However, magazine’s piece Kylie Jenner’s Web of Lies- and Why She’s Longer a Billionaire does t seem to make much impact over her fans.

Kylie Jenner had a befitting response to Forbes’ piece. She hit back at magazine on Twitter and wrote, “What am I even waking up to. I thought this was a reputable site.. all I see are a number of inaccurate statements and unproven assumptions lol." She added, "I’ve never asked for any title or tried to lie my way re EVER. period" After a series of dramatic tweets, Kylie Jenner wrote, "but okay I am blessed beyond my years, I have a beautiful daughter, and successful business and I’m doing perfectly fine." Later on, Jenner slammed Forbes by writing, "I can name a list of 100 things more important right w than fixating on how much money I have".

Moreover, she is more likely worth under ₹900 million, which includes estimated $340 million in post-tax money she got from selling majority of her company, revised company’s earnings, and value of remaining Kylie Cosmetics share.
