Kylie Jenner Net Worth 2017
In 2017, Kylie Jenner was widely reported to have a net worth of around $900 million. This estimate was largely based on her ownership stake in Kylie Cosmetics, which she founded in 2015. Forbes later questioned the valuation, noting that the company's revenue and profit figures may have been overstated.
How Kylie Jenner Built Her Wealth
Kylie Jenner built her wealth primarily through her cosmetics company, Kylie Cosmetics, and her massive social media following. She leveraged her reality TV fame from Keeping Up with the Kardashians to launch lip kits that quickly sold out. By 2017, the brand had expanded into a full makeup line and generated hundreds of millions in revenue.
Sources of Income and Early Career
Before Kylie Cosmetics, Jenner earned income from sponsored social media posts and appearances on television. Her early career earnings were modest compared to later years. As the brand grew, product sales, online marketing, and celebrity endorsements became her main sources of income. Forbes provided an in-depth look at the business behind the fortune.
