Happy birthday Kylie Jenner: family background
Kylie is the younger daughter of Kris Jenner and Olympic champion Caitlyn Jenner. Her full sister is model Kendall Jenner. Through her mother, she has four older half-siblings: Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob Kardashian. Through Caitlyn, she has more half-siblings from Caitlyn’s earlier marriages.
She grew up in Calabasas and was home-schooled for part of her teenage years, as filming and work took up more of her time. She and Kendall, who is less than two years older, grew up on camera together and later worked on many projects as a pair, from a clothing line to a novel series.
Career and reality TV
Kylie was only nine when Keeping Up with the Kardashians premiered on E! in 2007. The show ran for 20 seasons until 2021 and turned the family into a global brand. She also got her own short spin-off, Life of Kylie, in 2017.
Since 2022 the family has appeared in The Kardashians on Hulu in the US, with Kylie as a regular cast member. In 2014 and 2015, TIME named her among its most influential teens.
Entrepreneurship: from lip kits to Kylie Cosmetics
In 2012, Kylie and Kendall launched a clothing line with retailer PacSun. Her real breakthrough came in November 2015, when she launched Kylie Lip Kits, a liquid lipstick and lip liner set. The first batches sold out within minutes online, and the brand grew into Kylie Cosmetics.
In 2019 she added Kylie Skin. In November 2019, beauty company Coty bought a 51% stake in her beauty business for about $600 million, valuing it at around $1.2 billion.
The billionaire debate
In March 2019, Forbes called Kylie the youngest self-made billionaire. In May 2020, Forbes reversed that view, reporting that the business was smaller and less profitable than it had been presented, and said she was not a billionaire. Kylie disputed the report on social media.
The episode is still cited in discussions about how celebrity wealth is measured. Either way, the Coty deal made her one of the richest young celebrities in the world.
Why her beauty brand mattered
Kylie Cosmetics showed that a celebrity with a large social following could sell directly to fans online, without a big retail launch. Limited drops, countdown posts and quick sellouts became a playbook that many brands copied.
Other celebrity beauty labels followed in the next few years, including Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty in 2017 and Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty in 2020. For many young founders in India and abroad, the lip kit story is still the standard example of creator-led selling.
New businesses since 2023
Kylie has kept adding brands. In November 2023 she launched Khy, a fashion label that releases collections in drops, often with guest designers. In 2024 she launched Sprinter, a canned vodka soda brand.
She remains one of the most followed people on Instagram, with a following in the hundreds of millions, which she uses as the main marketing channel for all her brands.
Personal life
Kylie dated rapper Travis Scott from 2017. Their daughter Stormi Webster was born on 1 February 2018 and their son Aire was born on 2 February 2022. The couple were reported to have separated in early 2023.
Since 2023, multiple US outlets have reported on her relationship with actor Timothee Chalamet, and the two have been seen together at public events. Kylie keeps most details of her private life off her own social media. For more celebrity news, see our celebs section and Hollywood coverage.
