U.S. Reality TV star Kylie Jenner is on track to becoming the youngest self-made billionaire in the United States thanks to the booming cosmetics company she launched two years ago, Forbes magazine reported on Wednesday.
Adding millions from TV programmes, endorsements and after-tax dividends from her company, Forbes said Jenner was “conservatively” worth $900 million. Another year of growth would make her the youngest-self made billionaire ever, male or female, the magazine said.
Jenner first grabbed the spotlight as part of the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” reality TV show with her mother and siblings.
Forbes estimated that Kim Kardashian, who has her own cosmetics, clothing and mobile games lines, is worth $350 million.
In an interview with Forbes, Jenner credited social media for helping drive her success.
“Social media is an amazing platform,” she said. “I have such easy access to my fans and my customers.”
