What Does "Self Made" Really Mean?

As Forbes officially named Kylie Jenner as the "youngest self made billionaire" earlier this week, many have been questioning what the significance of this word means today.

Many believe that she should not have gained this title over Mark Zuckerburg, due to her family background and the fame she had already gained from reality TV show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians".  Her roots come from money. However, once stepping into her own light in the makeup industry, coming out with her own brand named "Kylie Cosmetics" in 2016, she quickly began to gain momentum in the social media light.  
Now, three years later, her net worth has amount to a billion dollars, and people are mad about it. They do not believe her story should be the one with the spotlight, as she gained most of her popularity off of her family name and relation to the Kardashian family.  It is easy to recognize she came from fame, but I think most people do not respect the fact that she used this platform to make a name for herself and do what she loved: creating a business and making make up.  She has my respect for how she has not only influenced the make up world, but also taking her situation and using it for the best and making something out of her situation instead of just leaning off her family wealth to survive.
