Early Life
Kylie Kristen Jenner was born on August 10, 1997, in Los Angeles, California. She is the daughter of Kris Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner (formerly Bruce Jenner), and the younger sister of Kendall Jenner. She also has older half-siblings Kourtney, Kim, Khloé Kardashian, and Rob Kardashian from her mother's previous marriage. Jenner attended Sierra Canyon School before later being homeschooled, graduating in July 2015.
Television Career
Jenner first appeared on the E! reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which premiered in 2007 when she was nine years old. The show followed the daily lives of the Kardashian-Jenner family and ran for 20 seasons, concluding in 2021. Jenner was a central cast member throughout the series. She also starred in her own spin-off series, Life of Kylie, which aired on E! in 2017 and documented her personal and professional life. The family subsequently moved to Hulu, where the series The Kardashians premiered in 2022, with Jenner continuing as a main cast member.
Business Ventures
In 2015, Jenner launched Kylie Lip Kits, a line of liquid lipsticks and lip liners that sold out rapidly upon release. The brand was subsequently rebranded as Kylie Cosmetics in 2016 and expanded to include a broader range of makeup products. In November 2019, Jenner sold a 51 percent majority stake in Kylie Cosmetics to Coty Inc., a global beauty company, in a deal valued at approximately $600 million. Jenner retained a 49 percent stake in the company. She later launched Kylie Skin, a skincare line, in 2019, and Kylie Baby, a line of baby and toddler products, in 2021.
Media Presence and Influence
Jenner has maintained a substantial presence on social media platforms, particularly Instagram, where she has accumulated hundreds of millions of followers. She has appeared on the covers of numerous international magazines, including Forbes, Cosmopolitan, and GQ. In 2019, Forbes magazine listed her as one of the world's youngest self-made billionaires, though the publication later revised this assessment in 2020, citing questions about the accuracy of financial documentation provided by Jenner's representatives. Jenner has also appeared in various advertising campaigns and collaborated with fashion and beauty brands.
Personal Life
Jenner has one daughter, Stormi Webster, born on February 1, 2018, and one son, born on February 2, 2022, whose name was later announced as Aire Webster. Both children are with rapper Travis Scott (Jacques Berman Webster II), with whom Jenner has maintained an on-and-off relationship since 2017. In early media coverage, her son was initially named Wolf Webster before the family announced a name change. Jenner has spoken publicly about her experiences with body image and confidence in various interviews.
Philanthropy
Jenner has participated in various charitable efforts over the years. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, she donated $1 million to purchase personal protective equipment for healthcare workers. She has also supported organizations focused on children's health and anti-bullying initiatives.
