Inherited fortune within the YouTube community is more common than you think.
But just how much wealth was your favorite YouTube personality born into?
Here are a few YouTube stars who were born filthy rich.
Charli D'Amelio has made millions on her speedy journey to stardom.
Her TikTok and YouTube videos bring in tons of views.
She's successfully monetized her platform to earn an estimated net worth of $20 million.
Charli may be new to fame, but her family has always been financially well-off.
The influencer's father, Marc D'Amelio, had a brief career in politics.
He ran for Connecticut State Senate in 2018 and tried for a representative role on Connecticut's
Norwalk Public Schools Board of Education in 2017, but lost both races.
Marc has likely gained wealth from his two companies.
His LinkedIn reveals that he founded Madsoul Clothing Company, where he was president for
seven years.
The business owner now runs Level 4 Collective Showroom, which is an apparel sales agency
that "bridges the gap between brands and buyers."
Charli's mother, Heidi D'Amelio, was previously a personal trainer, according to Bustle.
She also spent time as a dancer.
Both parents have become social media influencers; just like Charli, they snag brand deals and
put out sponsored posts that add to their wealth.
They also host a podcast that focuses on what life is like for parents of influencer teens.
Heidi spoke about the podcast in an interview with New Beauty.
She shared,
"It's a place for us to talk about everything that's going on in our family, but we're also
excited to bring on other parents who have kids going through the same thing in social
media, music, or the gaming industry."
Charli's sister Dixie D'Amelio, who has her own $10 million estimated net worth, was lucky
enough to grow up in the same affluent family.
Her path to fame has been a bit different from her dancer sister.
Like her mother, Dixie modeled before she found fame on TikTok and YouTube.
She is also pursuing an acting career, but it seems that her primary passion is singing.
Although Dixie likely benefited from her family's wealth throughout her life, she primarily
credits TikTok as what led her to success.
In an interview with Newsweek, the influencer said:
"TikTok has not only changed my career ... it essentially created my career."
Dixie also reflected on 2020 being one of the biggest years of her life as a content creator.
She told the outlet:
"I graduated high school, released my first single, signed to a label, launched a podcast
with my sister [Charli], and launched my YouTube channel."
Dixie arguably has her sister, Charli, and her wealthy parents to thank for her quick
launch to fame on YouTube and beyond.
The "Beverly Hills Brat" Nicolette Gray first came into the spotlight via a "Dr. Phil" appearance.
The episode highlighted the teen's outrageous spending habits.
On the show, she demanded that her financially well-off mother raise her allowance.
"If you ask me, I think my mom should be giving me at least $2,500 a month, just to cover
my basic expenses"
Long before the teen brought in her own income, her mother funded her lifestyle of high-end
shopping and fine dining.
The influencer's mom, Nina Gray, is a dentist who seemingly makes a decent salary.
Nina's own YouTube channel shows that she lives in a spacious home and enjoys luxury
vacations.
As for Nicolette's life after her "Dr. Phil" episode, she was able to launch a career as
a social media influencer — and no longer had to rely on an allowance from her mom.
Her YouTube videos quickly became hits, given that "Dr. Phil" viewers couldn't get enough
of the Gray family.
Nicolette went on to make money through Instagram, sharing sponsored posts with her 540 thousand followers.
We were introduced to Jordyn Woods through her televised friendship with Kylie Jenner
that eventually ended when Jordyn's involvement with Tristan Thompson came to light.
Many "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" fans assumed that Jordyn was introduced to a life
of luxury through her best friend Kylie, but it turns out that she comes from a wealthy
family herself.
Jordyn's father, the late John Woods, was one of Will Smith's close friends.
He met Smith on the set of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" while working as a sound engineer.
As a result, Jordyn has always had a relationship with the Smith family.
She even referred to Will Smith as "uncle willy" in an Instagram post she shared for
the actor's birthday.
Jordyn's mom, Elizabeth Woods, is also prominent in the entertainment industry.
Per her Instagram, she works in talent management.
It seems that Jordyn might have her mother to thank for the many brand deals and sponsorships
she has earned.
Since moving on from the Kardashian family drama, the model and influencer has focused
on producing content for her YouTube channel and other platforms.
It appears that YouTube beauty guru Blair Fowler has been no less than upper-middle-class
most of her life.
She is the daughter of Dr. Scott Fowler, who is president and CEO of Holston Medical Group.
Fans may have noticed that Blair benefitted from having a doctor as a parent, because
she frequently posted videos about her designer pieces and high-end makeup to her YouTube
channel, Juicystar07.
In Blair's early days on the platform, she received a fair amount of hate for showing
off her expensive items in hauls and beauty videos.
Haters might change their opinions today, though, because Blair seems to be making it
just fine on her own now.
Over the years, the YouTuber's income has come from brand deals, collaborations, and
a makeup line.
Blair and her sister, Elle, spoke about their makeup products in a video with ClevverTV.
"We wanted people to know that when they come and they get something that's Skylark it's
going to be the best of the best out there."
It seems the influencer was very passionate about developing a brand and business, so
it is no surprise that she was able to build her own wealth.
Although Blair was one of the first beauty gurus to make it big, she has stepped away
from the platform.
According to her Instagram account, she now is a full-time student.
