How Kylie Jenner became the Queen of the Kardashians with 103m Insta fans and a £278 million empire (2024)

SAY what you like about Kylie Jenner, but you can't deny she's one of the most fascinating Kardashian-Jenner family members.

Kylie is the celebrity on everyone's lips this week after revealing the birth of her first child (after keeping the pregnancy entirely secret for nine months) AND she's been named the richest Kardashian family member.

On Sunday, Kylierevealed she had given birth to a baby girl- which she named Stormi - after months of speculation.

To add to her successes, the 20-year old has been named the richest in her family with a wealth of £278 million and she's expected to be a billionaire by 2022.

Some might say the youngest Kardashian-Jenner sister is even overtaking her sister Kim Kardashian in terms of popularity.

So how has Kylie gone from shy teen to Kardashian kueen?

Her beauty empire

main source of Kylie's staggering wealth? Kylie Cosmetics, her beauty brand.

Her self-titled brand stocks her wildly popular Lip Kits (a liquid lipstick and liner duo), which regularly sell out within minutes of going on sale and are then resold for TEN times their price on eBay.

Kylie Cosmetics has made her a cool £278 million since its launch in 2016.

That's more that older sister Kim's KKW makeup range, which has helped grow her £127m fortune.

Real estate riches

Kylie has cemented herself an impressive portfolio of properties.

The reality star owns four mansions in LA's exclusive Hidden Hills residence, and she’s reportedly looking at a fifth location on a mountain top for her new growing family.

She hasn't brought the mega mansion yet, but apparently she's seriously considering it.

Her social following

Kylie's catching up with Kim as the most-followed Kardashian with 103 million followers, as opposed to Kim's 107 million.

This is thanks to her headline-grabbing selfies, bikini pictures and photos of her lavish life.
When Kylie chose not to go public with her pregnancy, her social media went quiet, which just intrigued followers even more.

The clothes and jewellery

Never mind what she drives, Kylie shows off most of her wealth in what she's wearing.

The Jenner sister has the pick of designers who are all waiting to dress her; from Versace to Balmain and her brother-in-law Kanye West's Yeezy label.

As for jewellery and watch collection, Kylie favours Bvlgari, Rolex and she famously owns several £5,000 Cartier Love bangles.

There's no doubt Kylie's taking over the world.

The Travis Scott romance

Kylie ended her three-year on-and-off relationship with Tyga in 2017.

This was shortly before she sparked rumours of a romance with rapper Travis Scott after they sat courtside at a basketball game.

Things moved fast, with the pair going public and then getting matching butterfly tattoos.

We know little about her baby daddy but they're still going strong.

Fleet of cars

Kylie lives up to her family's lavish lifestyle through her expensive car collection.

Her obsession started when ex boyfriend Tyga got her a white Ferrari for her 18th birthday which she later had repainted in matte grey.

A year later, Kylie bought herself a $200K Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography Edition.

After that, Kylie bought the most talked-about car at the 011 Geneva Motor Show: the $400K Lamborghini Aventador in orange.

Kylie Jenner also owns a Rolls-Royce collection priced at $320k.

The evidence is there that Kylie Jenner's fortune, social following and popularity are on a steady rise.

Especially taking into consideration her growing family and property empire.

Maybe Kylie is overtaking Kim as the Kardashian-Jenner sister to know about?

Either way, there's no doubt Kylie's taking over the world.
