15 Things Kendall Jenner Was Able To Accomplish Before Her 21st Bday

She's reached 70 million Instagram followers, powered down the Victoria Secret runway (among others) and is an all-round style guru for ultimate American girl chic. Kendall Jenner was born into fame and grew up in the shadow of her older sisters on Keeping up with the Kardashians, but before her 21st birthday, the second youngest girl in the Kardashian / Jenner clan has achieved her own success that makes her stand out from the rest. With a slim, athletic physique and flawless face, Kendall was always a little different from her sultry bootylicious sisters. Her incredible success as a model in her own right can be attributed to both good genes plus hard work and focus. Already an incredibly savvy business woman with her own clothing and make-up lines, Kendall Jenner's net worth was already $2 million before her 21st birthday.

Born under the sign of Scorpio on Nov 2nd 1995, calm and confident Kendall doesn't demand the limelight like some of her relatives, but attracts attention anyway. Kendall's epic star-studded birthday bash a few weeks ago was a celebration of one of the world's most famous and beloved millennials, and well document via Instagram. If you've seen Kendall's face popping up everywhere, it's because she literally is everywhere right now. She is a brand unto herself as well as a model for Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Dolce & Gabanna and the new face of Estee Lauder.

Here are the impressive things Kendall Jenner was able to achieve all before her 21st birthday.

15 Started Modelling At Age 14

Let's be real -- being born into the Kardashian clan has certain advantages. If you ever dreamed of being a model as a young girl, you'll know that your parents probably weren't too keen on the idea of their thirteen year old signing to an agency. This wasn't the case for Kendall, the daughter of Kris and Bruce Jenner. Kris Kardashian has always been the powerhouse and driving force behind the magnitude of media that's made her family famous and this included Kendall's break into modelling. At age 14, a skinny but fresh-faced Kendall Jenner was signed by Kris Jenner to Wilhelmina's -- a big international modelling agency -- and thus her career began. The young Kendall soon modeled for the American teen girl brand Forever 21, becoming its new face. It wasn't long until she landed the cover of Teen Vogue in 2010 at age 15 -- the first cover of many big ones to follow.

14 Reached 179cm - 5' 10"

While some girls finish their growing at a young age, often the tall ones do their last bit of growing at the last minute. Ask any girl over 5' 8" and she'll probably tell you she got those last couple of inches in the last year or so of high school. While the rest of the Kardashians are short, petite and curvy, Kendall inherited the athletic physique of her dad Bruce Jenner (now Kaitlin), a medal winning Olympian. With the long loping legs of a middle-distance runner, Kendall loved sport in high school, playing basketball and cheerleading at Sierra Canyon School. At 179cm, or 5' 10", Kendall is inches above her sisters and above most of the female population. The average woman in the U.S is 5' 5", so with those extra inches, Kendall has been able to stay head and shoulder's above the rest and attain the ideal body type for catwalk modeling.

13 Spent Nine Years on Keeping Up with the Kardashians

Growing up on a reality TV show is no small feat. Having those awkward teenage years with cameras in the house would be some teenage girls' idea of a nightmare, but Kendall seemed to take it all in her stride. Growing up in a family that thrives on media attention and is arguably the most successful in the world in creating their own fame from the ground up meant Kendall was born already famous. Inherited fame can mean that children of celeb parents never have the chance to discover themselves, but we don't get this sense with Kendall Jenner. While her older sisters are known for a definitive style with tons of makeup and all the bling, Kendall has formulated a different, more toned down style that we love too. Recently, Kendall went to a therapist to deal with her fear of flying, which was naturally included on the show, proving that she's grounded enough to address her own fears calmly on live TV. Props.

12 Owned the Victoria's Secret Runway

While she's repeatedly stated that she wants to be treated just like any other model, nobody else could be mistaken for Kendall Jenner as she strutted her stuff alongside Miranda Kerr and Adriana Lima in the hottest Victoria Secret line-up ever in 2015 at the Victoria Secret Runway Show. Kendall glowed in an incredible blue, coral and gold work of art, looking like a complete goddess made for the runway. With her slim toned body, silky straight hair and flawless skin, the girl has definitely got an advantage over most of us in the looks department. But modeling success doesn't come overnight, and achieving the momentous success of modeling for Victoria's Secret at age 20 came with a lot of focus, crazy travel schedules and hard work for Kendall. She's currently signed with agency The Society Management and she's proof that if you decide you want to do something, you can make it happen.

