According to the Cambridge dictionary, “self-made” stands for “rich and successful as a result of your own work and not because of family money”. So, a self-made person is someone who has become rich all by himself. They start with an at least zero bank balance and then find their way to billions. This month Forbes announced that Kylie Jenner as the youngest self-made billionaire and apparently she achieved this title even faster than Mark Zuckerberg. The credit goes to Kylie Jenner’s cosmetic company ‘Kylie Cosmetics’. However, keeping the actual definition of the term “self-made” in mind, is Kylie Jenner really a self-made billionaire?
