The Crazy Of Life - The World's Youngest Billionaire

From changing dirty nappies to dominating the beauty biz, Kylie does it all – and she’s only 21!

She turns 21 on August 10, but Kylie Jenner has already garnered the kind of success most people twice her age can only dream of.

Yep, the reality star turned make-up mogul recently graced the cover of Forbes magazine, who named her as the youngest “self-made” billionaire in the US thanks to a cosmetics empire worth $1 million and $137 million in other earnings.

Naturally some critics scoffed at the notion Kylie did it on her own. Given she’s been in the spotlight since Keeping Up With the Kardashians premiered in 2007 when she was just nine, it was argued that she’s benefitted from the connections of her famous family, as well as her own fame.

However, few can deny that Kylie has done a huge amount in her short lifetime, with sources revealing she’s very much hands-on when it comes to the day-to-day running of her three-year-old business.

“There is no doubt that Kylie couldn’t have got this business to where it is without her mum’s help,” a source tells the UK’s Grazia magazine. “But Kylie has put in the work in keeping things going.”

In 2015, Kylie put $342,000 of her own money into creating 15,000 lip kits that sold out within about a minute. She then established Kylie Cosmetics –a company that’s now worth over three times her initial investment. The star has seven full-time and five part-time employees. She works closely with her mum Kris Jenner, best friend Jordyn Woods, personal assistant Victoria Villarroel Gamero and manufacturer Laura Nelson.
