Kylie Jenner’s Net Worth By Forbes: 4 Ways The Mogul Makes Her Money In 2023 That’d Surprise You

Kylie Jenner, of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, has built a $750-million net worth through her cosmetics line and other business endeavors.

Kylie Jenner may have debuted in the public eye as a 10-year-old on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, but her fame and net worth have skyrocketed through her own efforts. At age 24, Jenner has already bought and flipped real estate and developed (and sold) her popular cosmetics line for a whopping $600 million. What’s the entrepreneurial reality star’s net worth today?

How much is Kylie Jenner worth now?

Kylie Jenner is an American reality TV star, having grown up during the 14-year run of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. The youngest daughter of Caitlyn and Kris Jenner, she founded Kylie Cosmetics in 2014, of which she sold a controlling stake to Coty for $600 million in 2019.

In 2019, Forbes magazine estimated Jenner’s net worth at US$1 billion and called her the world’s youngest self-made billionaire at age 21; the notion of Jenner being self-made has been controversial.

2. Kylie Jenner’s cosmetics line

Financially, Jenner found her big break in 2014 when she launched her very own business venture, Kylie Cosmetics, at age 17.

The bulk of Kylie Jenner’s wealth hasn’t come to her via her family’s reality TV escapades but from her makeup and skincare line, Kylie Cosmetics. She started the company in 2014, launching the “Kylie Lip Kit” in 2015 and experiencing rapid growth and success.

In Nov. 2019, Jenner sold a 51 percent stake in her company to cosmetics company Coty for $600 million. The deal valued Kylie Cosmetics at about $1.2 billion.

In September 2021, Coty announced a baby care products brand by Jenner called Kylie Baby. In a press release, Coty introduced the brand as a line of “safe, gentle, clean, and conscious” products that are formulated to be “vegan” and “cruelty-free.”

Kylie Baby is just one of several brands using Jenner’s name that aims to build off the success of Kylie Cosmetics, including Kylie Swim and Kylie Skin.

Although she has since shut it down, Jenner previously made money from her personal app, which launched in 2015 and made $105,170 on its first day.

It is currently unclear whether her wealth is managed by a family office, or if it falls under her mother, Kris Jenner’s, responsibility as her manager.

How rich is Kylie Jenner compared to Kim Kardashian?

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.
