Kylie Jenner is a successful, single, working mom; we should be celebrating her, not churning out the hate

Dethroning Mark Zuckerberg as the youngest self-made billionaire takes more than just good looks and lineage; here's the business smarts that catapulted the 21-year-old to the spot
UPDATED MAR 6, 2019

Kylie Jenner is the youngest self-made billionaire in the world today. Yes, that just happened, she just beat Mark Zuckerberg - and no, Kris Jenner isn't holding the Forbes editor hostage, as many are speculating on Twitter. The youngest Jenner is worth $1 billion, whether you like it or not, and those of you who can't stop moaning about the "self-made" bit, let me tell you this - Kylie Jenner is actually the best role model for women in this generation, right now.

Before you pull out sarcastic GIFs of why I might be terribly wrong, think about Kylie's empire. She's strong, independent and a woman who knows how to make money. She's an incredible businesswoman who totally gets what it means to run the show - and she's all of 21.
