Kylie Jenner is officially the youngest self-made billionaire of all time, snatching the title from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Jenner, 21, was finally given the title after months of speculation on Tuesday by Forbes as it unveiled its annual billionaires list.
At 21, she is both the youngest self-made billionaire and the youngest billionaire on Forbes' 'young billionaires' list.
Jenner has amassed a personal net worth of $1billion through her wildly successful range of make-up, Kylie Cosmetics.

She overtakes Zuckerberg, who was 23 when he made his first billion 11 years ago in 2008.
Now, he is the eighth richest person in the world with a fortune of $62.3billion.
Jenner is the youngest in her famous, reality TV family and the first to hit the billion dollar landmark.
She was surprised by the success of her cosmetics company which was only founded in 2015 but is now worth an estimated $900million.
Jenner, who owns a 100 percent stake in it, has separate income from endorsements and her family's reality TV show. She also owns an impressive portfolio of real estate.
'I didn’t expect anything. I did not foresee the future. But [the recognition] feels really good.
'That’s a nice pat on the back,' Jenner told Forbes.
She credits her success to her enormous social media following which ensured her customer base before she made her first product.
'It’s the power of social media. I had such a strong reach before I was able to start anything,' she said, adding that she sees the company going 'very far'.
'I see [Kylie Cosmetics] going very far. I work really hard,' she said.
Her mother Kris would not rule out that she may sell the company in the future.
'It’s always something that we’re willing to explore,' she said.
Only two of the star's sisters congratulated her success. Kendall, her closest in age, posted on Twitter and Instagram in support of her whereas Kim tweeted her pride.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
