Forbes Just Accused Kylie Jenner of Lying About Her Billionaire Status

In March 2019, Kylie Jenner made headlines for being hailed by Forbes as the youngest self-made billionaire in the world, a feat that owed to her eponymous beauty brand Kylie Cosmetics. What started out as a lip kit business eventually expanded to include more products, including a skincare line. Her status as billionaire beauty mogul was solidified when, in November 2019, she struck a deal with global beauty company COTY, the parent company of brands like CoverGirl and Max Factor. COTY bought 51% of Kylie Cosmetics’ shares for $600 million, resulting in a huge cashout for Kylie herself.
