How did Kylie Jenner boost her net worth?
She was “the youngest self-made billionaire of all time” in 2019, but Jenner’s net worth has declined to $700 million, as of October 2020. However, $700 million is still big. No surprise, she belongs to the Kardashian family.
Obviously, she had help with exposure. She was into modeling for the longest time and she made money off of endorsements. However, she expanded her brand when she ventured into the entrepreneurial world. Currently pregnant, the star recently launched Kylie Baby, a new brand of cosmetics designed for kids up to the age of 10.
Is Kylie Jenner still the youngest billionaire?
Kylie founded Kylie Cosmetics in 2014, and the primary source of her income came from there. She owned 100 percent of her company. In January 2019, she sold a little over half her company for $600 million — 51 percent to be precise. But her stake in Kylie Cosmetics is still valued to be $300 million.
Forbes retracted her billionaire status back in May 2020, claiming that Kylie and her mother Kris may have inflated her cosmetic earnings over the years. Kylie Jenner had a net worth of just under $900 million before her lucrative Coty Inc. deal. Meanwhile, if you want to calculate your net worth, read our blog.
How much did Kylie Jenner make on KUWTK?
‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’, popularly known by its acronym ‘KUTWK’, is what initially propelled the family to hit billionaire status. The reality show came to an end after 20 seasons when the family decided that they don’t need that income to stay afloat.
Kylie Jenner first appeared on ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ in 2010. However, her main source of income was never ‘KUWTK’. On the show, she reportedly banked $500,000 for each episode. This changed when Kris negotiated $100 million for five more years of the show.
Kylie Jenner’s real estate
While $300 million of her net worth comes from Kylie Cosmetics, the remaining $400 million of her fortune comes from her cash, cars, real estate, and other investments.
The youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan bought and sold multiple houses in and around Southern California. Her current residence is an eight-bedroom and 11-bathroom Cape Code-style mansion in California. She bought this house in 2016 for $12 million.
In 2020, Kylie paid another $36.5 million for a mansion in Holmby Hills, California. A month later she bought another vacant lot in Hidden Hills, California, for $15 million.
