Kylie Jenner tops rich list after billionaire drama

Kylie Jenner has topped

Forbes magazine’s highestpaid celebrity list for 2020, despite editors at the magazine questioning the real value of her business empire.

Jenner sits pretty atop the list despite questions being asked about the true scale of her fortune, with experts valuing her earnings at $590 million after she pocketed $540 million before tax by selling 51% of her Kylie Cosmetics firm to beauty retailer Coty.

The reality star tops Thursday’s list just days after

Forbes published an article headlined Inside Kylie Jenner’s

Web of Lies and Why She’s No Longer a Billionaire. It alleged the 22-year-old had grossly inflated the value of her cosmetics company in doctored tax documents to swindle herself onto the magazine’s prestigious billionaires list.

She denies the claims.
