Kylie still world's highest-paid celebrity

However, Kylie Jenner still remains the world's highest-paid celebrity in terms of her annual pay. As per the Forbes publication, Kylie Jenner earned $590 million over the past year, most of which was due to beauty giant Coty buying a 51 percent stake of her own brand, Kylie Cosmetics, last January. This comes after the reality show star sold the share for $600 million, which led to her earning $540 million before tax. However, in 2020, the Forbes publication accused the Jenner family of inflating figures and 'forging' tax returns for the makeup mogul's cosmetics company and alleged them of faking their billionaire status.
