in LifestyleWords By Heather Snowden

Months after Forbes stated that Kylie Jenner is on her way to becoming the youngest ever self-made billionaire, the beauty industry queen has made it onto the publication's "America's Wealthiest Celebrities 2018" round-up.

Arriving on the list for the first time ever, the 21-year-old tied with hip-hop mogul JAY-Z in fifth place, with each boasting a not inconsiderable fortune of $900 million. The list is headed by Star Wars creator George Lucas, movie titan Steven Spielberg, TV queen Oprah Winfrey, andNBA legend Michael Jordan.

Jenner's fortune can be pinpointed to two primary factors: her reality TV fame and her range of Kylie Cosmetics.
