Kylie Jenner is officially the world's youngest self-made billionaire.
On Tuesday, Forbes and Bloomberg reported that the makeup entrepreneur and reality star had officially crossed the $1 billion milestone.
Some people were less than pleased with the designation of Jenner, whose ritzy upbringing was documented on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," as "self-made." Forbes uses the "self-made" designation as a way to distinguish between extremely rich people who inherited wealth and those whose fortune was made primarily in other ways.

Forbes estimated Holmes to be worth $4.5 billion at age 30, in 2014, due to the massive valuation of her blood testing startup, Theranos. At the time, she was the youngest woman to become a self-made billionaire and remained so until Jenner's recent triumph.
In 2016, Forbes dropped its estimate of Holmes' net worth to zero, due to allegations of fraud at Theranos.
