In this op-ed, Holly Fetter, a member and organizer with Resource Generation, outlines why calling Kylie Jenner — or anyone else — "self-made" hides the reality of inequality.

But if ending up a billionaire is a home run, Kylie was born on third base. Caitlyn Jenner was a wealthy athlete whose estimated financial net worth in 2015 was $100 million, and Kris cunningly parlayed managing her partner's career into managing her family of photogenic children, leveraging resources from her former marriage to prominent lawyer Robert Kardashian.

What about my friends whose parents were housekeepers or line cooks? They worked hard too. I then started to see the ways that my family and others in the 1% had invisible advantages that gave us a head start in building wealth. I realized that it’s not possible for an individual to build wealth without support. Here are just a few examples of resources that people draw from when they accumulate wealth:
