Kylie Jenner made quite the headlines back in 2019 when she was named the youngest self-made billionaire by Forbes at the age of 21. Jenner launched Kylie Cosmetics in 2014 when she was merely 18 years old, and the brand made her a billionaire in simply 4 years. Remarkable when you read the stats but what can’t be ignored is the generational wealth that went behind the setting up of this “self-made” empire.
Kylie Jenner fairs from easily one of the most famous families globally, and has been a part of reality TV ever since she was a child herself. And all of the sisters have only one person to attribute their entire careers to – their momager, Kris Jenner .
The Kardashian-Jenner clan had alleged plans to make Kylie Jenner the first billionaire in the family
It is no secret that Kylie Jenner is the momager’s favorite child. The Kardashian sisters have themselves revealed the same more than once and Kris Jenner herself agreed to it when subjected to a lie-detector test on the Late Late Show with James Corden. There have also been reports that the KarJenner family had always planned to launch Kylie as the most successful sister after Kim Kardashian herself, who used to be Kris Jenner’s favorite child 10 years ago. They had plans for her to become the first billionaire in the family.

Kylie Jenner has been called a big brainchild of the cunnings of both Kris Jenner and the SKIMS founder more than once. A leaked music video of Kanye West ft. Tyga’s Feel Me even shows the Kylie Cosmetics founder walking out of the SKKN owner gave birth-giving parts, symbolizing that the former most popular sister gave birth to the upcoming sensation.

Ellen DeGeneres passed a subtle jibe at the momager’s princess and Kylie Cosmetics
Many reports have often suggested that every little step that the KarJenners have taken in their lives has been dictated by their mother to gain the maximum gross profit, be it scandals or babies. So it was not an exaggeration when Ellen DeGeneres said the same on her show.

Soon after Kylie Jenner was announced to be the youngest self-made billionaire, she appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show with her mother. The talk show host unhesitatingly said to Kris,
“You’re the brains behind this entire organization here. But this is crazy. So Kylie says to you that she’s interested in makeup. That’s what you wanted to do. So you’ve got all these sisters who are successful in doing all these things. Suddenly, you, you were here four years ago, just launching the cosmetics line… Four years later, you’re a billionaire.”
DeGeneres passed a real subtle jibe implying how adolescent’s entrepreneurial dreams were made true by giving her a legit company to her name and all the exposure in the world via a successful reality TV show and a bevy of sisters, all rich, successful, and famous in their own way. Self-made indeed!
