<p id=”par-2_73″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kylie-jenner-instagram-business.html/”>Kylie Jenner’s Instagram</a> presence is nothing short of a cultural phenomenon. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kylie-jenner-instagram-followers-growth.html/”>With 392 million followers</a>, she has turned the platform into both a personal diary and a global marketing powerhouse, seamlessly blending glimpses of her family life, fashion moments, and business ventures. Every post generates massive engagement. While Jenner herself has millions of fans, her makeup line, Kylie Cosmetics, also has 24.6 million followers, and her clothing brand, Khy, has 1.4 million followers.</p>

<p id=”par-3_42″>One of the ways she stays relevant in the ever-changing media landscape is by appearing relatable to her fans. While the other Kardashian-Jenners, like Kim, Khloé, and Kris Jenner, have an air of luxury about them, Kylie has a more relaxed image.</p>

<p id=”par-4_64″>“While Kylie may not have been the star of her family’s reality TV show [<em>Keeping Up with the Kardashians</em>, now <em>The Kardashians</em>], she made herself the star on social media, where she was — at least at the start — more approachable and relatable than the rest of her family,” MaryLeigh Bliss, chief content officer at Gen Z and millennial research agency YPulse, told <a href=”https://www.vogue.com/article/the-business-of-kylie-jenner” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Vogue</a>.</p>

<p id=”par-5_50″>In 2022, a TikTok user accused Kylie of appearing unrelatable. The TikTok showed Kylie trying her infamous Lip Kits while she was in her car. The reality star had the perfect approach to reminding fans that she still does everyday tasks despite her money and influence, maintaining her laid-back image.</p>

<p id=”par-6_43″>“This is something Emma Chamberlain would post,” the user wrote, according to <a href=”https://pagesix.com/2022/08/31/kylie-jenner-responds-to-tiktoker-saying-shes-not-relatable/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Page Six</a>. “And I just think it’s interesting because it’s like, you’re a billionaire, girl. Why are you reviewing Lip Kits in your car when you live in a multimillion-dollar home?”</p>

<p id=”par-7_32″>“It’s really not that deep or calculated,” Kylie responded. “This video took me 5 mins to make. And yes, I still drive and do normal things,” she added with a crying-laughing emoji.</p>

<p id=”par-8_51″>Additionally, Kylie made a splash in 2025 when she got candid about her breast augmentation. In a TikTok comment, she shared the size, placement, and surgeon with fans — and everyone loved it. These unexpected remarks keep her feeling accessible to her fan base even when she’s had past blunders. </p>

<p id=”par-9_78″>Kylie Jenner’s social media journey predates her Instagram fame. She was active on platforms like Vine and Snapchat during her teenage years. On Vine, she posted short, playful skits with her sister Kendall that showed a more carefree, lighthearted side of her personality. Meanwhile, on Snapchat, Kylie shared more personal moments, often filming day-to-day bits like her baby’s first appearances or behind-the-scenes life, even admitting she used the platform to keep a part of her real self private.</p>

<p id=”par-10_74″>As she transitioned to Instagram, that early raw energy and fan connection she built on Vine and Snapchat helped set the stage for her polished, influential presence today. And her recent revisit to her “King Kylie” era has her older fans excited again. She donned the nickname in the mid-2010s when she dyed her hair bright colors and wore street-style clothing. In 2025, she joined the track “Fourth Strike” under the name King Kylie.</p>

<p id=”par-11_40″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kylie-jenner-shuts-down-timothee-chalamet-split-rumors.html/”>Kylie Jenner’s secretive relationship</a> with Timothée Chalamet has her fans talking and hoping for a glimpse of him on her Instagram. While the Kardashian-Jenner sister will post her kids, her brands, or her day-to-day life, she’s never posted Chalamet. </p>

<p id=”par-12_58″>Chalamet and Kylie are reportedly serious about their romance and completely in love. Fans hope that the happy couple will eventually spill all the details about their relationship. Until then, her fans will keep watching and waiting for tidbits of what’s going on behind the scenes. And the mystery that surrounds the couple keeps her follower account high.</p>
