I never understood the hostility directed at these young ladies. If you question the accuracy of the statement then just say so and say why. But cussing out Forbes seems like an unnecessarily angry response.

The very idea that someone handed every advantage is “self made” is insulting and reinforces the lie that those with inherited wealth didn’t start off on 3rd base and that those of us who aren’t wealthy just didn’t work as hard.
-
There are several people on that list that have had advantages in life but are considered "self made" (according to Forbes) Her inclusion on the list is prompting a visceral reaction that I find odd.
-
They are holding her up as “record breaking”. It’s a special distinction that is even more undeserved.
-
But is it accurate based Forbes scoring system? It seems so. The lady took an opportunity and it paid off. As a result, she fits Forbes' definition of "self made". Should they scrap their methodology just to ensure a Kardashian doesn't receive accolades?https://www.forbes.com/sites/kerryadolan/2018/07/13/heres-what-forbes-means-by-self-made-from-bootstrappers-to-silver-spooners/#3b3d1ba71ca3 …

I was worried I was irrationally upset by Forbes’ inability to comprehend the term “self made”. Glad I’m not alone.

If she's self-made, I'm the Queen of England.

Poor kid had to start with a paltry $750,000,000 and a TV show she had to appear on all the time...Someone start a GoFundMe for this upstart go getter

I beg to differ. She could've spent her teen years partying, getting drunk and doing nothing (like many young spoilt rich brats). But she created a fan following on Instagram, not a very easy thing to do. She decided to focus on what she knows best, make up, lip gloss.
-
Would anyone have bought her lip gloss if her last name wasn't Jenner and her sisters weren't Kardashians? I'm sure she spent YEARS developing that strategic marketing plan, and crafting the perfect sales pitch to all those retailers to convince them how good her lip gloss is...

It's like calling baking a cake from a mix "from scratch."

More like from a bakery.

Right. At least from a box you have to supply your own oil and eggs.
