Kylie Jenner (22)
Kylie Jenner remains the world’s youngest billionaire in her second year on the rich list. “Forbes” had the half-sister of Kim Kardashian in 2019 on the front page of the billionaire edition. The magazine declared the socia media star and cosmetic tycoon a self-made billionaire. However, the 22-year-old owes her success to a large extent to the fame of her family. According to “Forbes”, Jenner’s assets remained unchanged at $ 1.0 billion on April 7, compared to the previous year – even though she had sold 51 percent to Kylie Cosmetics for $ 600 million at the end of 2019. “Documents later showed that the company was much smaller than the family had claimed for years,” Forbes reported.
