Kylie Jenner faces backlash for being named history’s youngest self-made billionaire

今天呢Sissi带大家来看一则最近在国外媒体上热议的话题，也同时为大家提供一条可以用来讨论的议题和素材。

Kylie Jenner is officially America's youngest self-made billionaire after taking the title from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

‘It’s like saying Prince William is self-made.’

金小妹已经正式成为美国最年轻的、靠自己成功的十亿富翁，继脸书创始人Mark Zuckerberg之后。

But the 21-year-old star faced backlash from critics, who have claimed that it is wrong to call her 'self-made' because of her family's status.

face 面临

backlash 强烈抵制

critics 评论家，批评者

self-made 靠自己力量成功的

正是因为self-made(靠自己力量成功的)的这个单词，Kylie引来了非常多的批评，鉴于她的家族的社会地位.

Kylie was given the title on Tuesday after months of speculation about her worth, when Forbes unveiled its annual billionaires list.

speculation 推测

unveil 揭开

annual 年度

At 21, Kylie is both the youngest self-made billionaire and the youngest billionaire on the Forbes Young Billionaire list.

21岁的金小妹是最年轻的白手起家的十亿富翁，也同时是福布斯榜上最年轻的十亿富翁。

Kylie has earned her fortune through her wildly successful Kylie Cosmetics brand. She owns 100 per cent of the company.

Kylie has overtaken Zuckerberg, who was 23 when he made his first billion 11 years ago in 2008 thanks to social network Facebook.

overtake 赶上

But many took issue with the 'self-made' description, with YouTube star Tyler Oakley replying: 'We're not doing this and you're not gonna either.'

'Haven't we gone over this? Self-made: Having succeeded in life unaided,' added Dictionary.

'It's not self-made, it's because her sister made a sex tape,' said Piers Morgan, referencing Kim Kardashian's explicit video with Ray J.

unaided 未受到协助的

Lindi Ortega argued that saying Kylie is self-made was akin to saying 'Prince William is self-made'.

'Self-made to me implies came from nothing,' she wrote. 'She capitalized on pre-existing fame due to being part of a wealthy socialite famous family. That fame catapulted her success.'

socialite 社会名流

However, many fans stood up for Kylie and the news of her fortune, saying she may be not be 'self-made' but it is still a massive achievement for her.

不过，金小妹的粉丝们还是站出来为她讲话，说即使不是完全靠自己，但也是巨大的成功。

They also pointed out that if it were easy for her family to become billionaires, all of the wealthy sisters would have done it.

point out 指出

粉丝们说，如果成为十亿富翁是那么容易的事情，那么她们家的姐妹们岂不是都是十亿富翁。

Kylie's cosmetics brand was founded in 2015 with her own money, and the company is now worth an estimated $900million.

'I didn't expect anything. I did not foresee the future. But [the recognition] feels really good. That's a nice pat on the back,' she told Forbes.

foresee 预见

pat on the back 鼓励

金小妹对福布斯说到：我没有期待任何事情。我也没有预见未来。但是获得认可还是很高兴的。这是个很好的鼓励。

无论如何，姐姐Kim Kardashian，Kendall Jenner和男朋友Travis都给了她非常大的支持和肯定!

总而言之啦，金小妹的故事为新一代的年轻人提供了一条发家致富的新路，只不过这是不是条好路、或者是不是适合你的路，就要大家自己决定了。
