21-Year-Old Mother Of One, Kylie Jenner Ties With Jay-Z To Become 5th Wealthiest American Celebrity Of 2018
There is one extremely notable newcomer to the FORBES 10 wealthiest celebrities list this year and it is 21-year old Kylie Jenner .
The young mother of one earned her $900 million net worth from her cosmetics company that she owns 100 percent of, as well as supplemental earnings from social media, which puts a whopping $1 million in her pocket with each Instagram post.
Kylie is the half sister of the business savvy Kardashian sisters and is doing just as expected, since the matriach of the Kardashian-Jenner family, who happens to be her mum starts them off early with an acute sense for business and money-making opportunities.