11 Reached 69 Million Instagram Followers (about to hit 70)

If Kendall has twice the population of Canada following her Instagram feed, she's got to be doing something right. Business mogul after business mogul has interviewed Kendall on her social media savvy, trying to hit on just what it is that makes her one of the world's most viewed social media faces -- along with Taylor Swift and Katy Perry. We think that Kendall's Instagram holds the most appeal for it's sense of naturalness. In one of her many interviews, she stressed that a photo has to be "organic" to work. The schtick of reality TV could have a little to do with this, as it brings with it the understanding that viewers want to be able to relate to their celebrity icons and get a sense of their actual lives, rather than just see staged pics. Kendall posts tons of casual pics of life and friends, photos without makeup, and leaves most of the glamour shots for the magazines. We think she's got it figured out.

10 Launched Clothing, Makeup and Accessories

Teaming up with her younger sister Kylie, Kendall has achieved her own clothing brand Kendall + Kylie via Topshop. and a jewelry line Metal Haven by Kendall & Kylie via Glamhouse. While the two sisters have different styles, their brand has worked by providing a creative label that incorporates options for different female shoppers. Since Kendall likes to keep it casual and this is what she's known for, her makeup range features nudes, earthy palettes some smoky tones -- just like what we see her wearing all the time. The success of Kendall + Kylie has come from collaboration, using the Kardashians' existing empire to branch out into products that appeal to a millennial audience, and of course, consulting their mom, Kris, for management tips. Kendall also released a limited edition nail polish Nicole by OPI. Just like her sisters, Kendall's not just a pretty face and has already proved that she's young, but not stupid! Her business is booming.

9 Worked Runways for Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, D&G

Who can say that before they turned 21, they'd modeled for a handful of the world's biggest designers? It's all in a day's work for Kendall, whose face is on a myriad of high-end fashion labels now. She had breakout seasons in New York, Paris and Milan at aged 19 and 20 in 2014 and 2015, gaining major cred. Her first walk was modelling for Marc Jacobs, and as her fame skyrockets, more and more iconic designers want her face (and that body) associated with their clothes. The success of Kendall seems to come from sticking with her own look, owning it, becoming known for it and becoming a brand in herself. Though we know she's advised by people making it happen behind the scenes, it seems to be Kendall's own energy that's make it possible for her to travel, stick to schedules and make it around the world as a model without going off the rails -- all before 21!

8 Shot for Vogue and Harpers Bazaar

Teen Vogue is one thing, but Vogue while you're practically still a teenager is quite another. Six short years after signing up for modeling with Wilhelmina's, Kendall has shot covers and centerpieces for Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and GQ among many others. Her face is in demand and her effortless style in front of the camera gives photographers brilliant results. While posing for pictures sounds like a dream, modeling is hard work. Those who work with Kendall highlight how focused she is during a photo shoot and how seriously she takes her work. Her intent on building a modeling career as a model rather than as Kendall Jenner seems pretty admirable, and earning respect in her chosen field is something from which to gain inspiration! Kendall may be young, but she shows that once you know what you want to do in life, there's no reason to hold back. Work hard and get going on your dreams!

7 Dated One Direction Band Member Harry Styles

While she's no Taylor Swift in terms of her dating rep, Kendall Jenner did make a splash when she dated One Direction band boy Harry Styles in 2014. The two little Hollywood starlets made fans crazy, and while Harry is the heartthrob of approximately three quarters of teenage girls everywhere, Kendall is so chilled out and likable that it was impossible to feel bummed that Harry got nabbed. In fact they made a pretty cute couple. The pressure of Hollywood means lots of relationships between celebrities rarely last for long, and Harry and Kendall called it quits after just a few months -- dating from October 2013 to February 2014. Kendall prefers to keep her love life quiet, saying that she's actually quite conservative and shy, so despite the spotlight being firmly on Harry and Kendall, their break-up and the reasons for it remain speculation at best.

