Kylie Jenner’s big sister Kim Kardashian West is backing her up after the backlash following a Forbes claim that the Kylie Cosmetics CEO is a “self-made” millionaire, with a $900 million net worth.

While just about everyone on the internet gave the term an eyeroll —including Dictionary.com which shot off an epic tweet and trolled the magazine,” the Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality star defended her siblings, PEOPLE reports.
“We are all ‘self-made,’” Kardashian said.
“Me, Kylie, not one [of the KarJenner siblings] has ever depended on our parents for anything besides advice.”
“That’s how I lived my life with my dad [Robert Kardashian]. He never gave me anything. We might have the opportunity, but I’ve seen it go the complete opposite way. Nobody works harder than my sisters and my mom,” Kardashian said.
According to Forbes, Jenner’s got bank – $900 million dollars to be exact – but since the cosmetics CEO got a head start by being born into a millionaire family, does that mean she qualifies as a “self-made” almost billionaire?
Kardashian disagrees.
“What, because we came from a family that has had success? To me, that doesn’t really make sense… I know so many people like that [who] haven’t turned out to be as successful as Kylie. If anything, I’ve seen the complete opposite.”
After Forbes posted the cover of their latest magazine with the Kylie Cosmetics CEO on it, praising her as “self-made”, many took issue with the term including Dictionary.com which tweeted:
Self-made means having succeeded in life unaided.

Many agreed that nepotism and mom Kris Jenner’s gave Kylie built-in wealth, helping the 21-year-old climb the ladder to success and top the financial list.
