Coty teamed up with Kardashian West’s sister Kylie Jenner in January to buy a 51 percent stake in her Kylie Cosmetics company, a deal that was reportedly worth $600 million and gave Jenner the title of the youngest self-made billionaire. Forbes recently questioned Jenner’s financial records, putting her billionaire status in question. Contrary to West’s declaration that his wife is now a billionaire, Forbes is also questioning whether Kardashian West has entered the 10-digit arena, estimating her net worth closer to $900 million.West called out the financial magazine in April after it reported that the rapper and fashion designer was worth $1.3 billion. West texted a writer at the magazine, noting that Forbes was off by a few dollars. “It’s 3.3 billion since no one at Forbes knows how to count,” Forbes reports West as writing.Whatever the actual figures for the Jenner, West and Kardashian-West family, they’re doing just fine.[video_embed id='1881291']Before you go: Kim Kardashian reveals how she’s finding balance in her life[/video_embed]
