Kylie Jenner, 21, is reportedly now worth $1 billion.
That makes her the youngest billionaire in history, and the youngest self-made billionaire ever, according to Forbes, which included Jenner on its list of the world's billionaires, released on Tuesday.
Jenner took the title from Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, who became a billionaire in 2008 at age 23, and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates held it in 1987 at age 31.

There's something wrong with a society where some dipshit whore like that becomes a millionaire. Her trannie daddy must be proud. A billion dollars worth of make-up? Somehow I doubt she started with nothing and pulled that much money outta her ass. Capitalism is ****ed up.

— 7 years ago(March 07, 2019 08:20 AM)Well she started rich and was actually instrumental in growing her brand. She’s one of the few makeup /Instagram celebrities to be hands on in the marketing and creation of her stuff.
Kudos to her, I follow her Insta too. Her stories are always entertaining.

Every story I've heard of a self-made billionaire involves years of struggle. There's just something fishy here. She's only 21. So what, she worked on her business empire for 2 or 3 years? That's not time enough to build a billion dollar business from scratch.

The Olsen twins also became billionaires with their clothing line in their day. But they had all that money saved up from Full House and direct-to-video movies as children.
She was already a millionaire as a child. If her parents opened up a savings account for her at birth, starting at say $1 million, and add to that as time goes on, the interest is going to grow exponentially by the time she's 21. -

Anyone can be a billionaire if they wanted to.
There are no laws prohibiting anyone from being a millionaire or billionaire.
A true example of class division is if the government decides what class you will be at birth and forces those people to only make up to a certain amount and by a house with so many square feet max. But we don't have those laws. Being a billionaire may be difficult, but being obscenely rich is easy to do here.
It's just that no one wants to do the work.
No one prevented you from starting the same makeup line. -
