Forbes has released the annual World’s Billionaires list and beauty mogul Kylie Jenner was named youngest 'self-made' billionaire for the second year in a row at the age of 22.
The mother of one who unseated Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, 35, as the youngest-ever self-made billionaire in 2019, retained her position after she sold off 51% of her Kylie Cosmetics brand to beauty brand Coty Inc. for $600 million.
The deal, which closed in January, means her business is now valued at around $1.2 billion. She still solely owns the other 49 percent stake.
The site also reveals that money from the sale means she is one of just 2,095 people in the world with a fortune of ten digits.
Forbes also addressed the controversy that surrounds the title 'self-made' after people argued that Kylie came from an already privileged background. They wrote: ' Yes, self-made (despite a lot of help from her famous family, she didn’t inherit her business—she built it). And yes, billionaire (she’s worth $1 billion).'
Also on the list of young billionaires are sisters Alexandra and Katharina Andresen, aged 23 and 24, who both are worth $1.2billion and $1.1billion respectively.
The Norweigan sisters are heiresses to their father's holding company, Ferd S.

Brazil legend, Ronaldinho has been released from a high-security jail in Paraguay and placed under house arrest after serving 32 days following his fake passport scandal.
The former Barcelona superstar, who won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002, has been ordered to serve house arrest alongside his brother at the luxury Palmaroga hotel in Asuncion after reportedly paying a £1.3million bond.
Ronaldinho and his brother Roberto de Assis were jailed on March 6 after entering Paraguay with a fake passports
The passports found on them were bearing the names of Ronaldinho and Roberto with Paraguayan nationality despite having their Brazilian passports confiscated in 2018 following conviction in an environment offence.
He told local authorities in a hearing that the document was a gift from a Brazilian businessman, Wilmondes Sousa Liria, who was also jailed.
Issuing the ruling, Judge Gustavo Amarilla said: "I decided to put them in house arrest because the investigation is now well advanced, differently from the situation one month ago."
Ronaldinho's lawyer, Adolfo Marin said the former player had been 'stupid' and criticised the courts for not taking into account his mistake.
'The courts have not taken into account the fact that Ronaldinho didn't know he was committing a crime, because he didn't understand he had been given false documents. He is stupid.'
If convicted, Ronaldinho, who also played for Paris Saint Germain and AC Milan could spend up to five years in jail.

Re: Hilaria Baldwin is expecting her fifth child in September by Chibuzo22(m) : 9:06 am

The 36-year-old star announced the happy news she is expecting her fifth child with her husband Alec Baldwin – just months after experiencing two devastating miscarriages – and she has shared her ”excitement” at their happy news.
She said: ”We are really excited. We just passed the mark of when we lost the last baby … We’re expecting sometime in September.”
And Hilaria held back her news this time because she wanted to be ”respectful” of the current climate with the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking to Extra from her home in the Hamptons, she added: ”I am usually somebody that I share really early on. This time, because it happened so soon after the last one, I had to collect my thoughts. I was feeling the ups and downs of my emotions from what had just happened. Then, all a sudden, the coronavirus [happened], and I wanted to be respectful not to turn the conversation to myself, so I was waiting and waiting.”
Hilaria announced her happy news on Instagram on Monday (06.04.20).
She wrote on the photo sharing site: ”Sound up … I’ll let the baby do the talking because I don’t have the words to express how this sound makes us feel … Just got the great news that all is well and all is healthy with this little munchkin. I wanted to share this with you … Here we go again (sic)”
Hilaria has been open about her miscarriage, and previously admitted she cried so much that her ”eyes were nearly swollen shut” when she found out that her baby had died four months into her pregnancy last year.
She said: ”Even though I’d had a miscarriage before, I don’t think I could have fathomed how bad it could feel to have a miscarriage at 16 weeks. I had to go home and sleep with my dead baby inside of me. I felt sick, sour in my belly, and so devastated. I kept waking up and thinking it must have all been a very vivid bad dream. I cried so much that my eyes were nearly swollen shut. I didn’t know the body could make so many tears. This was a pain that I had never experienced before, and it felt suffocating.”

The Federal government has warned Nigerians to take the Coronavirus pandemic serious, saying it is not a scam. Some Nigerians are of the opinion that the pandemic is a scam and is being used by some persons to milk the Nation dry.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and Chairman of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on (COVID-19), Mr. Boss Mustapha, who gave the warning, appealed to all Nigerians to ensure they take seriously, all the precautionary measures announced by the Ministry of Health and the NCDC to fight the ravaging virus.
Speaking at the daily briefing of the taskforce, Mustapha said
The Coronavirus is not a joke. Please, take it very seriously and listen to the government. Please stay safe and protect your loved ones, nothing is more important. Listening to this, I think we’ve gone past the stage, however ignorant a person is, wherever you live in Nigeria, for you to begin to assume that this is a scam, a hoax or a joke and I think those of you in the media have the responsibility for driving this point.
This is not a joking matter, we’ve gotten to the stage where we are beginning to see some of the things that are happening in other climes. So, we ought to take it with every element of seriousness and for those that think it’s a hoax or a scam, I wish them well, but for those of us who believe that we ought to do everything humanly possible to contain this spread or limit the infection or mortality, we will continue to work day and night and that is why I solicit your support and cooperation in this particular endeavour.”

Re: Covid-19: EFFC warns Nigerians against audio donations, fake healers by Chibuzo22(m) : 8:50 pm

Since the arrival of Covid-19 in Nigeria, there has been lots of donations from different quarters, thus, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is urging the public to be wary of fake charities springing up purporting to offer guidelines on donations to government and ordinary Nigerians.
The commission also cautioned Nigerians against unsupported claims of fraudulent operators advertising cures and treatments of the dreaded Covid-19 pandemic.
The Acting Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, added that there was need for patriotic Nigerians to be cautious of fake Covid-19 “ Do-it-yourself” tests and shun any fraudulent charities offering guidelines on donations to the public.
Magu particularly cautioned against use of unwanted mobile applications from untrusted sources and fake multilevel marketing schemes with mouth-watering returns online.
The EFCC boss said: “The FG has rolled out account details of accredited banks through which donations can be made. Please, note that any other guideline for donations is fraudulent and should be ignored.
“Besides, members of the public should be cautious of online investment involving various money-doubling schemes. We are tracking all those fraudulent operators.”
In a statement made available yesterday by the Acting Spokesperson of the EFCC, Tony Orilade, the EFCC boss also advised Nigerians against illegal “Robo Calls.”
According to him, such calls are meant to scam and steal the banking details of their victims. “Don’t press any number required by any illegal Robo Call.
The recording machine might require you to press a number for you to speak with an operator. This is fraudulent. Don’t press such a number”, he said.
The EFCC boss further wants Nigerians to exercise extreme cautions over the following measures: “Don’t click on links from any source that you don’t know. Doing so could download Malware onto your computer or device.
Don’t let anyone rush you into making a donation. Be alert and vigilant about online promotions and investment opportunities, especially on social media.”
Thanks for the advise sir
