    The fake billionaire caught in a web of lies:People lost their minds whenForbesput Kylie Jenner on the cover claiming she was set to be “the youngest-ever self-made billionaire.” Earlier this year, Jenner sold half of her cosmetics company to Coty for $600 million, which was said to value Kylie Cosmetics at $1.2 billion. But a new investigation reveals that Jenner has been inflating the size and success of her business for years and even creating tax returns that were likely forged.(Forbes)

    “It’s fair to say that everything the Kardashian-Jenner family does is oversized. To stay on-brand, it needs to be bigger than it is.”

    Forbes has no right fact checking their own story.

    "Forbes has recalculated Kylie’s net worth at just under $900 million."

  8. Majority shareholder of Coty is this beautifully underreported "family office" disguised as a company. https://www.jabholco.com/

    Close enough if you round it up.

    Forbes' estimates weren't that precise anyway, not like some ETer demanding audited broker's statement when verifying if posters were as profitable as they claimed.
