Ah yes. The "self-made" billionaire looking like a prostitute sitting on her pimp's lap. Such a role model for women.

That picture in the above article is from  a few months ago. The guy in the pic admitted to pretending to be Travis as an experiment to show how easily people can be duped into believing things. Im assuming TMZ is talking about a new cheating matter. I sure hope not. That would be an awful lot for Kylie to have to deal with and well fuck, is Kanye the only one who doesn't screw around on them?

Kanye cheated on his previous fiancées/girlfriends so it’s just a matter of time.

KYLIE JENNER I'M STILL WITH TRAVIS ... At Least for Now

Still time for this plot line to develop before the season 16 premiere...Kris?

Quote

Kylie Jenner isn't going to make any drastic decisions to blow up her family -- at least not yet -- and she's willing to try and work things out with Travis Scott ... sources tell TMZ.

TMZ broke the story ... the couple got into a massive fight Wednesday after Travis flew home to surprise his baby mama and Stormi. We're told at some point during the visit, Kylie went through Travis' phone and discovered "evidence" he had been unfaithful.  

Travis' reps tell us the rapper insists he did not cheat.

Our sources say Travis stayed at Kylie's home Wednesday and Thursday, and the couple tried working things out. We're told Kylie was extremely pissed at him, but she's trying to keep her emotions in check ... in no small part for the sake of their daughter.

Sources close to Travis say he plans to take the stage in NYC at Madison Square Garden Saturday night. You'll recall -- Scott canceled his show Thursday in Buffalo, claiming he was ill -- but we're told the fight with Kylie was the real reason for pulling the plug.

So he cancelled a concert for which his fans paid good money -- and which if this is the real reason, insurance won't pay out so he will probably be sued -- because he had to fix things with this girlfriend?   Yeah no.   That's a pretty lame excuse for cancelling a concert.    It's not like skipping out of a day at the office to work things out.   This is a one time thing.    

If this wasn't manufactured drama, he better have a darn good reason for cancelling that concert.

The K/J girls can pick them can't they?

He said the cancellation was for illness - in any case the concert he missed has been rescheduled for March 10. Travis will probably make the show extra “fire” for his fans.

Kris will not be happy. I guess she’ll have to add a clause to the NDA. A DNF clause. Whereby the signer agrees not to fuck (kiss, touch or blow) any KarJenner husband, boyfriend, fiancé or baby daddy.

IDK.  It seems like this is a way of life for that family.  If not for the cheating and dysfunction, what would they have in their lives, except for selfies, photos, and annoying voices.

Travis Scott Is Really Trying To Sell His “Cheating Scandal” With Kylie Jenner (videos in article)

Quote

The congealed, leftover Kraft Mac and Cheese storyline that is Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner‘s “cheating scandal” must be hard to sell to the fans because nobody really cares. True, the main course of the Kartrashian koven’s upcoming season lies within the drama between Khloe Kardashian, Kylie’s former guest house tenant Jordyn Woods, and dealer of disruptive dick Tristan Thompson. However, while that drama continues to heat up like a pot of greens Kylie’s is bland potato salad spoiling on the window sill. However, Travis has been making his rounds to keep people interested.

In what I’m sure will go down as the clearance section of plots for the upcoming season of Why Does This Shit Still Come On?(aka Keeping Up With The Kardashians), Travis is trying to make his future mother-in-law Kris Jenner proud by keeping the drama somewhat going. After cancelling a show last week to work on his and Kylie’s strained relationship, TMZ reports Travis is back on the road again and ended a performance at Madison Square Garden in NYC Saturday night with his hit song “Sicko Mode” before sending Fourth of July pyrotechnics into the air and delivering a shout out to his favorite co-star Kylie by screaming “Love you wifey!”

(video here in article)

I’m starting to lose my faith in their intense “cheating scandal” because had this been a real Kardashian emergency, tweets would be going up like digital smoke signals into The Cloud and Instagram would be wrought with “Why you do this to me??!!” posts for the past few days. And speaking of Instagram, People reports that Travis has deleted his Instagram altogether, though he’s still active on Twitter. But his latest tweet had nothing to do with Kylie or cheating.

In an awkward twist, Travis’ last tweet was a discount version of Carpool Karaoke with NBA star Kevin Durant that looked like the two of them got lost looking for the gas station after smoking a bowl and going on a munchies run.

Travis you’re going to have to do better than this if you think we’re going to believe this cheating scandal is a thing. Then again, Cosmopolitan reports that all of this hype around their Who Cares? storyline may have been resolved last week. The rumor was that Kylie somehow found “evidence” that made her believe Travis was cheating,  yet it was never revealed what that evidence was. Well, now we know! And it still makes this the wackest storyline in the KUWTK universe.

A source just shared some details about what went down between Travis and Kylie (via People), saying Kylie “had an argument with Travis after she checked his phone and saw something that she didn’t like,” and adds that, “Travis says he didn’t cheat.”

