KYLIE JENNER – EST. $1 BILLION

Some might question Forbes for giving Kylie the title of “Youngest Self-Made Entrepreneur in the World,” given her privileged background prior to investing in her own brand, Kylie Cosmetics. However, whether she’s self-made or not, the fact still holds: she managed to turn her reality television popularity into one of the most successful brands in the world. It’s not too surprising, giving her and her family’s influence over modern trends.

Outside of her cosmetics company, Kylie also makes bank by starring on the reality TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which is centered on her family, as well as through the various brand collaborations she and sister Kendall have had throughout the years.

She also earns money from her paid app called the “Kylie Jenner Official App.” At the age of 21, Jenner was given the title of the youngest billionaire in history, which she took from the co-founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, who became a billionaire at age 23. After 18 months, a mere $29 Kylie Lip Kit earned her company $420 million in sales.
