The teenager is also an efficient businesswoman with a net worth of $5 million owing to a fashion line that she owns with Kendall at PacSun, Life & Style Weekly reported. She also gets a large sum from the various products she endorses.

On the other hand, Kendall has already made her mark in the runway modeling industry and is considered as one of the most successful models in the world of present times with brands like Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel, Marc Jacobs and Balmain in her kitty. She is currently the face of Estee Lauder.
