There is no way Jenner would have been in a position to apply that hard work to such a profit without the inheritance.

The myth of America is that anyone can be a billionaire, if they are talented and put in the work. This is not true.

With enough debt you will even be allowed to live in a house!

Self made doesn't have to mean being an orphan and starting with $0. Zuckerberg and Gates for example had more support and opportunity than 99.9999% of the planet (Harvard education, wealthy parents, access to computers, strong network), yet they clearly deserve full credit for their achievements. Kylie Jenner is no different. There are plenty of celebrity kids out there, but none who founded a cosmetics company that was valued at $1.2 billion.
