Kylie Jenner,<\/a> the youngest KarJenner and one of the most successful celeb-entrepreneurs of our time, recently re-engineered her clothing line, KHY<\/a>. What was once primarily a hot spot for emerging talent to collaborate on collections modeled by Jenner (Dilara Findikoglu<\/a>, Entire Studios<\/a>, and Atlein<\/a>, to name a few) was rebranded as Jenner\u2019s personal fashion label, rooted in her hometown of Los Angeles. It was an interesting pivot for the billionaire \u2014 whose first new collection \u201cBorn in LA<\/a>\u201d featured $490 studded carpenter jeans that sold out within a day \u2014 as she shifted the narrative. Turns out, having just her name on it wasn\u2019t enough; the product needed a refresh and the brand needed a reconnection with her customer.<\/p>\n

The celebrity brand is a revenue path as old as time, with several avenues of entry for those looking to boost their net worth. There are the juggernauts of culture who start a brand for constant modern-day currency \u2014 think Selena Gomez<\/a> with Rare Beauty<\/a>, Ariana Grande<\/a> with r.e.m.<\/a>, and Lady Gaga<\/a> with Haus Labs<\/a> \u2014 and there are those who work their way up to the \u201cfounder and CEO\u201d level, like Alix Earle<\/a> did with her instant skin care hit, Reale Actives. The first set can basically sell water to a fish and will always find a way through, even if their businesses don\u2019t always hit on what\u2019s happening<\/em>. The path to success for the second category is seemingly simple: Go viral, get 1 million Instagram followers, and start your own business.<\/p>\n