6 Became a Published Photographer and Writer

Not only does Kendall shine in front of the camera, it seems she's also got a knack for making it happen behind the lens too. After achieving phenomenal success at such a young age as a stylist and model, this year, Jenner launched her own photography career! Naturally, she started with a bang by styling Cindy Crawford's young daughter Kaia Gerber and shooting a spread that appeared in the 16th anniversary addition of LOVE magazine. Kendall has also co-authored her first novel with sister Kylie, entitled Rebels: City of Indra with a ghostwriter Maya Sloan, to be published soon. Seriously, does this girl ever get any rest? Most of us would be happy to achieved just one of the things on this list! But as the ultimate "It-Girl" there's a reason Kendall Jenner is where she is. She's a businesswoman, creative entrepreneur and a general force of nature!

5 Made it onto Forbes List of Highest Paid Models

This year around her 21st birthday, Kendall Jenner was listed on Forbes list of highest paid models, as well as becoming Google's 2nd most Googled model in the world. As well as that, she was named one of People magazine's 50 most beautiful people in the world -- and here we say we can't disagree. Kendall has increased the sales and visibility of so many brands that it's not hard to see why her bank account would be looking pretty nice right about now. Older, long standing brands like Calvin Klein are bowled over at Jenner's success using Instagram as a way to reach potential clients and customers, making Insta-modeling a whole new avenue for a new generation of millennials. From Instagram to the Forbes highest paid list, Kendall shows the power of social media in the 21st century and what you can achieve before you're even 21.

4 Became the New Face of Estee Lauder

Another veteran brand, Estee Lauder signed Kendall not long ago to be the new face of their entire range. While Estee Lauder has taken a bit of a back-seat in the cosmetics world of late, they capitalized on Kendall's appeal and nabbed her for their fresh new season look. Kendall has already designed her own makeup, shoes, handbags, nail polish and clothing, so naturally Estee Lauder trusted her excellent style sense to bring them up to date with this seasons palettes. Kendall was actually contracted to pick a new color palette of eye shadow for Estee Lauder's new range that represented her look. Naturally, it's a set of gorgeous glowing dusky tones and neutrals, with a hint of smoky eye thrown in for good measure. If you want to achieve that fresh-but-sexy look, Estee Lauder's Kendall kit is the way to go. Here is just another place that her influence can be found!

3 Cameo'd in Hawaii Five-O

While it would've been easy for Kendall to slip from reality TV on Kardashians to an acting career on another television show or even hop, skip and jump over to movies with all her connections, Kendall instead chose the tougher gig of modeling because it's what she really wanted to do. However, that didn't stop her from having one little episode appearance back in 2012! Kendall says that people refusing to take her seriously in modeling because of her association with the Kardashians has actually worked against her. We think it's cool that while of course she had connections, she didn't just choose the obvious option, and was clear on her course. But every reality TV star has to have a cameo somewhere, and hers came before her 21st birthday

Kendall made that happen too. Guest-starring on the American teen TV show Hawaii Five-O. You can check it out on youtube.

2 Became Steve Madden's Shoes “Madden Girl”

Just in case all of the other cross-promotion wasn't enough, Kendall Jenner is officially Steve Madden's “Madden Girl” along with younger sis Kylie. The poster-girl for all things cool signed with her sister to release a range of shoes and handbags via Steve Madden and Kendall brought her effortless style along with her. Steve Madden is a brand associated with elegance, chic and a bit of flare, and has been worn and endorsed by countless other celebrities and personalities (Carrie Bradshaw, anyone?). But with Kendall as the face of a younger set, the brand realized that they needed to shift gears and keep their products leaving the shelves and heading into the streets with a younger consumer market. The savvy of good branding is keeping your finger on the pulse, and at the moment, Kendall is the pulse. As a result, Steve Madden sales are up there. Another tick for Kendall!

1 Managed to Stay the Most Chilled Out of the Kardashian / Jenner Crew

Whether you're a lover or a hater of the Keeping up with the Kardashians, you'll know what we mean when we use the term "high-maintenance." They've got all the cash for any kind of beauty improvement (Kim's butt-cheek implants, Kylie's lip enhancement), enormous luxury mansions in California and wardrobes the size of small towns. The Kardashians have been the symbol of the age of entitlement, and when we look at the state of the world elsewhere, we can see why. While it's fun to peek into their crazy life, it is indeed pretty cray, and something we like about Kendall is she's actually a little more low-key. As a Scorpio, Kendall is a water sign and they're naturally calm yet highly adaptable with hidden depths -- all things that we see in Kendall Jenner. She's proof that you can be young and still achieve incredible success if you keep cool.
