Kylie Jenner posed up for her raunchiest shoot to date as she finally addressed the backlash received for being named a ‘self-made billionaire’ in 2018.
The 29-year-old cosmetics mogul, who recently addressed pregnancy rumors, scintillated in a sultry cover shoot for Who What Wear released on Thursday.
Back in 2019, Forbes dubbed the reality star the ‘youngest-ever self-made billionaire’ after she sold 51 percent of her Kylie Cosmetics brand to beauty brand Coty Inc for $600 million.
Jenner, who was 21 at the time, unseated Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, now 42, as the youngest-ever self-made billionaire – he was 23 when he made his first billion 11 years ago in 2008.
And now, the mom of two finally addressed the firestorm directly in her WWW cover story as many took umbrage with the claims she was ‘self-made’ despite coming from a rich family with several multimillionaires.
She clarified that while she technically fits the definition because she did not inherit her business earnings, she fully recognizes how her massive family privilege gave her a significant head start.
Jenner said: ‘None of the money I’ve ever made is inherited, so it’s technically true but people just feel like the privilege I’ve had was a major stepping stone.’
Forbes has since reported that her actual net worth is around $670 million.
In the new feature, Jenner also got very candid about being a young mother and why she made the decision to not have any more children in her twenties.
The lip kit mogul shares two children with her amicable rapper ex Travis Scott, her daughter Stormi, eight, and son Aire, four.
She said: ‘I made a promise to myself at 25 that I was not going to have any more children—right now—and really just enjoy the last half of my 20s because the first half was like, “You’re pregnant,” and then it’s the year of recovery, and, you know, my mental state, my postpartum depression, and all those things.
‘It felt like I lost some of those young years of my life.’
Jenner noted that as she approaches 30, her values have matured. She admitted that she temporarily lost control when her life grew ‘too big’ and is actively moving past an ostentatious lifestyle.
