Kylie Jenner is the youngest billionaire in the world ever

She even gave Mark Zuckerberg a push off the throne. He only became a billionaire at the age of 23, while Jenner does it at 21. A very feminist friend of mine whispered that it was a shame that when women make fortunes, it is usually related to appearance (two out of three self-made millionaires in the Netherlands are models and Kylie also earned her fortune partly through her looks and her beauty business, but I silenced her with a fresh glass of white wine. Because it remains a milestone. Not every pretty face achieves this.).

Kylie Cosmetics started cautiously. It was only available online and occasionally in a pop-up store. When she struck a deal with beauty retailer Ulta, she put the pedal to the metal. Her matte lip liquid and lip liner suddenly became available in 1000 stores, catapulting profits to a solid 360 million dollars. Forbes' friends estimate her company to be worth 900 million. Add to that what Kylie had already scraped together as a model and Insta phenomenon, and the sum is quickly made. Billionaire. At 21.

What can you learn from Kylie?

“I did what I usually do, I popped up at a few stores, I did my usual social media, and it just worked.” She continues: “I didn’t foresee this future, I didn’t expect anything, but the recognition feels really good. It’s a nice pat on the back.” No talking, just doing, in short. We can do that too.
