So Kylie is officially the richest…
How would Kylie have started her day? Honestly, it must feel great to enter the Forbes billionaire list as the youngest newcomer. I would have given myself that high five in the mirror, you know. Easy.
Will she actually realize what she has achieved? Is there really a difference between Kim K's ‘rich’ and Kylie's? I just wonder, you know. Or do you reach a point where you are so rich that you can already do everything and it doesn't matter anymore? And what exactly is the difference between becoming a millionaire or a billionaire? Where does that lie? A brilliant idea? A gap in the market? A good set of brains?
It all started in 2015 with that Kylie Jenner challenge. Young girls were eager to have full lips and did ridiculous things like sucking on soda bottle caps to create the filler effect. Kylie thought it could be done differently. Her first lip kit (a simple set of lipstick with a pencil) sold out worldwide in one minute. A typical case of supply and demand. The ridiculous thing is that sometimes I have in my head that all the Kardashians and Jenners are about thirty years old. Kylie Jenner is twenty-one. Seriously. She enters the list with her 1 billion dollars (yes, about 884 million euros) at position 2,057. She is the youngest ‘self-made’ billionaire in the world. I can only have respect for that.
Anyway, if you're still wondering who the richest stinkers on earth are: here it comes. And maybe the worst part? If you add up the total net worth of all billionaires on the Forbes list, you come to 8.7 trillion dollars. I don't even know how much that is, man. Crying.
