Scott wasn’t the only member of Jenner’s closer circle shouting praise for the youngest KarJenner.
“CONGRATS,” she wrote. “Wait I’m posting this again just because!!!! BILLION DOLLAR BABY.”
MomagerKris Jenner, 62, was quick to celebrate the cover, too.

You work so tirelessly on your business, and with so much passion and precision. As a mother, it brings me immense joy to watch you continue to make your @kyliecosmetics dreams a reality!!”

“That’s my sister,” gushed Kourtney on Instagram Stories. Kendall posted the pic on the same platform with a sea of “Boss” labels.
There was some backlash, however.
Dictionary.com led the charge, tweeting that theForbesplacement of Kylie on the “self-made” listmight not actually be in line with the definition of the word.
“Self-made means having succeeded in life unaided,” the site tweeted in response to the story, before shadily quipping: “Used in a sentence:Forbessays thatKylie Jenneris a self-made woman.”
Many others quipped that Kyle’s success is not an example of the American dream, but merely symbolic of the culture of celebrity.
“Kylie Jenneron the cover ofForbesis nonsense not just because she was born rich but because she was literally HANDED her influence,” wrote one Twitter user. “She steals people’s work, style, and culture. A doctor gave her her appearance, and her mother keeps her name in the news. Businesswoman my ASS.”
“She was born into extreme wealth that most people will never even be adjacent to,” noted another.
