith
Didn’t Dictionarycom already cover this?
Is Ray J getting a 'thank you' card for the good job done Orr.....
Haters gonna hate!
How is she self made when she was born into an already-made window of opportunity? It was always open, all she had to do was go through it.
I think they meant to say “man-made.”
KylieJenner KrisJenner Forbes you are not ‘self made’ you had help both financially and managerial to allow you to start your empire. You did not slave away mowing lawns or washing cars. Get it right
Self made you say
let’s clarify how we define the term “self-made”
She is not self made.
This is a bullshit tweet, headline and story.
Define 'self made'. Thanx.
'Self made'..... seriously?
Not self made tho...
'self made'
Ummm, no. She is not self-made. She was born into wealth.
Self-made is when you start from 0
Self-made means you did ALL the work. It means you started from scratch, grew a following and created an empire. Not “you were born into an empire and capitalized on your following.” Smart businesswoman, yes...self-made, no.
Self-made ?!?!? Ok sure
U Know who’s actually self made? MADONNA she went from living in the street to who she is now 🙄
First of all she’s not self made and second of all who gives a fuck
Buzzfeed.... I don’t want to take Kylie success away from her BUT can we see an example of really self made? Like Oprah who came from nothing. Or maybe you just don’t understand the word...”self made”
Fake news
Self made my ass. From a wealthy connected family with free marketing provided by AETV KylieJennernotselfmade
She. Is. Not. Self. Made.
“Self made”
Starting a race at the million dollar line sure helps.
Her sister took one for the team and made a porn movie which Kylie used to get followers, not quite self made but good for her all the same.
Another policy failure. AOC
Self made my ass!
Women are the life light brilliance and the sustenance of this universe
Self made. Wtf. Lol
Self made? Yea, not when you’re from the Kardashian family should those words ever be linked to them. She had EVERY advantage.
Hey, Buzzfeed, did you fire the only good writers you had? Writing about this specimen is NOT news.
Poor buzzfeed
It takes money to make money. She had access to take it to make it. But a billion smacks is a billion smacks.
Stoooop with this bullshit reporting. There is nothing self-made about this person FFS.
'Self Made' is apparently a title that thoroughly ignores the individual's situation at birth... When I hear 'self made,' I sure as hell better open the link to find someone who worked up from next to nothing, not someone born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
She was never self made lol. She was born around money.
Self-made? Really?
Wow! No help at all!
She's not self-made
Fake news
“Self-made” tho?
Self-made? Nice joke.
Yeah, self made. Her family did not help at all.
she 👏 is 👏 not 👏 self 👏 made 👏
What does she do?🤣
It’s not self made when you’re born into money lmfao
That glow-up is BIG! 💅
I wouldn’t exactly say self-made.
This was already discussed. Let's move on
Doesn’t matter how much you say it, she isn’t self made. Bravo for her, tho!
Self made: with assistance from OJ Simpson, Caitlyn Jenner, Ryan S, Ray J and a camcorder.
Meanwhile my empire consists of my loyal 10 followers and about $274 in my bank account broke unfamous
“Self made”
Yeah self made
ah yes self made, she really came from nothing, only a family with wealth, fame, and a television show
Definitely a pull yourself up by the bootstraps story. Truly inspiring.
Self-made
Don't create problems that aren't there. You literally cannot feel 'poor' or an like an 'under-achiever' in comparison to a Kardashian/Jenner. She's not self-made, she hasn't exactly made it from the grips of poverty to billionaire has she?
People triggered in 1...2...3 😹
Wooow... I can't believe how much I know about this family by force...
How did she do it (and I didn't)? 🤔
I love that word... self-made
“Self Made” is a term I find too generous to describe her. She probably had the best head start someone could get by being born into a famous family.
“Self-made”
Flint still doesn’t have clean water. Write about something meaningful, not someone born into wealth.
'Self-Made.' You're trying to tell us that if her family had never made Keeping up with the Karsdashians & started that strange business empire, she'd have been able to start a makeup company and become a billionaire? She has the privilege of a name, connections, enormous wealth
Stop buying her child-slave-made shit then?
No ! A self made Billionaire starts from nothing and works their way up, she is far from self made
SELF-MADE, I have to laugh
Self made? Didn’t she start off with money?
Do you know what self-made mesma?
