Social media success runs in the blood of the Jenner-Kardashian clan with Kim Kardashian leading the pack. But Kendall Jenner may have usurped at least one title. She now has the most-liked Instagram photo of all time.

A photo of an elegantly dressed Kendall Jenner lying on the ground with her hair in heart shapes is now the most-liked photo on the social network.

The photo of the 19-year-old model racked up 2.5 million likes in five weeks. The previous record was held by Kim Kardashian whose wedding photo with Kanye West from last year has 2.4 million likes. Kim’s younger half-sister couldn’t help rubbing it in:
