Keeping Up With the Kardashians cameras started following The Kardashians star Kylie Jenner when she was just 9-years-old, and later on, as a young reality star and entrepreneur, she landed on the Forbes list of America’s richest self-made women. She's come a long way, building her Kylie Cosmetics beauty empire from scratch, and it's currently worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Today, Kylie is the fifth most popular celebrity on Instagram, and the mother of two beautiful children. Now 25, she has accomplished a lot, hitting goals that many people only dream of achieving. However, fans are questioning Kylie's early success, in terms of how it might impact her future earnings. They're wondering if she peaked early, and asking if her success might lead to her downfall.

Kylie started earning at a young age, when she was featured in the reality TV show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Later, she grew her Instagram, and started earning through that platform. The future The Kardashians star Kylie used to think that her lips were thin, and this made her feel insecure, so she started her own cosmetics brand. Kylie Cosmetics was launched in 2015, to bring lipsticks, lip liners, and more to customers. She said that she turned her own insecurities into a thriving business. The first product for sale was a $29 lip kit, which sold out within moments of being released. Since then, her company has kept growing, although the cosmetics market is very competitive.

Kylie even made it onto the Forbes list of the youngest self-made billionaires in 2019. However, she was stripped of that title later on, as Forbes reps claimed that Kylie had misled them about her earnings. Although she may have been a billionaire at that point, Kylie's net worth was still estimated by the publication to be extremely high ($900 million). Today, her net worth is believed to be lower ($600 million). Fans are concerned that Kylie’s early success might make it harder for her to earn like she used to. According to Insider, Kylie sold a 51% stake in Kylie Cosmetics to the beauty giant Coty for $600 million. That deal indicates that Kylie presently has less power in her company. The makeup brand's higher-ups have been working hard to ensure that Kylie Cosmetics is a major player in its niche.

According to fans, if the Kar-Jenners stop doing the reality TV show, The Kardashians, they may still be able to maintain their star status, by showing up on red carpets and so on. On the other hand, Kylie's sister Kendall Jenner can sustain her prominence by building her modeling career for a few more years. If she chooses to eventually retire from posing for a living, she will always have her modeling legacy. Kylie may find it harder to stay relevant in the industry.

However, for the moment, Kylie continues to participate in her family’s reality TV show, The Kardashians, which helps to keep her in the spotlight. Apart from this, it seems like Kylie has no major plans to boost her wealth. However, rebranding Kylie Cosmetics might help. Will Kylie lose her fan base if she fails to maintain her status in the industry?
