Given the celebrity status of the Kardashian-Jenner family after more than a decade in reality TV programming, one might wonder who’s the wealthiest in the family. How does Kylie Jenner’s wealth compare with that of her half-sister Kim Kardashian? She stands in second place (among family members), with only Kim surpassing her net worth.

Jenner’s wealth is currently estimated at $750 million by CelebrityNetWorth.com. The website notes that it didn’t believe the Forbes declaration of Jenner as a billionaire after selling her company, and reports that Forbes eventually revealed that Jenner’s accountants had falsely inflated the value of her company.

Kim Kardashian, having followed a similar path to wealth as Jenner, has also capitalized on her fame and created a direct-to-consumer cosmetics company, KKW Beauty. Her shapewear line, Skims, is also part of her net worth. Kardashian’s net worth is estimated at $1.4 billion. She crossed the billionaire threshold in the spring of 2021.