“Self-Made”
Self made? Stop with this nonsense. How could she start a bussiness.. Did she go to the bank with bussiness plans and pray for an answer Or did she take money from a trust fund and parlay it into a company and use her family social media influence to heighten her bussiness
Yeah. Self made my ass
Who gives a sh*t about this! GOT trailer dropped today!! Forthethrone
“Self made” 🥴
I passed out in a Taco Bell parking lot once when I was 21.
Self-made my non-existent ass
SELF MADE ? Buzzfeed go home you’re drunk .
You 👏🏻 are 👏🏻not 👏🏻self-made 👏🏻if 👏🏻your 👏🏻family 👏🏻name 👏🏻 and 👏🏻 connections 👏🏻 helps 👏🏻you
Misleading headline...people will start to misjudge the word “self made”.
SELF MAAAAADDDEEE?!?!
That's comical, does self-made mean she has not had plastic surgery yet.
Not self made. Not self made Not self made Not self made Not self made Not self made Not self made Not self made Not self made Not self made Not self made Not self made Not self made Not self made Not self made Not self made
Self made?
Self-Made? She's been famous basically from birth plus she's had easy connections from the beginning. Self-made would mean she started nothing, no advantage over the average person. You'd be an idiot for feeling poor because of that. Buzzfeed = fake news.
Self-made?
How can you say 'self-made'? Wish my folks had a few million for me to start a business with. I'd be 'self-made' too.
self-made! lol
who cares, she's gonna die anyway
Self made? Um, no.
SHE IS NOT SELF-MADE......
When you’re born into a rich family you definitely aren’t a “self-made” billionaire
Self made
Self-made? Buzzfeed, really? Ok, I can't take y'all seriously. I'm sure I'd be self made too, if my Mom and Dad had a few milly in the bank for my start up fund. And so by your standards, Ivanka is also self made.
Self made. Hahahahahahahaha
'Self-made'
Only after millions of dollars as a headstart.
By self made do you mean she relied on her family’s name and money to boost that career? Self made my ass!
BuzzFeed...She’s Not Self Made. Y’all are trippin *hard eye roll*
This tweet makes me unfollow
Sex and ass sell
How is “self-made” defined?
I wonder if Buzzfeed reads their own comments. No one likes their shit 😂
Right 'self made' please. You should change the headline to spoiled white girl that was already rich gets more rich for exploiting minorites traits for profit
She is not self made!!! She has an Olympian father. A famous Momager. Three family sisters. Famous ex-in-laws.
'self-made'
I think we're stretching that statement a bit ain't we? 😂 😂
elamin88 “self-made”
Wow people are so jealous
Yeah well, she’s bankrupt when it comes to the department of making money on her OWN without momma and old sis’s help. Whoever wrote this article can stop feeling bad bc u prolly worked harder to pay off your student loans than Kylie did to become a billionaire
We’re still doing this? Gag
This goof isn’t anything special just fake and plastic
being 'self-made' is easy when your family is crazy rich to begin with.
Self made? Mark zuckerburg is self made!!!
Remove the word “self-made” and this article can be accurate
Define self made.
Whos Kylie Jenner?
I'm not sure why, but I feel disgusted by this.
define self made
Self made? Sound like Donald Trump she came from money she had a damn head start. Y’all can praise her but let’s be honest about it
SELF MADE?
Self-made is a stretch
Please stop saying Kylie Jenner is self made. It makes your organization look ridiculous.
“self made”
She was born on 3rd base but claims she hit a triple. PLEASE! Self made, right!
Sure, Jan... Not like she was born white, rich and privileged or anything....
FFS.
It’s your fault America
Considering that my paycheck this week was $76... I DONT NEED KYLIE TO FEEL POOR.
Yeah remember how she saved up every nickel she made doing the night shift at McDonald's?
Buzzfeed, have you thought about surrounding yourself with rich people of the heart? Then you'll never feel poor...Trick is not to lay them off though.
Self- made🤢🤢 Someone gimme oxygen🤥
Oh! Poor !
Lol self made?
Yeah, that ain't self-made though. 😂
Um. Not again. Pls
i doubt it
Self made? Uh, ok....
You've never felt more poor so you fired all your employees and now y'all don't know that Kylie Jenner is not 'self-made'
Oh. We are still calling her 'self-made', I see.
So those camera in her house for the past x years had nothing to do with it?
Self made?
“Self-made”? 🤔
Since when did being born with a silver spoon make you self made?
'self-made'
