Kylie Jenner is one of the world’s most successful young entrepreneurs (người khởi nghiệp) and a popular member of the Kardashian-Jenner family circle. She rose to fame on the family’s reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and as the years went on, continued to attract legions of young fans. In 2015, Jenner debuted her now-iconic lip kit, followed shortly by her Kylie Cosmetics makeup line. Her products became hugely successful, and in short order, Jenner became very wealthy.
