After the latest episode of the reality TV show The Kardashians , American reality TV star Kylie Jenner (25 years old) was criticized by the public. The reason is that she visited a cosmetics production line of her brand, located in Milan (Italy), but Kylie did not comply with basic hygiene standards.
Specifically, Kylie Jenner did not use any protective equipment such as gloves or masks when visiting the lab. Kylie also left her hair loose, while the working principles in the lab require those present to tie their hair neatly, wear a hood, mask and gloves.
Kylie didn’t wear gloves, but she still mixed the ingredients for some of her products herself. At one point, she even held a cup of ingredients up to her mouth and said, “I want to drink all of this.”
Kylie’s actions were meant to show excitement, but for viewers of The Kardashians show, Kylie as a cosmetics business owner did not show her professionalism.
In another scene, Kylie uses a spoon to scoop out a small amount of product to test on her hand, then puts the spoon that just touched her skin back into the cup containing the ingredients. These details attract a lot of comments from netizens.
The cosmetics business is a field that was thought to have made Kylie the youngest billionaire in the world. However, in March 2019, Forbes magazine (USA) withdrew the title of youngest billionaire in the world that the magazine had given to Kylie Jenner when she was only 21 years old.
Forbes claims that Kylie exaggerated her business success and was dishonest in her cosmetics company’s financial reports.
Previously, Forbes estimated the value of the cosmetics company founded by Kylie Jenner at over 900 million USD. Combined with her outside income, Kylie is said to have a total asset of over 1 billion USD and thus, Forbes concluded that she is a billionaire USD.
However, after putting Kylie on the cover of a publication with the title of the world’s youngest billionaire, Forbes immediately withdrew this title and said that Kylie Jenner was not a billionaire, she had exaggerated the company’s sales and profits and the amount of assets that Kylie actually owned was only about 900 million USD.
In response to this scandal, Kylie Jenner once spoke out: ” All I see is a series of inaccurate statements and unsubstantiated comments. I have never asked for any title, nor have I ever intentionally lied to gain any title .”
