Kylie Jenner called out Forbes for their "inaccurate statements and unproven assumptions" regarding their reporting on her losing her billionaire status.

Kylie Jenner is in disbelief after Forbes reported that she is no longer a billionaire and is wrapped up in a "web of lies." Last year, Kylie was declared “The Youngest Self-Made Billionaire Ever" by Forbes after selling a stake of Kylie Cosmetics to Coty Inc., valuing her company at $1.2 billion. However, on Friday (May 29th), the business publication accused Kylie of "lying about company figures and forging tax returns," thus "exaggerating" her wealth.

Kylie later responded on Twitter to the publication's claims shortly after the piece dropped. "What am i even waking up to," she wrote. "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."

"'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."

However, Kylie's not going to dwell on the alleged inaccuracies in the Forbes' article. "But okay," she wrote. "She i am blessed beyond my years, i have a beautiful daughter, and a successful business and i’m doing perfectly fine." She also pointed out that there is "a list of 100 things more important right now than fixating on how much money i have" and that "this is literally the LAST thing i’m worried about right now."
