  • Riassunto

  • Welcome to The Big Con, the podcast where we dive into the wild world of business blunders and figure out where things went wrong (or right, but let's be real, mostly wrong) and use the benefit of hindsight and a healthy dose of schadenfreude to look at where there was an impact on either their profit, their brand, or something much more dire. Hosted by Emily Kay, a Harvard Extension Student and founder of the Big Consulting Agency, Dale, a business nerd with an obsession for many things, the Big Con examines the stories of businesses that refused to invest in strategy and where we can learn from their mistakes.

    Kylie's Cosmetics // Forbes Vs Jenner's the billion dollar question
    Feb 28 2024
    Kylie Cosmetics is a household name, almost as much as the Kardashians/Jenners. However, Forbes and Kylie are in some heated disagreement regarding valuation discrepancies. The episode narrates Kylie's venture into the cosmetics industry, leveraging her brand and the viral attention around her lip fillers to launch Kylie's Lip Kit, eventually expanding into a full cosmetics line. It critically examines the Forbes article that reevaluated Jenner's billionaire status due to purported discrepancies in revenue reporting and the subsequent sale of a majority stake in Kylie Cosmetics to Coty Inc. The episode also touches on the strategic shifts within Coty Inc. and the broader implications for brand management and public relations in the face of controversy. It concludes with speculative discussions on the future of Kylie Cosmetics and the Kardashian-Jenner brand's resilience in navigating public and financial scrutiny.
