Kylie Jenner, born on August 10, 1997, is an American media personality, socialite, and entrepreneur who has made a significant impact in the realms of fashion and beauty. She gained fame as a cast member of the E! reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which aired from 2007 to 2021, and later starred in the Hulu series The Kardashians starting in 2022. As the founder and owner of Kylie Cosmetics, Jenner has established herself as a leading figure in the beauty industry.
At just fourteen years old, Jenner collaborated with her sister Kendall to launch a clothing line called Kendall & Kylie in partnership with PacSun. This early venture paved the way for her subsequent success in the cosmetics world, where she introduced Kylie Lip Kits in 2015, rebranding it to Kylie Cosmetics the following year. Her entrepreneurial spirit has made her a prominent influencer, particularly among youth on social media.
Since the mid-2010s, Jenner has been recognized as a powerful figure in pop culture. Time magazine honored her and her sister as two of the most influential teens in the world in 2014 and 2015. In 2017, she made history by becoming the youngest individual to be featured on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list. That same year, she launched her own spin-off series, Life of Kylie, further solidifying her status in the entertainment industry.
Despite her success, Jenner's financial status has been a topic of controversy. Forbes initially estimated her net worth at one billion dollars in 2019, dubbing her the world's youngest self-made billionaire at the age of twenty-one. However, this claim was later disputed, as Forbes accused Jenner and her team of manipulating tax documents to create a misleading image of her wealth.
