Most young billionaires become rich thanks to inheritance, especially Kylie Jenner is a particularly rare billionaire in the world.

Once criticized as the most ugly and least prominent duckling in the Kardashian-Jenner family , Kylie Jenner now owns a huge fortune that makes her sister Kim jealous. Currently, Kylie is only in her 20s, but her cosmetics brand Kylie Cosmetics has achieved a huge revenue of 420 million USD  in just 18 months. According to predictions by Women’s Wear Daily, Kylie could become a USD billionaire by 2022, that is when she is only 25 years old.

If you haven’t figured out how huge 1 billion USD is, try converting it to Vietnamese currency, that’s 22 trillion VND! In 2017, there are only 2,043 USD billionaires in the world. Among them, young billionaires at Kylie’s age such as Alexandra Andresen (21 years old), Katharina Andresen (22 years old), Gustav Magnar Witzoe (24 years old) all acquired huge assets thanks to inheritance from their father.

There are only a few special cases such as Evan Spiegel (27 years old) – Miranda Kerr’s newlywed husband – or Snapchat co-founder with Evan – Bobby Murphy (29 years old) and a few other businessmen who have become billionaires. Young thanks to being a technological genius.

Simply put, Kylie Jenner’s wealth in 2022 will no longer be on par with Hollywood entertainment superstars who own assets of several hundred million dollars, but will be comparable to businessmen and tycoons with fortunes. billions of dollars! But what’s special is that she is the first person to have a billion-dollar fortune at such a young age, not thanks to inheritance, marriage or technology business, but thanks to… being so famous.

Why is Kylie Jenner so rich? To answer this question, we must first find the answer to another question: Why is Kylie Jenner so famous?

The root cause of Kylie Jenner’s popularity is none other than her older sister Kim Kardashian and Kim’s sex tape that was released in 2007. Right after the sex tape scandal, Kim immediately followed Paris Hilton in the past. , making a reality TV show about his family life. Thanks to that, Kim’s youngest sister from another father, Kylie Jenner, also appeared on air.

The entire Kardashian family seems to have sold their private lives in exchange for fame. With endless fascinating dramas about the Kardashian family life, the show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” set many ratings records. Kylie then began to be remembered by American audiences.

Although all people remember about Kylie at that time was just a young girl in puberty, with thin lips, normal appearance and lackluster appearance, that popularity was enough to build a solid launch pad for a successful career. future social network superstar.

Although she has been famous since childhood, the moment Kylie Jenner truly began to become a global phenomenon was when she changed her appearance, especially her lips. Because honestly, if you had to choose between looking at hot Kim, beautiful Kendall or a very normal looking “thin lip version” of Kylie, no one would want to look at Kylie.

This change became a big turning point for Kylie. Her lips are thicker as if adding an extra layer of flesh, but Kylie never admits to having lip fillers injected. So family members began to scrutinize, mock, and criticize her for lying. Notoriety then suddenly turned into “famous”. Kylie not only attracted millions of fans thanks to her hotter lips, but also became the hottest controversial topic in the online community.

After that, there were many rumors about breast augmentation and butt augmentation. Of course she never admitted it. But the ultimate goal was to make Kylie Jenner’s name become the subject of comments for millions of people around the world, and she succeeded. Anyone who sees Kylie’s new photo will have to gossip to the person next to them, saying things like: “Oh my god, did she just get a butt augmentation?” or “Why are my breasts twice as big today?”. Public opinion comments became a building block for Kylie’s famous empire.

Not to mention the many controversies surrounding her love life, the most famous of which is the relationship with rapper Tyga – a love affair that caused a lot of controversy because it began when Tyga was an adult. and Kylie is still underage. Sometimes they get along, sometimes they fall apart, this tumultuous relationship is enough for people to talk more about Kylie Jenner.

Most recently, the news that helped Kylie Jenner appear in every headline was that she was pregnant with rapper Travis Scott. The reason this news suddenly became hot is because Kylie is quite young – only 20 years old, and she had only been dating Travis for 5 months and was already 4 months pregnant. For Kylie, this pregnancy was completely unplanned.

Beauty symbol of young people

In addition to controversial side stories, Kylie Jenner’s “main profession” is being an influential star who always knows how to create outstanding trends. If her sister Kim shattered the concept of “naked” beauty many years ago, changing the concept of physical beauty of many people, then Kylie is the one who brought the trend of sexy thick lips back. and take it to a new level. Pink lips with sweet candy or haughty red lips have temporarily given up the spotlight for thick, sexy lips with nude and matte lipstick tones.

No one can forget the divine hashtag #kyliejennerlipchallenge that made young people look for ways to get Kylie’s plump lips. I don’t know if this crazy thing is a sincere response from fans, or just a way for people to tease her. But obviously, that only brings more fame and good effects to Kylie’s newly launched lipstick line.

Along with other IT girls like Kendall Jenner, sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid, Kylie is also a trendsetter who creates many new trends in youth fashion, thanks to her great aesthetic sense. If you don’t know what to wear today, just follow Kylie’s lead and you’ll always be on trend.

Regarding her body, Kylie seems to be a crazy fan of her “super round 3” sister Kim, because she constantly changes her body to look as similar to Kim as possible. And so Kylie’s hot “hourglass” shape became the standard for young girls to follow. As for the boys, they had to admire her fiery beauty. So there is another reason for popularity.

Flexibility in turning all your popularity into money

Along with incredible coverage, Kylie Cosmetics is also expected to have 1 billion USD in revenue in 2022, a number that promises to help Kylie join the billionaire club before the age of 30. Kylie Cosmetics’ growth rate even surpasses large and long-standing cosmetic brands such as L’Oréal and Lancôme. These cosmetic lines need 80 years to reach 1 billion USD in revenue.

Kylie’s success influenced her older sister Kim to follow in her younger sister’s footsteps and create the cosmetic line KKW Beauty in June and it sold out in just a few minutes. Recently, fashion followers also witnessed another star following in Kylie’s footsteps to go into cosmetics business, Rihanna with the promising Fenty Beauty brand, which could become a formidable competitor to Kylie Cosmetics in the future.

Not only that, Kendall + Kylie also launched the Metal Haven jewelry collection in collaboration with Glamhouse designer Pascal Mouawad.

When not busy selling lipstick and clothes, Kylie takes advantage of her popularity, hundreds of millions of followers on social networks and her beauty to earn extra “pocket money” from lucrative advertising contracts. .

Not pursuing a professional modeling career, nor possessing a slim body like Kendall, Kylie is still the face that famous fashion brands around the world invite to cooperate.

In 2013, Kylie and her sister Kendall launched the first fashion product line under PacSun. Although this company has gone bankrupt, the tattered high-waisted denim shorts and tight strapless tops from that collection still follow Kylie as a source of inspiration, for the two sisters to “revenge” on the company. fashion came out later. The collection also promoted some faux leather and a black beanie named “Brat” – Kylie’s childhood nickname.
