Kylie Jenner Becomes Youngest Self-Made Billionaire At 21, Beats Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg With Kylie Cosmetics
Kylie Jenner has been named as the youngest self-made billionaire by Forbes at 21.
Kylie Jenner is now the world's youngest billionaire at 21. The reality TV star and makeup guru made it to Forbes' annual ranking of the world's richest people. Her make-up company, Kylie Cosmetics which she founded in 2015 is now worth $990 million, with Jenner owning 100% stake. At this age, Kylie has also become the youngest self-made billionaire ever. What's interesting is that she has achieved this feat at a younger age than even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg who reached the ten-figure mark when he was 23.
Talking about her achievement, Jenner told Forbes, " 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.” The youngest of the popular Kardashian-Jenner family ranked at number 2,057 on the list of 2,153.

Here's Kylie's post introducing her new line of Setting powders:
Kylie Cosmetics consists of just seven full-time and five part-time employees. The products are manufactured and packaged by Seed Beauty, a private-label producer based in California. Sales are handled by online merchant Shopify whereas her resourceful mother, Kris Jenner, is in charge of finance and PR. The popularity of Kylie's products has been such that back in 2015 when she first introduced the lip-kits, they were sold out in no time.
One of the biggest reasons for the success of the company has been Kylie's massive reach on social media. The reality TV star has a following of over 128 million on Instagram. In her latest range of products, Kylie is now set to expand her product range with setting powder, eyeshadows, and bronzers.
