The Jenner-Kardashian family

This is not the first time someone from the Jenner-Kardashian clan has been on the Forbes Billionaire List. In March 2019, the magazine named Kylie Jenner (then 21) the youngest person in the world to earn a billion dollars on her own.

In May 2020, Forbes struck Jenner off the billionaire list . He also announced that her fortune was “only” 900 million dollars. Journalists of the magazine reviewed the financial data of Coty, which in November 2019 bought 51 percent of Kylie Cosmetics for $ 600 million. According to Forbes, the documents show that the Jenner business is much smaller and less profitable than previously believed. The magazine accuses Jenner of inflating sales figures and showing false tax returns.

This is not the only controversy surrounding Kylie Jenner. There are also a lot of reservations about including her in the group of self-made women, i.e. people who owe everything only to themselves, their own diligence and talent. Some commentators remind that Kylie Jenner owes fame and great popularity to her family – the Kardashian clan.
