Kendall Jenner Net Worth (As of 2026)

Trackers such as Forbes and industry magazines estimate Kendal Jenner’s net worth in 2026 at $60 million to $80 million. That number comes primarily from three sources: her modeling income (estimated between $25–40 million per year from modeling contracts and campaigns), her 818 Tequila ownership (valued at $10,000,000), and her share of family media endeavors like the Hulu deal.

Some trackers, such as CelebrityNetWorth.com, estimate the value of her 818 Tequila at much higher, about $150 million, mostly because they have higher valuations on her Tequila. The difference lies in timing, as 818 signed a large distribution partnership and investment with spirits company Sazerac in 2026 and analysts now estimate the brand’s worth to be between $200 million and $400 million.

Disclaimer: Net Worth is third party estimates and not official financial statements – this is done because it is difficult to determine the precise value of the business holdings of public figures.
