Kylie Jenner unaware how much money she makes
Kylie Jenner "didn't know" how much money her beauty brand was making because she didn't have the password to her account.
The reality TV star, 27, launched her Kylie Cosmetics company back in 2015 as Lip Kit by Kylie - which only sold a liquid lipstick and lip liner set before being renamed and branching out into other products - and she's now confessed she was stunned to find out the the line was so successful during the first year when she was making millions of dollars.
She told Dazed magazine: "I didn't have my Shopify account password, and I didn't know how much money I was making. I knew it was very successful, I just didn't …
"It really was not, and this is how I honestly feel, it was not about the money for me. It was really just a lane for me to be creative and make other people happy. About a year later, I [got] the password to our account, and I was like: 'What is happening?'"
The publication reports the beauty brand brought in $420 million in the first 18 months when the company was only selling lip kits. The company was renamed Kylie Cosmetics in 2016 and now sells a full line of beauty products and skin care.
The brand's annual revenue was reported to be around $300 million by the end of 2016 and Kylie went on to sell a controlling stake in the company to beauty giant Coty in 2019 for a massive $600 million.
Kylie went on to admit she's using the 10th anniversary of her company's launch to reflect on her success and "appreciate all the amazing blessings".
She added: "I'm coming up on the 10th anniversary of Kylie Cosmetics, and I've been thinking about the beginning a lot.
"With the success of my brand and the influence, I just don't think I knew … I don't think I knew what I had when I had it.
"Looking back, I was so young and I had the world in my hands, and I still feel that way. I'm trying to live in the moment and appreciate all of the amazing blessings in my life instead of waiting 20 years and looking back.

MrBeast says he's borrowing from his Mom to pay for wedding despite $1B net worth
ALBAWABA - MrBeast reveals surprising wedding struggles despite massive billion-dollar business empire. MrBeast, whose actual name is Jimmy Donaldson, stated that he has "very little money" and needs his family's help to pay for his upcoming wedding to content producer Thea Boysen, even though his estimated net worth is $1 billion. Responding late Sunday, June 1, 2025, to a post on X that called MrBeast "the only billionaire under 30 who didn't inherit his fortune," the YouTuber, who has more than 400 million subscribers, took action. He stated, "I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything (I think we'll spend about a quarter of a billion dollars this year on content)." He continued, "Ironically, I'm actually borrowing money from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding, lol," going on to say, "But on paper, the businesses I own are very valuable." Mr. Beast isn't satisfied with only sharing his movies on social media, where he offers absurd antics and substantial cash rewards. In addition, he hosts the reality competition show "Beast Games," which gave a record-breaking $10 million reward to the winner of its inaugural season. During Amazon's annual presentation last May, it was revealed that the most popular Prime Video series would be renewed for a second and third season. MrBeast Instagram profile According to reports, Mr. Beast first encountered Poison in 2022 when she was in her native South Africa. A month or so later, the pair started dating, and in April 2022, they made their red carpet debut together at the Kids' Choice Awards. The two content creators hinted at their wedding plans at the time and wanted to keep the big day out of the spotlight when they exclusively told People magazine that they were engaged on Christmas Day 2024. According to Best, "This will definitely be a warmer, more family-friendly, more private time," she told People magazine at the time. Because of my hectic work schedule, I don't have much time off, so I really want the wedding to be an opportunity to celebrate with her and spend time with our loved ones. It will be the most enjoyable way to enjoy time away from home.

Phasmophobia is getting a horror feature film by Blumhouse
ALBAWABA - The popular horror game, Phasmophobia, which took the gaming world by storm on release after introducing a new mechanic that allowed players to contact ghosts using their microphone, is officially getting a feature film, developed by horror giant, Blumhouse Productions. The news sparked widespread excitement among the game's fans due to the studio's track record of producing horror films, including The Black Phone, M3GAN, the adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy's, and many more. It's worth noting that both Five Nights at Freddy's and The Black Phone are getting a sequel this year. Additionally, Blumhouse is working hand in hand with Atomic Monster and Kinetic Games to bring the film to life. However, an official distributor is yet to be announced, according to Variety. Phasmophobia is getting a feature film by Blumhouse Phasmophobia's official X page (formerly known as Twitter) took to the social media platform and wrote, "Today we are excited to announce that a feature film adaptation of #Phasmophobia is officially in development by horror film powerhouse, @Blumhouse." A social media user wrote in excitement, "Blumhouse + Phasmophobia = a match made in horror heaven!" Another added, "If I don't hear the main character say, 'Are you here, are you close? Are you pizza?' I'm not watching." The game launched on Valve's Steam store in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when many people were stuck at home. Its popularity surged thanks to its innovative co-op system, which let friends socialize through voice chat while exploring haunted locations and encountering paranormal entities.

Gartner Predicts by 2028, 80% of GenAI Business Apps Will Be Developed on Existing Data Management Platforms
Gartner Inc. predicts that organizations will develop 80% of Generative AI (GenAI) business applications on their existing data management platforms by 2028. This approach will reduce the complexity and time required to deliver these applications by 50%.Prasad Pore, Sr Director Analyst at Gartner, said, 'Building GenAI business applications today involves integrating large language models (LLMs) with an organization's internal data and adopting rapidly evolving technologies like vector search, metadata management, prompt design and embedding. However, without a unified management approach, adopting these scattered technologies leads to longer delivery times and potential sunk costs for organizations.'As organizations aim to develop GenAI-centric solutions, data management platforms must evolve to integrate new capabilities or services for GenAI development, ensuring AI readiness and successful GenAI Application Deployment With RAGRetrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is becoming a cornerstone for deploying GenAI applications, providing implementation flexibility, enhanced explainability and composability with LLMs. By integrating data from both traditional and non-traditional sources as context, RAG enriches the LLM to support downstream GenAI systems.'Most LLMs are trained on publicly available data and are not highly effective on their own at solving specific business challenges,' said Pore. 'However, when these LLMs are combined with business-owned datasets using the RAG architectural pattern, their accuracy is significantly enhanced. Semantics, particularly metadata, play a crucial role in this process. Data catalogs can help capture this semantic information, enriching knowledge bases and ensuring the right context and traceability for data used in RAG solutions.'To effectively navigate the complexities of GenAI application deployment, enterprises should consider these key recommendations:Evolve Data Management Platforms: Evaluate whether current data management platforms can be transformed into a RAG-as-a-service platform, replacing stand-alone document/data stores as the knowledge source for business GenAI RAG Technologies: Evaluate and integrate RAG technologies such as vector search, graph and chunking, from existing data management solutions or their ecosystem partners when building GenAI applications. These options are more resilient to technological disruptions and compatible with organizational data. Leverage Metadata for Protection: Enterprises should leverage not only technical metadata, but also operational metadata generated at runtime in data management platforms. This approach helps protect GenAI applications from malicious use, privacy issues and intellectual property leaks.
