In response to In response to 4


  

          


She was born into a multi-million dollar family. That's a huge advantage for someone wanting to start their own business or whatever.

Her older sisters kicked down the doors for her. Another huge advantage. She didn't have to make, earn or cultivate any contacts in the industry.

I'm not saying she doesn't deserve it. I honestly wouldn't know. If her product or whatever is blowing up and it's the hot thing, more power to her. But the idea that she's "self-made" is wildly deceiving an dishonest.
