Kylie Jenner on Forbes cover

Forbes magazine unveiled its latest cover, graced by the youngest Kardashian-Jenner. Diving deep into her $900 billion cosmetics empire, the magazine predicts that Kylie Jenner, who turns 21 next month, is on track to become the “youngest self-made billionaire ever, male or female” — surpassing even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who became a billionaire at age 23.

But many refuse to give her all the credit for her success since she comes from a famous celebrity family. Among the many interesting tweets about this was one by Dictionary.com.

“Self-made means having succeeded in life unaided,” Dictionary.com tweeted, before shadily quipping: “Used in a sentence: Forbes says that Kylie Jenner is a self-made woman.”

After launching her namesake makeup company, Kylie Cosmetics, Jenner has used her loyal fanbase and powerful social media platform to catapult the brand into one of the fastest growing companies in the beauty business.
