K ylie Jenner sits at a dark-wood dining table at her mother's home in Calabasas, California, flicking through display options for a forthcoming pop-up shop. The youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner industrial complex needs to decide how to showcase products by her Kylie Cosmetics makeup company. She taps her black iPhone X with a silver glittery nail and turns the screen around to show a coterie of employees a vending machine.
"You guys, imagine this, but all in lip kits," says Jenner, dressed in a black blazer and matching black patent Louboutins with bright red soles. "I think it needs to be a clear vending machine where you see all the colors."
What her half-sister Kim Kardashian West did for booty, Jenner has done for full lips. Like Kardashian West, she has leveraged her assets to gain both fame and money. But while her sister is best-known for the former, Jenner has proved adept at the latter. In historic fashion. Just 20 when this story publishes (she'll turn 21 in August) and an extremely young mother (she had baby daughter Stormi in February), Jenner runs one of the hottest makeup companies ever. Kylie Cosmetics launched two years ago with a $29 "lip kit" consisting of a matching set of lipstick and lip liner, and has sold more than $630 million worth of makeup since, including an estimated $330 million in 2017. Even using a conservative multiple, and applying our standard 20% discount, Forbes values her company, which has since added other cosmetics like eye shadow and concealer, at nearly $800 million. Jenner owns 100% of it.

LOL.

I”m not “bashing capitalism” you moron. Was PT Barnum bashing capitalism when he said “A sucker is born every minute.”?
THAT was my point, but then again, you apparently are too dumb to get it.
Now go back to watching the Kardashians. You”ll feel much better. Idiot.
I admire you for both...................
Aw, thanks. I’ve always had strong fingernails. I could type 55 words per minute on a manual typewriter in high school, even when my nails were really long.
This week, I’m using purple polish to match the Webelos Adventure Camp Staff t-shirt. (In the first session, Monday and Tuesday, only one, female adult noticed how great they look, but oh well.)
Skank...period
Melania Trump was a nude model. Do you think she’s a skank?
He taught my older sister...who was a great typist.,
I was like 18 words a minute....with errors. Ha!!
He never let me forget that...my sister was 60 words a minute....Ha!!
Only until the early/late 80's....did I become a decent typist.
Manuals were slower. “Typist” isn’t even a job anymore, with the result that most documents are a mess.
I like naked girls probably more than you do.
For the record
I accept that without argument. I’m just curious as to whether all naked women (other than one’s wife, in private) are “skanks,” or whether you make distinctions.
I thought that was Office Space...
I think war daddy is pretty honest. I also think he has positive feelings about naked women and positive feelings about one’s wife.
In other words, I think he’s a regular guy and a white hat.
I think wardaddy is a decent guy, too. I’m just trying to clarify his feelings about “skanks,” in the context of this article, because I’m the kind of person who does that. My feelings won’t be hurt if he ignores me ;-).
I don’t think war daddy will ignore you.
I won’t ignore you either!
Oh, sometimes people have taken an interest in a different thread, or they’ve gone to bed, and tomorrow is a whole new news day.
You are the biggest liberal in the country. You make Bernie Sanders blush. You have mentioned how you admired Maxine Waters and I ignored that cuz you said you were drunk. But to bash capitalism is too far.
I wouldn’t give her two bits for an autographed, nude photo of herself.
Kylie’s not a skank.
I’m always impressed by business success even if I’m not enamoured of the person who gets it.
