Reality TV star Kylie Jenner has been accused of inflating her net worth in order to be labeled as a billionaire.
Forbes has accused Jenner of forging tax documents in order to inflate her worth in a new report published Friday. Forbes claimed filings released by beauty company Coty show Jenner’s Kyle Cosmetics is not worth as much as it was previously thought.

“Filings released by publicly traded Coty over the past six months lay bare one of the family’s best-kept secrets: Kylie’s business is significantly smaller, and less profitable, than the family has spent years leading the cosmetics industry and media outlets, including Forbes, to believe,” the outlet reported.
Forbes first labeled Jenner as the youngest self-made billionaire in March of 2019 and included her in the list again in 2020. (RELATED: Kylie Jenner Named Youngest Self-Made Billionaire)
