Last month, Kylie Jenner’s Forbes cover started yet another Jenner/Kardashian controversy with its cover line describing her as being set to become the youngest-ever “self-made” billionaire. The comment sparked a huge internet debate about what exactly makes one self-made and interest in Jenner’s finances has not waned since.

Now, another staggering statistic about the cosmetic mogul’s income has been revealed—and it’s definitely another conversation starter.

It turns out that Jenner is making around $45,550 every two hours selling makeup to the masses, which is almost exactly the median salary ($45,552) for the average American, according to Business Insider. That’s right, in just over two hours the almost-21-year-old is making more money than most people will see in an entire year.

Just to put that in perspective, most Kylie Cosmetics lip kits are priced at $30, which translates to roughly 1,518 sold every two hours to bring in that kind of cash. Breaking it down even further, that means Jenner is making $19,007 an hour which is just…wow. Of course, we already knew that she is absurdly rich—Forbes reported that she made $166.5 million between June 2017 and June 2018—but it somehow seems even more insane when you boil it down to an hourly paycheck.

Online retailer I Saw It First created an interactive tool that calculates how long it would take for you to make the salary of some of the richest stars around. By their calculations, it would take the average American 10 years to make what Jenner does in a single day. And a worker making the median U.S. salary of $45,552 a year would have to work for 3,655 years to equal Jenner’s yearly income.

But no matter what you think about the Jenners and Kardashians, it’s hard not to respect the hustle it takes to build a cosmetics empire that continues to keep selling product at that level—”self-made” or not.
