Kylie Jenner, 20, almost billionaire thanks to social networks

New York – She's a great fit for social networks and business savvy: soon to be 21, Kylie Jenner, the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, is about to become one of the youngest billionaires on the planet.
  

The ranking comes from Forbes magazine, which put it on the cover of its August issue. According to him, Kylie Jenner already has an empire rated " at the low end " at $ 900 million, three years after starting a cosmetic business in his name, whose success owes a lot to treatment intended to increase the volume of the lips.

A success fueled by Kylie Jenner's huge audience on social media. The young woman, who became a mom in February, has 110 million followers on Instagram, making her one of the 10 most followed celebrities in the world on this popular celebrity network (Selena Gomez and Cristiano Ronaldo are the two first).

With seven full-time employees only, Kylie Jenner testifies to a " new model of celebrity usage ," Forbes points out. " Basically, all that Jenner does to make all this money is to use his audience on social networks ".

Kylie Jenner, who no longer inflates her lips today, had cleverly orchestrated on Instagram, in February, the announcement of the birth of the little girl she had with rapper Travis Scott.

After months of silence on social networks, she had, for example, broadcast on YouTube an 11-minute video illustrating moments " key " of her motherhood, viewed 11 million times in just 12 hours .

Forbes calls the young woman " youngest billionaire to have made herself ". But many on social networks challenged Wednesday this qualification.

Kylie Jenner, far from being a part of it, derives much of her success from being part of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, a master in the commercial use of fame.

From the age of 10, she was on television for the beginning of the reality series " Keeping up with the Kardashians ", which made the glory of this family.

The " clan " did not fail to applaud Forbes' coverage on social networks. " Billion dollar baby! ," said Kim Kardashian-West, while the mother, Kris Jenner, said " so proud " of everything her daughter had done.
