Kylie Jenner Is Officially The Youngest “Self-Made” Billionaire & These Memes Will Comfort Your Broke Ass
We all know that Kylie Jenner is rich AF, with her makeup brand absolutely killing the game, making her the wealthiest fam member in the whole Kardashian/Jenner clan. But it turns out she is officially the youngest self-made billionaire in the whole damn world.
Surpassing Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg the Kylie Cosmetics founder, at 21-years-old with an estimated fortune of $1 billion, was crowned by Forbes Magazine as the youngest “self-made” billionaire.
And here I am not even able to afford my morning cappuccino.

The term “self-made” being used rather loosely when referring to the youngest Kardashian sister has not gone unnoticed on the internet. Kylie, of course, did not have a normal upbringing, born into money and growing up on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she amassed a huge following on social media.

When speaking to Forbes, even Kylie acknowledged before her cosmetics company hit the ground she was already in a position of privilege.
“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. It’s the power of social media. I had such a strong reach before I was able to start anything.”
Whether she is actually self-made or not, the news of Kylie’s new record has exploded on Twitter and the memes are too good.
Here are some of the funniest responses!
We all know Kris Jenner is behind it all.

Tbh being labelled ‘self-made’ is a bit fucking rich considering before she made her fortune she was…a bit fucking rich.
Kylie Jenner is proof that all you really need to succeed in life is inherit a few hundred million dollars and already have preexisting international fame from your parents and siblings, and then it’s possible to make something of yourself. Clearly an inspiration to us all.

Today, at 21 years old, Kylie Jenner became the youngest self-made billionaire of all time. Today, at 21 years old, I picked mould off a piece of bread, ate it, then called my mum to ask if it would poison me
