Kylie Jenner's Attorney Releases Statement After Forbes Accuses Her of Lying About Her Money

Kylie Jenner was the name heard around the world when Forbes announced in 2019 that she was officially the youngest self-made billionaire ever. The billionaire label drew ire from those who argued that her privileged upbringing means she couldn't be self-made if she tried. Nevertheless, as reported by Forbes, Kylie was given the title for the second year in a row back in April. However, Forbes recently recanted their decision in a bombshell article that accused the reality star of falsifying financial documents and lying about her earnings in order to obtain the coveted billionaire title.

Kylie tweeted a series of responses expressing shock and confusion at the news, but admitted that it was the "last thing" she's worried about. You can check out her reaction below.

It seems the makeup mogul is taking the blow pretty well. I would be taking the news fine, too, if I had millions of dollars and various mansions to fall back on. According to Entertainment Tonight, Kylie's attorney, Michael Kump, recently released a statement on the matter which reads as follows:

"We have reviewed Forbes’ article accusing Kylie of engaging in deceit and a 'web of lies' to inflate her net worth. The article is filled with outright lies. Forbes’ accusation that Kylie and her accountants 'forged tax returns' is unequivocally false and we are demanding that Forbes immediately and publicly retract that and other statements. It is sad that, of all things, Forbes has devoted three reporters to investigate the effect of the coronavirus crisis on Kylie’s net worth. We would not expect that from a supermarket tabloid, much less from Forbes."

The whole situation makes you think about how much research a reputable company like Forbes does for an article about finances when it can be so difficult to pin down people's exact assets.
