Forbes recently released a list of world's richest according to which the 20-year old business mogul and the youngest of Kardashian clan is just $100 million shy of becoming world's youngest billionaire. Well as insane as it sounds, the fans of the beauty queen has joined hands together to raise the $100 million to make sure that Jenner reaches the goal of becoming world's youngest billionaire.
#2 Fans Are Collecting Money To Help Jenner Reach Her Goal of $100 Million
On Twitter, people started a trend requesting fans all over the globe to donate money to the gofund me page setup for the purpose to help them reach their goal.

#3 The Page Was Initially Set Up By Instagram Star Josh Ostrovsky
The Gofundme campaign was actually initially set up by Instagram star Josh Ostrovsky, who goes by the nickname 'The Fat Jew'. While it seems like a bad joke but people are actually donating for the purpose and though most of the donations have been about $5 (£3.80) reportedly one anonymous fan has donated as much as $1,000 (£750). So far the crowdfunding campaign has been able to make $2,000 (£1,500) so it's going to take some time for the 20-year old to reach her youngest billionaire goal.
#4 People Are Questioning Jenner's Title of Self-Made Billionaire
On the other hand, people are also questioning that if Jenner is going to receive money from her fans for self-made youngest billionaire goal than would she be able to call herself self-made anymore? This is something that people are questioning as one person tweeted, "She is the very opposite of self-made???"
While people are also questioning Jenner's title of self-made as according to the public Jenner received the platform and a heavy capital to build her empire so that basically does not make her self-made as she never started anything from scratch. One person tweeted, "Im not discrediting her success but hardly self made... sure she works hard and earned her success. but she was given the platform and had one hell of a capital to start up."
