Kylie Jenner has slammed Forbes after they removed her billionaire status
The 22-year-old television personality was given the title of the youngest self-made billionaire earlier this year, but the title has since been taken away as they claim she "inflated" figures about her business including her Kylie Cosmetics brand
3 June 2020
On hearing the news, she fumed on Twitter: "what am i even waking up to. i thought this was a reputable site.. all i see are a number of inaccurate statements and unproven assumptions lol. i’ve never asked for any title or tried to lie my way there EVER. period ... 'even creating tax returns that were likely forged' that's your proof?
"so you just THOUGHT they were forged? like actually what am i reading .. but okay ... i am blessed beyond my years, i have a beautiful daughter, and a successful business and i’m doing perfectly fine. (sic)"
And when some fans slammed Kylie for complaining whilst so much else is going on, she insisted it was the "last thing" she was worried about at this current moment.
She added: "i can name a list of 100 things more important right now than fixating on how much money i have ... this is literally the LAST thing i’m worried about right now (sic)"
Meanwhile, Kylie previously confessed her Kardashian / Jenner siblings and her mother Kris Jenner always joke about her billionaire status.
She said: "It’s only when we're in a group chat talking about where we should go for a trip, everyone’s like, 'Kylie? You going to pay for it?'
"But they’re all really proud of me for sure ... I can't say I've done it by myself. If they're just talking finances, technically, yes, I don't have any inherited money. But I have had a lot of help and a huge platform. I didn't expect anything. I did not foresee the future. But [the recognition] feels really good. That's a nice pat on the back ... It's the power of social media. I had such a strong reach before I was able to start anything."
