Kylie Jenner has been named one of the highest-paid celebrities

Following the Kylie Jenner billionaire drama, Forbes dropped their list of the highest-paid celebrities. Even though Kylie ranks as one of the richest celebs, she’s still no billionaire.

Kylie Jenner and Forbes are not exactly on good terms. After naming Kylie the youngest self-made billionaire, they recently reported that the beauty mogul doesn’t have as much money as they believed. In fact, they accused Kylie and her team of lying about the success of Kylie Cosmetics.

Forbes was not kind either, publishing an article about Kylie’s “web of lies” and why she’s no longer considered a billionaire. Can you really blame Kylie for not being friendly with the staff at Forbes? Me either!

Still, business is business! So when Forbes rolled out their list of highest-paid celebrities of 2020, Kylie Jenner made the cut.

Kylie Jenner among other celebrities on Forbes highest-paid list

According to Forbes, Kylie earned $590 million over the past year, not bad for a not-billionaire businesswoman!  Most of this sum is thanks to Coty buying 51% of Kylie Cosmetics, which she sold for $600 million, but still! This earns her the title of the highest-paid on the list.

Kanye West is also unsurprisingly on the list, and, unlike Kylie Jenner, he was recently named a billionaire by Forbes. However, he didn’t earn nearly as much as Kylie, coming in at only $170 million over the past year. His network is worth $1.3 billion.

Other names you make recognize include Cristiano Ronaldo, who earned $105 million, Lionel Messi with $104 million, Tyler Perry with $97 million, and Dwayne Johnson with $87.5 million.

Do you think Kylie Jenner will make it to the billionaire’s list in the near future or do her spending habits get in the way of that? Either way, Kylie is living her best life and doesn’t care about a title.
