Cool! (Not to say her success isn&#39;t impressive--of course she could&#39;ve just laid back and lived on Instagram sponsored posts and her family&#39;s fortune, but it was dramatically easier for her to become a billionaire than it would be for any other young woman starting a makeup business.)</p><p>Now, in light of <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/01/australia/australia-fires-explainer-intl-hnk-scli/index.html">the recent wildfires that are devastating Australia </a>and burning much of their wildlife alive, Kylie made a particularly tone deaf choice on Instagram.

Kylie Jenner's fans criticize her 'tone deaf' posts during the Australian fires.

Kylie Jenner isn&#39;t exactly known for her philanthropic influence.As most of you know, Jenner is the youngest &quot;self made&quot; billionaire, a title that is pretty hilarious as her fame came from the fact that her half sisters&#39; dad kept OJ Simpson out of jail (very charitable!) and then one of those sisters made a sex tape and now they have a reality show that she, and her (fake) lips, nose, hips and butt got to grow up on. Cool! (Not to say her success isn&#39;t impressive--of course she could&#39;ve just laid back and lived on Instagram sponsored posts and her family&#39;s fortune, but it was dramatically easier for her to become a billionaire than it would be for any other young woman starting a makeup business.)Now, in light of the recent wildfires that are devastating Australia and burning much of their wildlife alive, Kylie made a particularly tone deaf choice on Instagram.
