Over the past few years, Liza Koshy has created an online empire, and she did it all simply
by being herself.
But after taking a break from YouTube, she came back with a bang, landing at the number
one spot on the sites trending page with her ode to 99 cent stores around the world.
And while her new song may be called Dollar Store, she lives a lifestyle that you can’t
just buy for only a dollar.
She recently moved into a beautiful new apartment that includes some healthy looking fake plants,
a home office for making videos and an incredible hot tub… well it’s not really
a hot tub…
And while she loves to sing and dance in her car, when she’s in her apartment, she rides
around in style on a Segway…
Although Liza may be making a lot more than she used to, and more than most people, you
can drop four quarters into an empty bucket aka you can bet your bottom dollar that it
hasn’t changed Liza one bit.
She just loves to shop at the dollar store.
I know Liza is the queen of puns but I got inspired watching her videos…
Liza Koshy’s online presence has resulted in a reported net worth of over 4 million
dollars according to Moneyinc.com.
And while she googled her net worth back in 2017:
It looks like those same websites she was scanning, have doubled her value.
But even with all of that money, Liza lives a surprisingly normal lifestyle.
In fact, you might actually feel good about yourself after watching this video!
What’s going on good people in the comment section?
I hope you’re having one Hecht of a day, my name is Jeremy Hecht here for you on the
rich life, and today we’ll be documenting the financial come up of none other than Liza
Koshy.
If you’re new here, I’m the LA host for this channel and people still don't believe,
that Michael and I aren’t related so I’m gonna have to bring out my birth certificate
in one of these video!
We’ve covered Lonzo Ball and Mr. Beast recently and we’re going to continue to make these
videos to show how some of your favortite celebrities created their dream lives in hopes
to inspire you to do it yourself.
Let us know who else we should cover in the comments down below and like we always do,
we’ll pose a question for you now, and you’ve gotta stick around until the end of the video
to find out the answer!
Today’s question is:
What is the average cost of a Turtle?
It’ll make sense later on in the video!
Alright, let’s get into the video
Liza Koshy was born in Houston, Texas on March 31, 1996, so depending on when this video
comes out, Happy Birthday Liza!
From kindergarten to 5th grade, she was in the dual language program at her school where
she also learned Spanish.
After graduating from high school, she started to study marketing at the University of Houston,
and although she dropped out of school, she must have learned something in the classroom,
because she was able to create a career by marketing her brand to levels that not many
personalities online have ever done.
In 2013, she started posting videos to Vine and by the time the app passed away, she was
sitting at 7 MILLION…
I had to look at my fingers…
7 million followers…
Not bad.
She moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams of making content full time and began posting
on YouTube weekly.
She even has a map of Houston to Hollywood on a mural in her room.
Her high energy videos and outrageous amount of puns eventually landed her more than 16
million subscribers and over a billion views, plus more than 7 million on her second channel.
Oh, and a sitdown with Barack Obama, plus a red carpet interview with Rihanna.
So, as you can guess, the YouTube money coming in was pretty good.
Plus, she even had her own YouTube premium show called Liza on Demand.
She has also made money through traditional media as well, appearing as the host of MTV’s
TRL and as the host of Nickelodeon’s revival of its show Double Dare.
She’s also made some appearances in movies like Tyler Perry’s Boo!
And the TV show Freakish as Violet Adams.
And she’s worked on brand deals with companies like Beats By Dre.
On top of all that, Liza has an extremely successful merch line.
But while many YouTubers like Mr. Beast spend an insane amount of money on their video
production, Liza really doesn’t have to.
While her camera and editing quality is always high, besides her recent music video, which
looked pretty expensive to produce, her personality is so vibrant that she can get away just sitting
and talking to a camera for a lot of her videos and still have it be more entertaining than
most people.
So if she’s not spending money on her videos, then what’s she buying?
Well to tell you the truth, it doesn’t seem like much at all.
After going through her Instagram and searching online for hours, it doesn’t seem like Liza’s
persona online of being a dollar store queen, is much of a stretch.
Honestly, if anything, this video should be inspiration for being financially smart
no matter how much you make, and to remain true to yourself even with the fame.
Some of her most popular videos have been her Dollar store adventures, where she has
bought everything from picture frames that contain random family portraits, to fake college
degrees.
But she also knows to thrift shop and like a relief pitcher coming into a baseball game
and giving his team a win, Liza knows how to make a great save.
I was thinking though, if you buy second hand clothes, wear them and then bring them to
a new second hand store, are they technically third hand items?
Just a thought…
When Liza thrifts, she buys things like this Nike hoodie for 12.99
Steve Madden shoes for 12.99 that don’t even fit her just because they’re a great
price.
This Calvin Klein hoodie for $6.99
Plus a bunch of other random jackets and sweaters.
It seems like Liza’s more interested in a great deal than if the clothes actually
fit her or not.
She’s also addicted to Target, and I don’t think she means hitting bullseyes
in archery…
Sorry that was a bad one.
I was just so inspired by the amount of puns Liza uses in her videos
But regardless of where she’s buying her clothes, her stylist seems to know what he’s doing
And based on this Instagram caption, it looks like she would rather take off her heels than
buy a new pair to put on, it still does seem like she has a lot of shoes though.
Looks like now she’ll have an Air Force...
None.
Am I right?
Am I right ladies?
She recently bought two turtles, which can actually cost between 10 and 100 dollars
and knowing Liza’s spending habbit, I feel like she went with the cheapest ones possible.
But now you know the range of how much turtles can cost, and there the answer to the question
from the beginning of the video.
And based on her Instagram, she also likes her coffee.
But honestly, that’s pretty much it.
It seems like Liza lives a pretty normal life.
Plus, if she doesn’t get free clothes from the 99 cent store for life, for basically
advertising their store with a whole song, then I’d be disappointed.
It seemed like Liza was going through a lot this year and was working on herself.
I’m just so glad to see the YouTube community embracing her back and understanding that
she was going through a hard time.
And if anything, this is another reminder to people on here that just because someone’s
life looks perfect, it doesn’t mean that they are happy all the time or that they have
no problems, because that’s probably not true.
So Liza, we’re glad to see you’re in a better space mentally and we’re ready for
some more amazing content content.
But as for this video.
That’s all I have.
