Keeping Up With Kylie

Twenty-three years old and already winning at life—that’s Kylie Jenner pretty much summed up in a sentence. Being the youngest of the Kardashian clan, our first glimpse of Kylie was during her younger days in the reality TV show, Keeping Up with The Kardashians.
Having been recognized by Forbes at 21 years old as the youngest self-made billionaire, Kylie has definitely made a name for herself not just in show business but in the world of business as well.

The duo later launched more collections that focused more on faux-leather and grey beanies. Pacsun later had to file for bankruptcy. But young Kylie’s career didn’t stop there. It was just the beginning.

A year later, Kylie and Kendall collaborated with Steve Madden on a California-inspired shoe and bag line for the label, Madden Girl. In 2015, Kylie, together with Kendall, once again partnered with Balmain for their sister-themed campaign, making her high-fashion modeling debut. Aside from Pacsun, Madden Girl, and Balmain, Kylie was also the brand ambassador for Nip+Fab, becoming the face of Puma, which reportedly got her a contract worth seven figures.
She also had a Balmain x Beats by Dr. Dre collab—all credits due to her grit at amazingly pulling a one-woman act. Then she launched her now-billion-dollar makeup company, which she named after herself, Kylie, not realizing this was what’s going to put her name out there.
