Kylie Jenner on track to become youngest self-made billionaire
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
At the age of 20, Kylie Jenner has built a $900-million fortune. She made the fortune in just three years!
Kylie Jenner is officially on the road to becoming the youngest self-made billionaire ever.
According to Forbes magazine, the 20-year-old is worth more than $900-million thanks to her beauty company, Kylie Cosmetics, TV program deals, and endorsements.
The 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' star is on the magazine's August 2018 issue for its annual ranking of America's Richest Self-Made Women.
Her beauty line alone has sold over $630-million worth of products since it launched two years ago. Big sister, Kim Kardashian, is worth $350-million in comparison.
Forbes says one year of growth could see Kylie becoming the youngest self-made billionaire in the world. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg currently holds the title. He became a billionaire at the age of 23.
The new mom credits her massive social media following (she has 110-million followers on Instagram alone) as the reason behind her success.
When Kylie's "lip kit" first launched in November 2015, the products sold out in one minute.
Not bad for a girl who turned an insecurity over her thin lips into a multi-million dollar business.

Kylie says she hopes to work on her beauty company "forever", with her five-month-old daughter Stormi following in her footsteps.
"Maybe one day [I'll] pass this on to Stormi, if she's into it," Kylie told the publication.
