How does she make this much money?

Kylie Jenner is apparently the highest paid celeb of 2020. $590M. The next highest on the list is Kanye at $170m. So she earned 3.5 times what he did. Good on her.

But how?!

I know she has a makeup line, but it's surely not that profitable to account for it all?

I need to add here, I'm saying this from a position of awe and intrigue - not jealousy or bitterness etc. Im curious.

She sold it didn’t she?

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 17/12/2020 17:05

Last year she sold a 51% stake but that wouldnt count against her earnings this year would it?

The lip kits, sponsorship deals?

It’s an earn out I thought.
What is their definition of “earnings”. Pretty sure profile from a sale of a company would count.

Who said she made that? Didn't she claim to be a billionaire but got caught out?

Plussizejumpsuit · 17/12/2020 18:41

Why good on her? What does she bring to the world? Utterly pointless people.

No they called her a self-made billionaire, which was the sticking point, IIRC.

@Pedallleur @HollyandIvyandallthingsYule Y

Forbes accused her of falsifying tax returns to make it look like she is a billionaire when she isnt. They said "realistic accounting of her personal fortune" puts it at just under $900m (£729m).

So she's just a multi millionaire.

I’m not a huge kardashian/Jenner fan but she is a mother, sister and friend to people. Hardly pointless. Also people make them more famous by reading about them and talking about them good/bad.

Also very intrigued by the enormous sums.

HollyandIvyandallthingsYule · 17/12/2020 19:33

Fair enough. Means very little to me!

Sponsored posts on Instagram?

What a nasty and horrible thing to say. Says more about you than you think.

Money makes money.

When people are willing to pay hundreds of thousands of pounds for you to share a single instagram post, endorse a product, or make an appearance it all adds up pretty quickly.

SebastianTheCrab · 17/12/2020 19:52

The list, like the Sunday Times rich list, is mostly bullshit. They don't actually have access to people's accounts or tax returns so it's all guesswork. I'd take this with a lorry of salt, OP.

Instagram sponsored posts. She is one of the highest followed celebrities on Instagram, some companies will pay her 7 figure sums to advertise a post on her Instagram.

Thisisworsethananticpated · 17/12/2020 21:01

I thought the same
I don’t know either as never seen her cosmetics for sale
