Dictionary.Com Epically Shades Kylie Jenner Being Called ‘Self-Made Billionaire’

20-year-old Kylie Jenner—a part of the Kardashian clan and founder of Kylie Cosmetics that launched in 2016—was recently crowned as one of the most successful female entrepreneurs in the US for Forbes’ August issue.

While the ranking wasn’t much of any contention, it was a particular description that left many scratching their heads and wondering if Forbes needed a dictionary.

Jenner’s cover photo for the issue was accompanied with the words describing her as a “self-made billionaire.”

It is not shade to point out that Kylie Jenner isn’t self-made. She grew up in a wealthy, famous family. Her success is commendable but it comes by virtue of her privilege. Words have meanings and it behooves a dictionary to remind us of that. https://t.co/2HzIJbLb8q

Seeing as how Forbes might have gotten confused while completing the write-up, Dictionary.com decided that enlightenment was in order.

In a brilliantly hilarious tweet, Dictionary.com explained, “Self-made means having succeeded in life unaided. Used in a sentence: Forbes says that Kylie Jenner is a self-made woman,” before linking to its August issue.
