What Happened to Kylie Jenner?

Kylie Jenner's trajectory from a reality television star to a global business magnate is a testament to the power of personal branding and social media in the 21st century. Rising to fame on 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians,' Jenner leveraged her immense social media following to launch Kylie Cosmetics in 2015, initially with her highly successful 'Lip Kits.' The brand quickly expanded into a full range of cosmetics, skincare, and fragrance, generating hundreds of millions in revenue.

A key turning point for her business empire was the sale of a 51% stake in Kylie Cosmetics to beauty giant Coty Inc. in November 2019 for $600 million, valuing the company at $1.2 billion. While Forbes initially declared her the youngest self-made billionaire in 2019, they later retracted the claim in 2020, citing inflated financials. Despite this, Jenner retained a significant stake (around 44-49%) and creative control, continuing to profit from the brand. Her net worth in 2026 is estimated between $670 million and $750 million.

In recent years, Jenner has diversified her business interests beyond cosmetics. In 2023, she launched her fashion label, Khy, which utilizes a limited-edition 'drop' model for accessible luxury items. In 2024, she introduced Sprinter, a canned vodka soda, entering the booming ready-to-drink spirits market. Most recently, in April 2026, Sprinter expanded into functional wellness with 'k2o by Sprinter,' a beauty-focused hydration line featuring drink sticks with electrolytes, hyaluronic acid, and collagen peptides.

Her personal life also remains a subject of public interest. After an on-again, off-again relationship with Travis Scott, with whom she shares two children, Stormi and Aire, Jenner began dating actor Timothée Chalamet in early 2023. Their relationship, initially private, became more public in late 2025 and early 2026, with Chalamet publicly acknowledging her at the Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards in January 2026. Reports in early 2026 suggest the couple is very serious and has discussed engagement.

Jenner continues to be a prominent figure in pop culture and fashion, attending major events like the Met Gala (in 2025 in Ferragamo), the BAFTAs (in February 2026), and the Oscars (in March 2026 in Schiaparelli). In April 2026, she attended Coachella, sparking discussion with a lavish house tour video and wearing Justin Bieber merch. She also made her acting debut in the 2026 film 'The Moment.' Jenner has expressed a desire to focus on her businesses, travel with her children, and potentially have more kids in the coming years.
