Source: Miguel Riopa/AFP/Getty Images / Getty Back in 2018, social media was in an uproar after Forbes magazine claimed that Kylie Jenner was t he youngest “self-made billionaire ” of the year, and folks weren’t too pleased about the term “self-made” being associated with a Kardashian/Jenner. Even Dictionary.com was fed up with those alternative facts. The digital lexicon shadily replied to Kylie’s controversial Forbes cover: “Self-made means having succeeded in life unaided. Used in a sentence: Forbes says that Kylie Jenner is a self-made woman.” Self-made means having succeeded in life unaided. Used in a sentence: Forbes says that Kylie Jenner is a self-made woman. https://t.co/sr8Ncd7s5A https://t.co/ehEL7Cf6KV — Dictionary.com (@Dictionarycom) July 11, 2018 On Tuesday, the famous business magazine reported that the 21-year old makeup maven is the youngest billionaire on the PLANET and of ALL TIME — dethroning Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg who was 23-years old when he went from millionaire to billionaire. Kylie Cosmetics is said to be worth at least $900 million, with Jenner owning 100 percent stake. Sheesh. But once again, the public’s disdain for the term “self-made” associated with a someone like Jenner sparked a deeper conversation about what it takes to be wealthy and successful in America. @SamsRamblings tweeted: “I have a HUGE problem with Forbes hyping up Kylie Jenner as a “self made billionaire.” First, she’s from a wealthy family in general and never had to struggle. Second, she was brought up in a media frenzy family and GIVEN a platform. There’s no self made anywhere in her story.” @YerrBoyJosh joked: “Kylie jenner at 21 is a billionaire off make up and her family name im bouta change my name to kardashian put on a wig shove a pillow where my ass is to look like one of them and drop some shit.” Don’t be fooled by the Forbes list , though.
