Label Kylie Jenner 'self-made billionaire', Forbes dikritik

MAJALAH Forbes dikritik apabila melabel Kylie Jenner sebagai 'self-made billionaire'.

"Pada usia 21 tahun, dia bakal menjadi self-made billionaire termuda," itu yang ditulis pada muka hadapan majalah berkenaan.

Laporan berita itu turut menggunakan hashtag "#SelfMadeWomen".

Forbes menganggarkan jenama kosmetik milik Jenner, rancangan realiti televisyen dan pelbagai tajaan telah membantunya meraih keuntungan AS$900 juta (RM3.6 bilion).

Namun penggunaan terma self-made billionaire yang digunakan dianggap netizen sebagai sangat tidak sesuai.

Self-made billionaire merujuk kepada ahli perniagaan yang bermula dari bawah dan kemudiannya berjaya bergelar jutawan.

Pengguna laman sosial berpendapat tidak sepatutnya terma itu digunakan memandangkan Jenner merupakan sebahagian daripada ahli keluarga Kardashian.

"Penggunaan terma yang salah akan membuatkan masyarakat kelas bawahan dipandang serong. Akan ada orang kaya mempersoalkan mengapa orang miskin susah nak jadi kaya, dan menggunakan Kylie Jenner sebagai contoh," kata seorang pengguna Twitter.

Kylie Jenner is not "self-made" at all. This is the problem with talking about successful people in America. We act like they did it by themselves when that's never the case. And, with people like the Kardashians/Jenners, they were always rich. https://t.co/ok2gXNA4vW

Calling Kylie Jenner self-made without acknowledging anywhere the incredible headstart she had is what allows people to turn around and look at poor people and ask them why they havent become billionaires yet. Her story is not inspiring or motivating for anyone https://t.co/YMnTSzHlKP

calling kylie jenner a self-made billionaire is like claiming you made soup from scratch because you opened a can and reheated it.
