Kylie Jenner<\/a> is keeping her title of “Youngest Self-Made Billionaire.”<\/p>\n

Seven years after Forbes sparked controversy<\/a> for dubbing her as such due to the success of Kylie Cosmetic<\/a>s, the Kardashians<\/a> star argued why she feels she deserves the recognition.<\/p>\n

“None of the money I’ve ever made is inherited, so it’s technically true,” Kylie contended in a Who What Wear interview<\/a> published Aug. 27, “but people just feel like the privilege I’ve had was a major stepping stone.”<\/p>\n

It’s a defense the 29-year-old has put up before.<\/p>\n

“There’s really no other word to use other than self-made because that is the truth,” Kylie told Interview Germany in 2019. “That is the category that I fall under.”<\/p>\n

In fact, the makeup mogul noted that she “did not get money from” her parents Kris Jenner<\/a> and Caitlyn Jenner<\/a> “past the age of 15,” two years before launching her beauty label.<\/p>\n

“I am a special case because before I started Kylie Cosmetics, I had a huge platform and lots of fans,” she continued. “I used 100 percent of my own money to start the company.”<\/p>\n

“Not a dime in my bank account is inherited,” Kylie added, “and I am very proud of that.”<\/p>\n

That’s why the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum said in her recent Who What Wear profile that Kylie Cosmetics is “definitely the thing I care about the most.”<\/p>\n

“I learned so much, and I’m just so happy that I’m still doing it<\/a>,” shared Kylie, who is mom to kids Stormi<\/a>, 8, and Aire<\/a>, 4, with ex Travis Scott<\/a>. “If I had to choose\u2014you can just do one thing\u2014it would be Kylie Cosmetics because it’s just such a real passion.”<\/p>\n

But that’s not to say Kylie is without regrets. Looking back at the “enormous life” she had when she was crowned a billionaire, she admitted, “I changed my mind about that.”<\/p>\n

“When I was younger, I got really excited, and I got the craziest house I could in Beverly Hills, and I just kind of went for it,” Kylie shared. “I’ve realized that my life got too big, and I said, ‘Yeah, never mind.'”<\/p>\n

She added, “I think I lost control of my life a little bit for a while there.”<\/p>\n
