Kylie Jenner lashes out at Forbes for alleging she lied to reach billionaire status

Despite the feud between cosmetics mogul, Kylie Jenner and business magazine, Forbes, over the billionaire status of the reality TV star, the magazine has gone ahead to name her the highest paid celebrity for 2020.

In a recent article, Forbes had explained that it took away the media personality’s billionaire status after reviewing financial data released by Coty Inc, alleging inflation of figures. Jenner, had however, taken a swipe at the magazine’s reason for taking away her billionaire status, claiming its article was based on “a number of inaccurate statements and unproven assumptions.”

The list sees the 22-year-old reality star achieve the feat with a total earning of $590 million, which came from selling a 51% stake ​in her cosmetics firm to Coty in January.

Kanye West, American rapper, came second on the chart with $170 million while Roger Federer, Swiss professional tennis player, occupied the third spot with $106.3 million.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus star, was fourth on the list with $105 million while Lionel Messi, Barcelona ace, completed the top five with $104 million.
