Written by Priya Bhagtani

Who does not know about Kylie Jenner? After the broadcasting of the show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”, Kylie Jenner and other members of the show became extremely popular overnight. The show grabbed eyeballs for both the right and the wrong reasons.

Similarly, the cast of the show, including Kylie Jenner became popular for both right and wrong reasons. While many people became fans of the cast, others criticized them. Well, it would be technically wrong to call Kylie Jenner and others “the cast” of the series because they are not actors. They used the show as a platform to document their real life. Keeping Up with the Kardashians was an American reality television series. It featured the Kardashian sisters and their half-sisters Jenner sisters.

The journey of Kylie Jenner net worth started from this show itself.  Just like all other members of the show, she also used to get paid to let the world watch her personal and professional lives. Being the youngest of all sisters, Kylie was just nine years old when Keeping Up with the Kardashians (KUWTK) premiered in the year 2007.

Since then, Kylie Jenner has become a household name for millions of people across the world. Her net worth grew over time, as she got involved in a number of endeavors and projects. We will discuss those projects more as well as the show in the later sections of this blog post. We will first have a look at what exactly Kylie Jenner does and how much is her net worth. We know that you have been waiting for a long time to find out this answer. So, let’s jump right into it.

Who is Kylie Jenner?

A celebrity as famous and magnanimous as Kylie Jenner doesn’t need an introduction. Today, people from all walks of life know her well. Whether it’s a regular person who purchases products sold by Kylie Cosmetics, which is the company owned by Kylie Jenner or a TV junkie who keeps watching various shows in which Kylie Jenner has been featured, almost everyone is aware of who Kylie Jenner is.

But since we are going to learn about Kylie Jenner net worth, let’s first know a bit more about this celebrity. Kylie Jenner is an American entrepreneur, reality television personality, model, writer, and socialite. We know you must be wondering, “How can someone achieve so many titles at such a young age?”.

Well, wonders like this can happen when a person is surrounded by inspiring and hardworking people. If you have been watching KUWTK, you must be aware that all the members of the Kardashian and Jenner families are extremely ambitious. So, it should not come as a surprise that Kylie managed to earn fame, wealth, and success at a young age. However, the fact that she has successful people in her family does not lessen her achievements or make them any less important.

In fact, it’s a lesson to learn that a person can create and maintain their own identity despite being surrounded by well-known people. While Kylie Jenner may have started being recognized as a member of the Kardashian-Jenner blended family, over time, she has become a renowned person because of her own accomplishments and virtues.

Along with Kylie Jenner net worth, it’s also worth knowing what defines the life of Kylie Jenner. A fact you must know at this point is that she is highly active on different social media platforms. As of January 2023, Kylie Jenner is the fourth most-followed person on Instagram with more than 378 million followers. She became the first woman to gain 300 million followers on Instagram in January 2022. She broke the record of Ariana Grande for being the woman with the highest number of followers on the photo-sharing platform. Kylie Jenner even has a YouTube channel, which has over 12 million subscribers.

Kylie Jenner Net Worth

Now, let’s get to the main point of this blog post – The net worth of Kylie Jenner. Unlike many other celebrities, Kylie Jenner becomes a subject of controversy when it comes to net worth. As of January 2023, the net worth of Kylie Jenner is estimated to be $750 million.

But in the year 2022, her net worth was claimed to be US $1 billion. In fact, in the year 2019, Forbes, a well-known American business magazine, claimed that Kylie Jenner is the youngest self-made billionaire in the world. Kylie was 21 years old at that time. It was reported by various sources that Kylie beat Mark Zuckerberg, who became a billionaire at the age of 23.

However, later, May 29, 2020, Forbes took back the claims it made earlier. It released a new statement that Kylie Jenner tricked everyone into thinking that she is a billionaire by forging tax documents. The publication also put an accusation on Kylie that she showed inaccurate revenue figures for Kylie Cosmetics in order to make people believe that she is a billionaire. Those figures were made up by the accountants of Kylie Jenner.

The topic of Kylie Jenner net worth began to be discussed for two major reasons. The first reason was that Forbes used the term ‘Self-Made’. Usually, this term is used for people who attain success on their own after facing a lot of challenges. But in the case of Kylie Jenner, using this term made no sense for many people, as her business took off because of the fame she had acquired due to being a member of the Kardashian-Jenner blended family. The second reason was a variety of statements being released by Forbes.

As a response, Kylie Jenner wrote a series of tweets on the microblogging platform Twitter on the same day to clear her name from all the accusations. She even made her attorney deal with Forbes legally. The attorney of Kylie demanded that Forbes retract the statements, as according to him, the accusations made by the publication were not true.

But Forbes reacted by saying that their accusations are a result of an investigation that was supported by documents. An interesting point worth mentioning here is that Forbes called Kylie Jenner a billionaire after she sold 51% of the shares of her company, Kylie Cosmetics, to Coty Inc. for $600 million. It made the valuation of the company to come to $1.2 billion on paper. Coty Inc., a global beauty company, paid the amount which is around 27 times the profits earned by Kylie Cosmetics.

Hence, the deal became questionable, and so did the net worth of Kylie Jenner. Kylie’s net worth was estimated to be between $150-$200 million in mid-2018 by Celebrity Net Worth, a reputable publication. The same publication estimated the net worth of the reality television star to be $300 thousand in the year 2011. Kylie Jenner was 14 years old at that time. Celebrity Net Worth estimated Kylie’s net worth to be $2 million, $4 million, and $50 million in 2013, 2014, and 2017, respectively.

Considering how high Kylie Jenner net worth is, it’s no surprise that the entrepreneur possesses several properties. She bought her first home for $2.7 million when she was 17 years old. The house was located in a gated community called ‘The Oaks’ in the city of Calabasas in the U.S. State of California. Then, she sold this house for $3.5 million in the year 2017.

Kylie Jenner bought a mansion in Hidden Hills, which is a city and gated community in Los Angeles County of California. It is known for having the residences of numerous celebrities. The mansion worth $6 million was sprawled across 4.5 acres of land. Later, she even bought the vacant lot located next door to the mansion. She sold the mansion and the empty lot. She bought a home together with Travis Scott, her boyfriend, in the city of Beverly Hills in California in 2018.

The home was bought for $13.45 million, and it was listed for a little under $22 million. Kylie Jenner even purchased a plot of land in La Quinta, which is a desert resort city, in California. She bought this plot of land for $3.25 million in February 2019.

Kylie Jenner net worth is also used for buying a mansion in April 2020 and a vacant lot in May 2020. The house that Kylie currently lives in is a mansion located in Hidden Hills. This Cape Cod-style mansion is sprawled across 13,000 square feet of space. Purchased for $12 billion, this mansion has eight bedrooms and eleven bathrooms. In a nutshell, the net worth of Kylie Jenner increased from $300 thousand in the year 2011 to $750 million in the year 2023.
