How Kylie Jenner Is Nothing Like Your Typical Teenager

Instagram | kyliejenner

Whether Kylie Jenner is posting racy Instagrams or stunning on the red carpet, one thing's clear: life in the spotlight is her normal. As the youngest sibling in the Kardashian-Jenner family, Kylie literally grew up in front of the camera — she was just 10 years old when Keeping Up With the Kardashians debuted in 2007.

Kylie's reality is not lost upon her sister Khloé Kardashian, who discussed the teenager's controversial relationship with 25-year-old Tyga in her candid interview with Complex, which is on newsstands now. "Kylie might be 17, but from what Kylie has been through and the life she lives, she's not a normal 17-year-old. Kylie is taking business meetings and bought her first house, or she's going on a private plane with Karl Lagerfeld to take a meeting. That's not even what people do in their 30s. It's a rare circumstance, so let's treat this as a special case."

Even Kylie seems aware that she sped through her formative years — in July, she joked about growing up fast in a throwback Instagram post. As Kylie's 18th birthday approaches on Aug. 10, let's take a closer look at all the ways she's just not your typical teenager.

Sure, Kylie graduated from high school in July.

(Shout out to the class of 2015!)

But it wasn't your typical graduation.

With twerking, synchronized swimmers, and a photo booth, her party was like an episode of MTV's My Super Sweet 16.

She's already a magazine cover girl.

Her Teen Vogue feature is just one of the times she's hit newsstands.

And she's in a serious relationship.

The reality star and Tyga, 25, have even gone on a double date with Kylie's mom, Kris Jenner. In fact, Kylie has suggested that she already feels married.

She dances in the club with sister Kendall and Cara Delevingne.

This isn't exactly your normal senior's night out.

Her new home is ready for Elle Decor.

Really — it's time for you to tour her $2.7 million Calabasas, CA, mansion.

She drives a Range Rover.

Yep, that's custom work.

Flying private is her norm.

Her closet would make Carrie Bradshaw jealous.

Just look at all those shoes!

She puts it all out there on Instagram.

One thing Kylie's popular Instagrams aren't lacking? Skin.

Where she has over 30 million followers.

And isn't afraid to show off her bikini body, especially on a hot Summer day.

Her selfies give Kim a run for her money.

Selfish II, anyone?

She's already a boss.

The shoes say it all, honey.

That's because Kendall and Kylie have their own Topshop line.

Coming up next: the sisters have a new shoe brand. And that's just the beginning of this family's business ventures.

She's getting paid to celebrate her 18th birthday.

Kylie's big day is Aug. 10. She's partying it up in Montreal six days later at a special celebration.

She's already a Coachella veteran.

Kylie showed plenty of skin at 2015 festivities. It made her Coachella debut in 2014 seem like ages ago.

She takes part in star-studded fashion campaigns.

Do you recognize everyone in Balmain's Fall 2015 ads?

And she gets free stuff.

Lesson: age is just a number for Kylie.
