Kylie Jenner's billionaire status is currently in question, after Forbes – who last year released a story, calling Kylie the youngest "self-made" billionaire in the world – accused Kylie's team and the Kardashian/Jenner family of "lying" about her net worth for years.

The bombshell story dropped earlier this morning, containing claims that Kylie's team forged financial documents in order to secure Kylie's renowned billionaire status. The article also includes evidence which Forbes believes proves she is not, in fact, a billionaire anymore.

"[Kylie Cosmetics] was never that big to begin with, and the Jenners have lied about it every year since 2016—including having their accountant draft tax returns with false numbers—to help juice Forbes’ estimates of Kylie’s earnings and net worth. While we can’t prove that those documents were fake (though it's likely), it's clear that Kylie's camp has been lying." the story reads.

After waking up to the story, Kylie responded on Twitter, condemning the publication for what she calls "inaccurate statements and unproven assumptions."

"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," Kylie wrote.

"'Even creating tax returns that were likely forged' that’s your proof?," she continued. "So you just THOUGHT they were forged? like actually what am i reading."

Following those tweets, Kylie said: "But okay 🤍 i am blessed beyond my years, i have a beautiful daughter, and a successful business and i’m doing perfectly fine."

The makeup mogul then made it clear that in this climate, the contents of her bank account should not be a topic of conversation. "i can name a list of 100 things more important right now than fixating on how much money i have," she said. "this is literally the LAST thing i’m worried about right now."
