Reality TV star and beauty entrepreneur Kylie Jenner is the youngest on the highest paid celebrity (at age 19), she earned $41 million USD just within the past year according to the recently released Forbes 100 overall highest paid celebrities list.
Justin Bieber and professional golfer Jordan Spieth both at age 23 (four years older than Jenner) earned $83.5 million USD and $34.5 million USD, respectively. Jenner’s income comes largely from her popular Kylie Cosmetics brand. Her much-coveted Lip Kits are always selling out. Also, a recent deal with Puma has contributed to her fast-growing wealth.
An interesting takeaway from the list is The Weeknd earning $92 million USD – he’s the richest amongst the top 10 youngest at 27-years-old. There’s also Chance the Rapper, age 24, earning $33 million USD despite never selling one physical album. His riches come from tours, merchandise, sponsorships (Apple & Kit Kat), and being the headlining act at festivals.
