Kylie Jenner is currently facing intense backlash on social media. This comes after the 21-year-old was named the youngest ‘self-made’ billionaire of all time by Forbes.
Kylie is said to have amassed a personal net worth of $1billion through her successful make-up range Kylie Cosmetics which was launched in 2015.

However, not everyone seems impressed after the reality TV star and brand owner snatched the title from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Critics who have mocked Forbes particularly for their use of the phrase ‘self made’ argue that the Kardashian clan member did not make any of her financial achievements unaided.
According to one of the critics, “she would not be a self-made billionaire if she had been born into a normal family with every day jobs like me and you”.
