Twitter Reacts to Kylie Jenner Becoming a Billionaire
Jul 13, 2018
Recently Forbes announced Kylie Jenner to be the youngest self-made billionaire in history, with a net-worth of $900 million. She has achieved this success because of her Kylie Cosmetics Company which was launched three years ago. According to Forbes, her net worth will likely pass $1 billion within the next year. Since the day she has been announced as a self-made billionaire twitterati has flooded with mixed reactions. People are pointing out her for not being a self-made woman because she belongs to Jenner Family.
Check out people’s comments here:
Calling Kylie Jenner self-made without acknowledging anywhere the incredible headstart she had is what allows people to turn around and look at poor people and ask them why they haven’t become billionaires yet. Her story is not inspiring or motivating for anyone https://t.co/YMnTSzHlKP

kylie jenner aside, there’s no such thing as a self-made millionaire or billionaire or any wealthy person.
you cannot obtain this much wealth without the exploitation of people. exploiting people made you a millionaire/billionaire. not you alone.
I work hard every day. Unfortunately, it is extremely unlikely I will ever have close to a billion dollars. I also do not have an Olympian for a father, sex tape star for a sister, famous and wealthy siblings, or mother who is ex wife of a famous and wealthy attorney. ???????

Your family can give you millions to start a business

But to get $670m in sales from strangers takes some doing
Let's give Kylie Jenner the respect she deserves
I get what you're saying but if her parent's worked hard to give their kids an amazing life and she chose not to waste it that isn't something to be mad about. The struggle adds honor but not everyone has to come through a struggle to validate their accomplishments.

It is not shade to point out that Kylie Jenner isn’t self-made. She grew up in a wealthy, famous family. Her success is commendable but it comes by virtue of her privilege. Words have meanings and it behooves a dictionary to remind us of that. https://t.co/2HzIJbLb8q

“Kylie Jenner isn’t self made because she had rich parents” well so does Paris Jackson, Kendall, Kourtney

And “self made” means your efforts,working to get something..she didn’t inherit the $900million but the foundation which she made good use of
Stop trying to discredit her????
I know y'all gonna want to discount her achievement, but this is hard af to do: it was a lean startup, she successfully leveraged her influence, outsourced production, and ran millions worth of sales through a shopify website. That's some next level shit. https://t.co/lDOn3B7hK1
