Background

Kylie Kristen Jenner is an American businesswoman, socialite, model, influencer, and media personality. She gained prominence with the superhit reality show “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” which broadcast the family’s daily life and starred her three half-sisters. The show was aired on the E! channel. In 2012, when she was 14, she collaborated with a clothing brand, PacSun, along with her sister Kendall, for a clothing line, Kendall & Kylie. In 2015, she launched her brand of cosmetics, Kylie Lip Kits, which was renamed Kylie Cosmetics the following year. She also released a mobile app that reached number one on the iTunes App Store.

In 2014 and 2015, “Time” magazine listed the Jenner sisters on its list of the Most Influential Teenagers in the World, citing their considerable influence among young people on social media. In 2017, she was placed on the “Forbes” Celebrity 100 list, making her the youngest person ever to be included. She also had her series, “Life of Kylie,” air on E! in August 2017. As of October 2022, with over 371 million followers, she became the second most followed person on Instagram. Jenner is in a relationship with Travis Scott and has two children.

According to “Forbes” magazine, her net worth is estimated at $1 billion, which made her, at the age of 21, the youngest billionaire in the world. She was named the Most Powerful Celebrity in the Fashion Industry by the “New York Post” in November 2018. However, the notion of her being self-made is a topic of controversy due to her privileged upbringing. In May 2020, “Forbes” released a report, accusing Jenner and her mother of forging documents regarding her net worth and profits from her make-up line. According to the magazine, they used fake tax documents to earn the title.

She is humble
Although she comes across as a super-confident person, she revealed in season 12 of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" that she had anxiety issues and felt like she was not supposed to be famous. Growing up in the public eye and constantly being scrutinized has left her battling with her confidence issues.
She idolizes Lady Gaga
She is inspired by Gaga. The famous singer even gave her some fame-related advice.