And it also looks like the incident has kind of blown over for the couple. The source also says that, “Kylie was upset at first but seems better. She isn’t breaking up with him.”

Then why the hell are you wasting our time?! You both could have put an end to this painfully uninteresting story days ago. I blame Pimp Mama Kris for not being stricter about having her new actors sit down in a master class with Kim and Khloe, who know how to sell a story no matter how thin and dull the plot is. Everyone knows those two broads are the Meryl Streep and Viola Davis of manufactured drama.

These "news" articles just keep getting dumber. Travis denied the cheating thing pretty fast through a statement so why are they saying they didn't put an end it to the rumors? he's keeping drama going by saying he loves Kylie to a crowd? Something he's done numerous times? These rags are really reaching.

I can't believe she's the youngest billionaire in the world. KYLIE. Out of all people. All because she didn't like her natural lips.

Some things from the article I found interesting:

Quote

Over the next six weeks, Kylie Cosmetics sold $54.5 million worth of products in Ulta

$54.5 million, think about that, in just 6 weeks. That's an insane amount of lip kits.

Quote

The beauty of Kylie Cosmetics, which Jenner started in 2015, is its minuscule overhead—and the outsize profits that go straight into Jenner’s pocket. Her empire consists of just seven full-time and five part-time employees. 

Holy shit, the company is just her, she barely has any employees at all. Just has to pay all the outsourcing stuff.

Quote

Her shrewd mother, Kris, takes care of finance and PR in exchange for the 10% management fee she siphons from all of her kids.

Um, does she get 10% of the billion? Because that's $100,000,000. ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. Kylie is her favorite for sure.

Forbes gets roasted for naming Kylie Jenner its youngest 'self-made billionaire'

Quote

Forbes was hotly critiqued for calling Kylie Jenner a soon-to-be "self-made billionaire" back in July, when she was poised to hit the $1 billion mark. Now she's hit it, so they did it again.

As part of its annual ranking of the world's richest people, the magazine named 21-year-old Jenner, who founded beauty company Kylie Cosmetics in 2015, the world's youngest self-made billionaire. (She took the throne from Mark Zuckerberg, who became a billionaire at age 23.) 

Of course, this distinction seems dubious to many people — including the folks at Dictionary.com — because the term "self-made" doesn't square with Jenner's status as a member of one of a famously wealthy and visible family.

And so we got another round of Kylie kommentary. 

(instagram responses are in article, see link above)

This is not to say that Jenner doesn't work hard or that she has no business acumen. Not every rich kid could've done what she did. It's worth pointing out, though, that Jenner had an enormous leg up when it came to building, promoting, and scaling her company. That's something we should be able to admit.

To hear Forbes magazine tell it they mean self-made in the terms that she did not inherit the business from anyone or inherit any money to start the business they said that she took her own money that she earned from the show and modeling which was around $200,000 and created this company out of nothing.

That's from an interview I saw on the news yesterday.

Kylie's also said she's had to support herself financially since she was 15.  As if she'd been thrown out on the street with nothing but the clothes on her back.  I really doubt she was paying rent, utilities, cable, cell phone, food, school supplies, etc out of money she earned sweeping out the back of a grocery store.  The bubble she lives in is so pervasive she probably even believes she's self made.

I applaud her for building a brand and a business - even if she's just a figure head she at least seems to take that seriously.  She isn't Paris Hilton.  But she is absolutely fooling herself if she thinks that Kylie Cosmetics would be worth $1B without the years of global exposure she received from Keeping up with the Kardashians.   I can't even call it free publicity because Kyle EARNED MONEY from it!

Sure she had to earn her own money. Kris made sure they couldn’t have any real goodies unless they participated in KUWTK.

Wasnt that right around the age when she and Kendall started being homeschooled?

Kris found money making gigs for them... the krappy clothing line... the sci fi books, all in order to make her percentage off them. No one gets something for nothing in that family.

Is Kylie Jenner really a 'self-made' billionaire?

Quote

But Jenner is different from many other famously self-made people - a fact that was not lost on social media users, who have criticised the distinction since Forbes first gave it to her last summer. At the time, the magazine reported that Jenner started her business by investing "some $US250,000 of her earnings from modelling gigs to pay an outside company to produce the first 15,000 lip kits."

On Tuesday, people once again rushed to question whether the label is fair.

Jenner wasn't the child of a soap and candle maker who had little formal education but still managed to become one of the nation's Founding Fathers as well as a successful inventor and scientist. She wasn't raised in a rural Mississippi farming community before making her way up the broadcast world to have her own talk show and TV channel. She is a member of the famed, and wealthy, Kardashian-Jenner clan, and millions watched her grow up on the E! Network's hit reality series "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."

In response to the backlash in July, Forbes defined self-made as "someone who built a company or established a fortune on her own, rather than inheriting some or all of it."

"But the term is very broad, and does not adequately reflect how far some people have come and, relatively speaking, how much easier others have had it," the magazine noted.

