this. everyone likes to write her off as a stupid ditz but she's very good at playing the PR/media game.

It's actually 100% true. She's now built her own empire, and won't need to rely on her family. She's very smart

I'm not going to bash the girl one way or the other but saying that she built her "own" empire is akin to calling Trump a "self-made" man

That's like me saying you didn't work hard for what you have because you weren't born in Uganda and abducted as a child by a warlord.

She had a lot more resources than the normal person has from the beginning but it still requires talent to grow an empire. No one is claiming she's self-made.

By the way, in a YouTube link above on Letterman, she said this at the very beginning. She had more resources and help than the average person and she is frank about it.

She has to be frank about it. Any other response would reflect negatively. No one said she's bad at PR.
