Kylie is worth a billion dollars?!


She figured out how to leverage her fame into outrageous wealth.

Jessica Simpson started this business model with her shoes.

I'm more disappointed with the people who made her a billionaire than with Kylie herself.

Not a huge fan of her regardless, but I cant hate the hustle.

Hewlett and Packard immortalized the garage–Jenner has her (or her mom’s) kitchen table. Her near-billion-dollar empire consists of just seven full-time and five part-time employees. Manufacturing and packaging? Outsourced to Seed Beauty, a private-label producer in nearby Oxnard, California. Sales and fulfillment? Outsourced to the online outlet Shopify. Finance and PR? Her shrewd mother, Kris, handles the actual business stuff, in exchange for the 10% management cut she takes from all her children. As ultralight startups go, Jenner’s operation is essentially air. And because of those minuscule overhead and marketing costs, the profits are outsize and go right into Jenner’s pocket.


While there's no reason to hate on her for it, it looks like she fell into this circumstance more than she created it.

Is this legit or is this like when Uber claims it's worth 900 billion dollars?

Dad is a legit successful attorney, daughter becomes a socialite, somehow leverages that into fame and a viable career, younger sister then leverages that into a successful career as a super model, then leverages that into an insanely profitable makeup business. Somewhere in that mix is a bi-polar rapper, some NBA stars, and a former olympic gold medalist turned trans.

Only in America!

fter signing an exclusive distribution deal with Ulta, the beauty retailer, Kylie Cosmetics was rolling its $29 lip kits—a matte liquid lipstick and matching lip liner—into Ulta’s 1,000-plus stores. And Jenner showed up to the Richmond Avenue Ulta in Houston to greet customers, sign autographs on lip kits and, of course, pose for selfies with her fans.  
Over the next six weeks, Kylie Cosmetics sold $54.5 million worth of products in Ulta, according to estimates from Oppenheimer. “I popped up at a few stores, I did my usual social media—I did what I usually do, and it just worked,” she says.
Fueled in part by the Ulta expansion, Kylie Cosmetics’ revenue climbed 9% last year to an estimated $360 million. With that kind of growth, and even using a conservative multiple from the booming makeup industry, Forbes estimates Jenner’s company is worth at least $900 million. She owns all of it. Add in the cash Jenner has already pulled from the profitable business, and the 21-year-old is now a billionaire, with an estimated fortune of $1 billion.

She had a company put generic lipstick in a bag and put her name on it.

That's BARELY simplifying it.

As ridiculous as that sounds, you forgot to add OJ beating a murder charge.

Wut? Jessica Simpson started this?

Look at all the lifestyle brands that have been around for decades. Jordan immediately comes to mind, but I'm sure this has been going on for a long time.
