The beauty mogul is the fifth-most followed person on Instagram and is the owner and founder of Kylie Cosmetics. The company that sells liquid lipstick, lip liner, and more is known to be one of the most popular cosmetic brands, making Jenner rich and successful. However, recent reports have suggested that the truth of Kylie Jenner’s success might be different from expected.

Is Kylie Jenner’s success riding off the Kardashians’ success?

According to reports by Life & Style, beauty mogul Kylie Jenner, who recently walked at the Paris Fashion Week closing Coperni Show, has been under hot waters because professional models feel she didn’t deserve to be the showstopper. The insider shared,

Kylie feels like she killed it, and in fairness, she got great reviews, but the venom was flying backstage. The general feeling among the other models was that she didn’t deserve to be there, that it was just an attention grab by the brand because of her name and following.

Even though Jenner is no stranger to walking for designers, including her former brother-in-law Kanye West for his Yeezus line. Jenner debuted as a model in 2011 and since then has walked for various designers, but professional models have felt that she has only got the stage due to her influence. They have also stated that Jenner’s being in the show has taken away the spotlight and attention from the models who exclusively make catwalk their craft.

Models are notoriously catty, but they’re especially vicious when it comes to influencers and reality stars getting spots on the runway because they feel like it’s taking away their jobs and lowering the standards for the industry overall.

The beauty mogul closing out the show at Paris Fashion Week just added to the bitterness because that is a prestigious spot, which gets the most attention. The models backstage went ahead to say that she doesn’t look like a model and can never cut it for real. On the other hand, her model sister Kendall Jenner is known as one of the highest-paid models who has walked for various designers and gained appreciation as well.

Even though Kendall Jenner works very hard for her ramp walks, models were initially angry with the fact that her mother, Kris Jenner, helped her get a spot. Kendall Jenner was 13 when she was signed with Wilhelmina Models, and now with Kylie Jenner sweeping in for the spot that they have worked really hard for does not sit right with them.

Reports claim Kylie Jenner’s brands not working as expected

According to reports by J-14, the young Jenner’s career might be in shambles, especially after it was reported that models didn’t like that she closed the Paris Fashion Week for Coperni. Now, the reports have suggested that there is a possibility that Jenner might be in financial trouble due to her cosmetic and clothing line failing to reach the expected success.

At the end of 2023, she launched her clothing line KHY and later dropped her first fragrance, Cosmic, in March 2024. A few days later, she announced that she’d be entering the alcohol business with a hard seltzer titled Sprinter. Her products under Kylie Cosmetics keeps growing with nothing new as such. The response to her business ventures hasn’t been that great despite being in the industry for a very long time.

However, there is no hard evidence to support that she’s facing financial trouble because, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Kylie Jenner is worth about $700 million. Fans have also commented by saying that it’s exhausting for them to keep up with Kylie Jenner’s brands because it feels like she’s doing everything. According to 34th Street, Rakuten recorded that Kylie Cosmetics’ sales were 62% less in 2019 compared to 2016.

The beauty mogul not being able to tell her 7-bedroom, 10-bathroom estate just acts like salt to the wound. They originally bought the house for $14.4 million in 2018 and tried to sell it for $21.9 million but decided to cut down the price to $17.9 million. Although it has been known that she might not be getting broke, she is struggling to keep her brands going.
