About Kylie Jenner

Kylie Kristen Jenner (born August 10, 1997) is an American media personality, socialite and businesswoman. She starred in the E! reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians from 2007 to 2021 and then the Hulu reality television series The Kardashians from 2022. She is the founder and owner of cosmetic company Kylie Cosmetics. She is currently the fifth-most-followed person on Instagram. At age 14 in 2012, Jenner collaborated with the clothing brand PacSun with her sister Kendall, and created a line of clothing, Kendall & Kylie. In 2015, she launched her own cosmetics line called Kylie Lip Kits, which was renamed to Kylie Cosmetics the following year. Jenner has been an influential figure in pop culture since the mid-2010s. In 2014 and 2015, Time magazine listed the Jenner sisters on their list of the most influential teens in the world, citing their considerable influence among youth on social media. In 2017, Jenner was placed on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list, making her the youngest person to be featured on the list. Jenner also starred on her own spin-off series, Life of Kylie, which premiered in 2017. In 2017, she was selected for the Forbes 30 under 30 list in the Retail & Ecommerce category and subsequently the Forbes 30 under 30 Hall of Fame in 2022. Jenner's wealth and its coverage in Forbes has been a source of controversies in the past. In 2019, the magazine estimated Jenner's net worth at US$1 billion and called her the world's youngest self-made billionaire at age 21, but it turned out to be false, as Forbes revealed that Jenner and her team had deceptively forged tax returns to create an image she was a billionaire. In May 2020, Forbes released a statement accusing Jenner of forging tax documents so she would appear as a billionaire. Her enhanced lips from lip fillers created speculation and gained her publicity.
