It's been a rollercoaster few days for the Kardashian-Jenners to say the least. The drama began when Forbes claimed that Kylie Jenner had inflated her net worth, resulting in them stripping the Kylie Cosmetics owner of her billionaire status.

And now, Kylie has responded to the claims herself.

Taking to Twitter to clap back at the reports, Kylie insisted she never claimed her supposed billionaire status, writing, "What am I even waking up to. I thought this was a reputable site... all I see are a number of inaccurate statements and unproven assumptions lol. I've never asked for any title or tried to lie my way there ever. Period."

In a separate tweet, Kylie responded to claims around her tax returns, quoting the original report and tweeting, "'Even creating tax returns that were likely forged' that's your proof? So you just THOUGHT they were forged? Like actually what am I reading."

The Forbes report, in an article titled ‘Kylie Jenner's Web Of Lies', claims that Kylie "inflated the size and success of her business for years".

This follows Kylie's title as Forbes youngest self-made billionaire, which she held for two years in a row between 2019 and 2020. However, Forbes has now reportedly removed Kylie's billionaire status.

After denying Forbes' claims, Kylie took the opportunity to share how grateful she is for her success, tweeting, "But okay I am blessed beyond my years, I have a beautiful daughter, and a successful business and I'm doing perfectly fine."

Kylie also acknowledged other world events, stressing how her earnings are not (and are probably never) the most important thing to be worried about. She wrote, "I can name a list of 100 things more important right now than fixating on how much money I have," adding, "this is literally the LAST thing i’m worried about right now," in response to a follower's tweet.

While Forbes has stripped Kylie of her billionaire status, that doesn't exactly mean she's strapped for cash. Forbes added that Kylie’s net worth is more likely to be estimated around "just under $900 million". Still pretty good if you ask us...
