Dicitonary.com has savagely shaded Kylie Jenner after Forbes named her an upcoming “self-made” billionaire.

On Wednesday Forbes unveiled its latest cover, which featured the youngest for the Kardashian-Jenner clan.

Exploring her $900 billion beauty empire, the magazine predicted that the 21-year-old was on track to become the “youngest self-made billionaire ever, male or female”, surpassing Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who became a billionaire at 23 years old.

Dictionary.com was not in agreement with the publication and took aim at Jenner's fortune being "self-made".

A tweet shading the TV personality, read: “Self-made means having succeeded in life unaided.

“Used in a sentence: Forbes says that Kylie Jenner is a self-made woman.”

Social media users were left stunned by the hilarious tweet.

One wrote: “My favourite part of the simulation is when the dictionary starts throwing top shelf shade.”

Another posted: “You give back so much to the culture.”

A third commented: “Dictionary.com's social media person said NOT TODAY LMFAOOOOO.” [sic]

Sister to Jenner, Kim Kardashian, took to Twitter to share her pride over the cover.

She tweeted: “Wait I’m posting this again just because!!!! BILLION DOLLAR BABY.”

Kardashian was also plagued with criticism over the term “self-made” with fans mocking: “Yes, self-made because she started a cosmetics company that has made almost a billion dollars, she wasn’t handed the money she earned it.”

Another wrote: “That’s cool but there's nothing self-made about this ....Kim your family is rich have a TV show an famous ...if I was your sibling I'll be a millionaire.”
