Even among the richest of the rich, a glass ceiling still exists. Of the 2,153 billionaires on the 2019 Forbes World’s Billionaires list, only 12% are women. More tellingly, while 73% of male billionaire are self-made, only 27% of female billionaires made their own fortunes.
Like Hendricks, a number of other female billionaires overcame extraordinary circumstances to rise to the top. Oprah Winfrey is the daughter of a poor, unwed teenage mom and the victim of child sexual abuse. Hong Kong’s Zhou Qunfei lost her mother at age 5 and quit school at age 16 to work as a migrant worker at a watch-glass factory.
Bakalchuk is one of 10 self-made women who became billionaires for the first time in 2019, half of whom are from the U.S. Four of the five Americans are makeup or skincare moguls. Kylie Jenner, who used $250,000 from her modeling earnings and leveraged her 175 million-plus social media fans into a booming makeup business, is the youngest of the bunch at 21 years old.
Kylie Jenner is the product of generational wealth off of the backs of my ancestors
Y'all need to stop with this self made bullshit
YES, EQUAL RIGHTS FOR UNBORN WOMEN and no more child sacrifice.
Forbes, you're just being stubborn and losing more credibility with each tweet. Just check their bio again, you simply can't compare them...
It seems insulting and disingenuous to define both Oprah and Kylie Jenner as “self-made.”
Y’all must not know what SELF MADE MEANS ❗️🤦🏾♀️
Wow Forbes. I get this will get Twitter engagement but putting Oprah and Kylie together and saying self-made. You are an embarrassment of a magazine. RealTalk TedTalk SELFMADE lol rt
How dare you compare Oprah with Kylie Jenner—what a disgrace!
Wow. Putting Oprah and her in the same category. I don’t even know what to say.

Self-made? 😂😂😂
So Kylie Jenner started with the coins in her piggy bank? Or was it the millions in her trust fund?
Wade mocks the real victims of pedophiles. It insults Michael's memory. Lies like an SS Chancellor. And Ophra isn't real professional.
The gall of to mention Ophra and Kylie in the SAME category 🙄
I like this pic much more than the “heil” pic going around Endless love to this woman
America offer more opportunity than any other country on the planet

Please don't put Oprah and Kylie Jenner in the same category. Oprah was not born rich.