Giselle Lazzarato, who is better known as Gigi Gorgeous, is known for her YouTube beauty channel.
What many fans don't know is that Gigi Gorgeous was introduced to wealth long before her YouTube days.
She is the daughter of corporate director David Lazzarato, who has a long-standing career
working as a board leader for numerous companies.
Gorgeous' riches earned her a spot on Canadian reality TV show "The Avenue," which focuses
on the YouTuber and her socialite friends as they navigate their upper-class lives in
Toronto.
Gigi is seemingly drawn to anything that could potentially increase her net worth, since
she has pursued many money-making opportunities over the years.
She even married millionaire Nats Getty, whose billionaire family owns Getty Oil.
Getty is reportedly worth about $30 million, according to The Sun.
It seems Gigi is not afraid to show off the luxurious lifestyle she has with Getty — she
frequently posts Instagram photos and YouTube videos that give fans a peek into their marriage.
Have you ever been curious about the exclusive process of purchasing an Hermès Birkin bag?
Charles Gross has all of the answers.
The luxury shopper made a name for himself on YouTube providing viewers with inside knowledge
on the high-end fashion industry.
Charles Gross removed all videos from his YouTube channel and now primarily posts on
TikTok.
Since so much of his online content has been deleted, it's not entirely clear how wealthy
Gross' family is.
According to Glossy, the influencer's designer parents "read him fashion magazines at bedtime"
as he grew up.
While it is unclear why the social media star switched platforms, he has been able to successfully
reinvent himself on TikTok to earn nearly 1 million followers.
Charles spoke about his TikTok videos and passion for making luxury retail less intimidating
in an interview with Fashionista.
"When I feel like a brand or a certain topic has that air around it of exclusion — 'Oh,
you have to have this much money to access it or know about it' — I think that's ridiculous.
Everybody should have access to that information."
"The bottle of perfume inside this box is $1,800.
Let's unbox and experience it together, and let's talk about it."
This influencer's informative content helps out those who, unlike him, were not lucky
enough to be born into fabulous fashion.
Kylie Jenner's YouTube channel is only one of her many money-making hobbies.
The daughter of an Olympic athlete and a wealthy businesswoman, Kylie was given all the tools
to live a life of fame and fortune.
In 2019, Forbes received a great deal of backlash for labeling Jenner as a "self-made billionaire."
Readers pointed out that the Kylie Cosmetics founder would not be where she is today if
it were not for her inherited wealth and connections.
To make matters worse, Forbes later alleged that Jenner's team had not been completely
honest about her net worth.
The outlet published an article that claimed Kylie Cosmetics was not making as much money
as previously reported.
Jenner's legal team denied these claims in a statement sent to the magazine after the
article was published.
Part of the statement read,
"The accusations that the Jenners, and/or their accountants, falsified tax returns and
then lied about their 2016 revenues for the last four years, are absolutely false."
While there is speculation around exactly how much money Jenner made from Kylie Cosmetics,
it is obvious that she benefitted from her family's fame.
The star has leveraged her last name to create a successful YouTube channel, skincare lines,
swimsuit collections, and more.
Like many models, Karlie Kloss' chance at success in the cutthroat modeling industry
was boosted by her family.
While the model's parents are not big names in Hollywood, they likely made a decent living
even before Karlie made millions from her runway shows.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the star's mother, Tracy Kloss, was working as
an art director when her daughter's career took off.
Karlie's father, Kurt Kloss, is a doctor.
The Illinois natives packed up their life in the Midwest to be able to support their
daughter's growing career.
In addition to their full-time jobs, they made Karlie's career a family business.
Tracy told The Wall Street Journal,
"Although we didn't know much about the fashion industry, we said from the beginning that
it was going to be a business, and we're doing it together."
Karlie perhaps inherited this business-minded approach to life from her parents, because
the model went on to found Kode With Klossy.
The program offers free coding classes to young girls in an effort to get more women
interested in male-dominated STEM fields.
Karlie also started a YouTube channel where she promotes her various business ventures
and collaborates with popular YouTubers.
The supermodel married into wealth when she tied the knot with billionaire heir Josh Kushner,
who is one of the founders of successful investment firm Thrive Capital.
Olivia Jade is one of the most notorious examples of what inherited wealth can do for a YouTuber's
career.
The influencer quickly gained a following posting vlogs and other lifestyle content
to her channel.
Although Olivia has a loyal YouTube following, she is perhaps most well-known for the highly-publicized
college admissions scandal involving her parents.
The YouTuber's mom and dad, actor Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, faced
legal consequences as a result of the scheme.
According to NPR, it was revealed that the couple fabricated their daughter's involvement
in her school's rowing team in an effort to get her admitted into the University of Southern
California.
They pleaded guilty to fraud charges and were sentenced to prison time.
Following this scandal, Olivia Jade went quiet on social media and took a break from YouTube.
She later took to "Red Table Talk" to offer an explanation for why her parents risked
their reputation to get her into USC illegally.
The influencer shared that it was mostly her father's idea saying,
"He was so tunnel-visioned on 'I just want my kids to have a good college experience,
and I just want them to have an amazing education, and I know I can give that to them.'"
The YouTuber is now uploading videos to her channel monthly and has posted about her experience
on "Dancing with the Stars."
