Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner battle to be richest sister

It’s the battle of the KarJenners for who is the richest sister.

Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner were both in the Top 50 of Forbes’ “America’s Richest Self-Made Women” list published Thursday — but only one of them is still a billionaire.

On the 2023 list, Jenner, 25, is ranked 38th with $680 million, and Kardashian, 42, is ranked 21st with $1.2 billion.

Jenner was originally crowned Forbes’ youngest self-made billionaire in 2018, only to have the title taken away after a recalculation of her net worth.

The founder of Kylie Cosmetics launched her line of lip kits in 2015, using $250,000 of her modeling earnings. In January 2020, she sold 51% of Kylie Cosmetics to Coty, Inc. for $600 million, leaving her with about $540 million pre-tax, Forbes reported.

However, Forbes published a scathing report later in 2020 with documents revealing that the business was smaller than the family claimed for years, estimating her worth as just under $900 million at the time and leading her to lose the billionaire title.

Jenner still owns about 44% of Kylie Cosmetics.

Kardashian, on the other hand, remains a billionaire — but her net worth has decreased since last year.

Compared to her current $1.2 billion, the reality-TV star had a net worth of $1.8 billion in 2022, according to Forbes.

A majority of Kardashian’s fortune comes from her shapewear company, Skims, which raised $240 million in January 2022 and had a then-valuation of $3.2 billion. Billionaires Stephen Mandel and Josh Kushner are investors in the brand.

In 2020, Kardashian sold 20% of her other company, KKW Beauty, to Coty, Inc. — the same publicly traded company that Kylie Cosmetics was sold to — for $200 million. But Kardashian shut down the cosmetics and perfume company in 2021 to launch SKKN By Kim, a high-end skin care line, in June 2022.

Last year, Rihanna was named the youngest self-made billionaire woman in the US — which knocked Kardashian to second place. Rihanna is now ranked 20th overall, one spot above Kardashian.

Now, at 35 years old, Rihanna is still the youngest self-made billionaire woman on the Forbes list with a net worth of $1.4 billion, the same as last year.

Rihanna is also the richest self-made woman in music, with Taylor Swift coming in second place, with an estimated net worth of $740 million.
