Moreover, Forbes also released a statement in which they said they had “recalculated Kylie’s net worth and concluded that she is not a billionaire,” and that a “more realistic accounting of her personal fortune puts it at just under $900 million.” However, despite the controversy, Kylie Jenner is still the youngest person on the Forbes list of America’s richest self-made women.
