How Kylie Jenner Became The Youngest Self Made Billionaire
At the age of 21, most people are still struggling with life, not sure of what will bring success on their path. At this age, life is a gamble.
However, for American reality television personality, model, entrepreneur and social media personality Kylie Jenner 21 is her age of becoming one of the few billionaires on earth.
A cosmetic company she founded in 2015, Kylie Cosmetics, is now worth at least Ksh90 billion, according to Forbes latest list.
The success in her business is attributed to more than 175 million followers she has across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat.
“I didn’t expect anything. I did not foresee the future. But [the recognition] feels really good. That’s a nice pat on the back,” Ms Jenner told Forbes.
She has starred in the E! reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians since 2007, at the age of just 9.
Kylie is the youngest daughter of Caitlyn Jenner and Kris Jenner.
