Kylie Jenner named youngest self-made billionaire for second year in row

There is no doubt that Kylie Jenner is hugely successful at the tender age of 22.

The superstar has topped the Forbes' World's Billionaire list for the second year in a row - meaning she is still the world's youngest ever self-made billionaire.

After being born into a family of fame, the star has worked hard to build her own business empire, which in turn has made the mum-of-one a billionaire.

At 21, she made it to Forbes' list in March 2019.

The brunette beauty secured her spot further when she sold 51% of her makeup business, Kyle Cosmetics, to Coty Inc. in a $600million deal.

The deal was closed in January, and values the makeup mogul's business at around $1.2billion.

It left the star one of just 2,095 people in the world with a 10-digit net worth.

Previously speaking about her achievement, Kylie admitted to Forbes: "I didn't expect anything. I did not foresee the future.

"But [the recognition] feels really good. That's a nice pat on the back."

Kylie, who is half-sister to Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian, started her cosmetics venture in 2014.

She used her social media channels to promote the brand.

Kylie made her own business by using $250,000 of her modelling earnings to pay for a company to produce her own range of Kylie liquid lipstick kits.

Selling her kits at $29 a pack, the first 15,000 sold out within the first minute.

The businesswoman continued with her new venture, releasing 500,000 kits in six new shades a few months later.
