What you should know about Kylie Jenner
10 interesting facts about reality star and makeup mogul Kylie Jenner.
Kylie Jenner addressed those who questioned if she really was a “self-made” billionaire after the social media star was dubbed the “youngest-ever self-made billionaire” by Forbes earlier this month.
Jenner, 21, discussed her cosmetic empire, being a young mother and whether she will have more kids during a Q&A with Interview Germany published Thursday.
The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star was asked how it felt to be named the youngest self-made billionaire, beating out Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
“I never thought that this could happen,” she told Interview Germany. “I believed in Kylie Cosmetics but I didn’t even know what I was getting myself into. It feels amazing, it’s wild, and being the youngest ever to do it is a blessing. I now want to focus on giving back to people and doing things that I’m passionate about.”

The magazine asked about those who felt Jenner was not “self-made.” Jenner defended herself saying there wasn’t any other way to put it.
“There’s really no other word to use other than self-made because that is the truth,” Jenner said.
“That is the category that I fall under. Although, I am a special case because before I started Kylie Cosmetics, I had a huge platform and lots of fans. I did not get money from my parents past the age of 15. I used 100 percent of my own money to start the company, not a dime in my bank account is inherited… and I am very proud of that.”
Jenner also discussed being a young mother, which she said she “always knew” that she wanted to be, and if she was ready for more children anytime soon.
“I do want more kids but I do not have any plans in the near future to have children right now,” the entrepreneur said.
