Reality television star and business woman, Kylie Jenner, who currently ranks No 27 on Forbes richest self-made American women with a net worth of $900 Million is all set to hit the Forbes billionaires list. She is also now on track to become the youngest self-made billionaire ever, ahead of Mark Zuckerberg who became a billionaire at age 23.

The 20 year old ranked ahead of her sister Kim Kardashian-West who is at No. 57 with $350 million and #Beyoncé at No. 53 with $355 million, all thanks to her leveraging on her massive social media following to build a cosmetic empire which she launched two years ago, Kylie Cosmetics with $29 lip kits containing matching lipstick and lip liner. She has since sold more than $630 million worth of makeup.

Forbes said it valued her company at nearly $800 million and that Jenner owns 100 percent of it. Adding millions from TV programmes, endorsements and after-tax dividends from her company, Forbes said Jenner was conservatively worth $900 million. Another year of growth would make her the youngest-self made billionaire ever, male or female, the magazine said.

According to Forbes, Kylie Jenner is the youngest richest self-made woman in America, the next older person on the list is 47-Year old Sara Blakely, and the average age of people above her on the list is 66 years
