According to Bloomberg's research, Kylie Jenner has tapped into the extremely profitable crossroads of teen spirit and parental disposable income.

And here are the best quotes from the full article with zero context. Some are quotes from Kris Jenner, Kylie's mom and momager, others are directly from Bloomberg. Guess which is which!

1. "Kylie was the third-most relevant Kardashian sister two years ago but has slowly climbed her way up the ranks."

2. "Kim dropped to No. 3 after her wedding hoopla was over—and has stayed there since."

3. "Kim turns 34 later this month, and in the minds and purses of young female consumers, she's already been surpassed by sisters half her age."

4. "The girls all are different heights, shapes, sizes. There is something for everyone."

5. "One of Kylie's defining moments was showing up at Kim's wedding with blue hair. She drove herself to the beauty shop and did it herself."

6. "Kylie is the youngest child; the future of the family business relies on her."

7. "Kourtney is 35 years old, [and] I deal with her stuff every day."
