Reminder: You’re A Whole A$$ Moron If You Think Kylie Jenner Is “Self-Made”
Kylie Jenner Isn’t Self-Made
We’re pretty sure you’ve seen it by now: Forbes has deemed Kylie Jenner a self-made almost-billionaire. And it’s total bulls***. First of all, it’s hard to justify the idea that any person who becomes a billionaire does it on his or her own, because at some point along that path, after maybe the first few million, the rest of the money came off the backs of a whole lot of underpaid labor. Then let’s look at Kylie specifically: a woman whose wealth was built based on the wealth of other wealthy people in her family. She started as a millionaire and had all the trimmings and privileges to get her where she is.
It is not shade to point out that Kylie Jenner isn’t self-made. She grew up in a wealthy, famous family. Her success is commendable but it comes by virtue of her privilege. Words have meanings and it behooves a dictionary to remind us of that. https://t.co/2HzIJbLb8q

Also, let’s not forget the fact that Forbes is basing these figures on valuations and estimations, anyway, not even sure of Kylie’s actual worth, with some of the figures coming from unverified Kris Jenner claims.
All in all, it’s pretty freaking wild to think Kylie is self-made at anything. Twitter seems to agree and has joined in the chorus of disbelief. Peep.
The narrative of rich kids being self made is offensive

calling kylie jenner a ‘self-made billionaire’ is like claiming you made soup from scratch because you opened a can and reheated it.

this “Kylie Jenner is a self made billionaire” bullshit is incredible. Like yeah if I was born in a mansion in Malibu and get handed a couple million to start a business venture I could do that shit too. When your parents were already millionaires, you aren’t self made😂

Nobody is doubting Kylie’s success, she did her thing… just don’t call her self made. Knowing damn well she had all the resources she needed to get to that point.

Calling Kylie Jenner self-made is like calling a Blue Apron meal homemade.

kylie jenner isn’t a self-made millionaire bc:
1. she was born a millionaire
2. her family already had the connections and recourses she would need to make money. NEXT— liv (@olixiat) July 13, 2018
Kylie Jenner becoming a self made billionaire is like microwaving left overs and saying you cooked a meal

ah yes, kylie jenner, self made rich woman. how could you not love her backstory. being born to a lower class family, working menial jobs to make ends meet. finally getting her big break when her sister made a sex tape that turned into a reality show. you go, girl!

hi.
kylie jenner aside, there’s no such thing as a self-made millionaire or billionaire or any wealthy person.
you cannot obtain this much wealth without the exploitation of people. exploiting people made you a millionaire/billionaire. not you alone.

If Kylie Jenner is self made, then so was my burrito I had for lunch. The Chipotle employee was just a witness