Forbes referenced a scoring system it developed in 2014 that is intended to clarify "how self-made" a person is. The system provides rankings on a scale from 1 - someone who inherited a fortune and isn't working to increase it - to 10, a person such as Winfrey, "who not only grew up poor but also experienced substantial hardships." Jenner, according to Forbes, is considered a 7: "Self-made who got a head start from wealthy parents and moneyed background."

While there's no question Jenner does not have a traditional "rags-to-riches" story, many have jumped to defend the reality star.

Last year, talk show host Wendy Williams took time during a show to chastise Jenner's critics.

"We've all had some sort of aid," Williams said in July. "If we just had a hug from our parents that's some sort of something. ... You might say well she's not self-made, but you know what? In the bigger scheme of things, yes she is, don't hate on this girl."

Yet amid the waves of criticism and support, another perspective has emerged: that there's no such thing as self-made.

The ongoing controversy over Jenner's label has only fuelled debates about what it means to be self-made and whether it's even possible.

PUSHY PARENTS AND A PUBLIC CHILDHOOD

The Kardashian story begins with the matriarch, Kris Jenner. She had four children from her marriage to the late lawyer Robert Kardashian and two more with Olympic decathlete Bruce Jenner.

In 2007, Kris decided that she had had enough of trying to get Bruce’s motivational speaking business to keep her in Manolos and set up a meeting with U.S. TV producer/presenter Ryan Seacrest, where they talked about a reality show.

Kim was already notorious thanks to the release the previous year of a sex tape with her then boyfriend, the singer Ray J.

From the start, Kris was the manager of all six of the children — and remains so.

The show was a huge hit and nothing was off-limits. Viewers saw Kris get stoned on marijuana-laced Gummy bears with her 81-year-old mother, Kim get Botox on screen and Kourtney give birth.

Deals were done to plug diet pills, liqueurs, tooth-whitening, watches, shoes, nail polish, jewellery, credit cards and laser hair removal.

At first, Kendall and Kylie played no part in the smash and grab, though they were seen on screen. But in 2014, when Kendall was 18 and Kylie 16, mum Kris decided they were ripe for marketing. The plan was — given sister Kim’s saturation of the mainstream market — to aim them squarely at the Instagram generation.

She now wants to concentrate on her baby and make-up line. However, this will involve defying the formidable Kris, who worked hard to keep the gravy train on track

They promoted OPI nail polish, Gillette Venus razors, a sci-fi novel and a cheap clothing range. Kylie stopped going to school at 15 and was tutored at home, as the film schedule impacted on her studies. Then came an almighty bombshell when Bruce announced in 2015 that he was a trans woman, and later underwent gender reassignment surgery.

A source said Kylie ‘struggled’ with his decision and wanted out: ‘She had no interest in being a part of the series any more. The entire experience with Bruce made her realise it was time to leave. ‘Bruce felt he’d waited long enough to open up and transform the way he wanted, but Kylie wasn’t ready and felt blindsided.

‘People forget she’s still just a kid. Sure, she’s rich and famous and living the life, but . . . she gets terrible mood swings and there are lots of times when she feels like hiding from the cameras.’

She now wants to concentrate on her baby and make-up line. However, this will involve defying the formidable Kris, who worked hard to keep the gravy train on track.

Kylie Jenner Has Several Other Young Billionaires to Thank for Her Success

Quote

“The business would not exist at its current size without social media,” said Conor Begley, co-founder of brand-marketing company Tribe Dynamics.

Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom, Snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey are all billionaires younger than 45.

Each of Jenner’s Instagram posts is worth about $1 million, according to Hopper HQ, a social media scheduler. Jenner’s posts include family photos and mirror selfies, in addition to new product announcements or promotions for blush, lip gloss and eye shadow. Jenner has 128 million followers on Instagram, and plenty of others on Twitter, Facebook and Snapchat.

Kylie Jenner, Before and After

Well if she got booted in 2014, and had had dreams of a lip empire, that would explain the expansion of her lips in the next few years, right?  I mean, a girl's to do what a girl has to do on the road to self made billionaire status.  Can't sell lip products without a big merchandising platform.

Piers Morgan Trashes Kylie Jenner: "She's Not Even That Good Looking"

Quote

On Good Morning Britain, Morgan was speaking about how the "self-made" part of Forbes' statement can be debated. It's a title that many have argued since it was announced last year that she was nearing the mark. Piers is downscaling everything that Kylie has accomplished by herself though, giving all the credit to Kim Kardashian, her sister, for the infamous sex tape that leaked. At this point, it's a pretty antiquated argument if the sex tape is all you're going to bring up to discredit the Kardashians after staying relevant for an entire decade. Morgan goes on to say that the sex tape is the reason why the entire family has become "hugely rich."

He discusses the topic at hand for about a minute before insulting Kylie Jenner, ranking her on his personal scale of the prettiest Kardashians. "Do you know what I find amazing?" asked the host. "Think about Kylie Jenner... she's not even that good looking, is she? I would have her number four on the list of Kardashians."
