With 85 million Instagram followers, Jenner’s advertising deals with companies like Adidas, La Perla Lingerie and Estee Lauder have helped her yearly earnings. She also earns revenue from her family’s reality TV show and the clothing line she started with her sister Kylie Jenner, “Kendall + Kylie.”
