At the youthful age of 17, how much money did you make? Because Charli D’Amelio is making millions because she is better at TikTok dancing than the rest of us, and we are not in the least bit okay.
Charli joined TikTok in 2019, and her popularity skyrocketed—she went from having less than a million followers in August 2019 to have 50 million in April 2020…and then 123.6 million in September 2021. She’s also famous for being a former member of the always-emotional TikTok Hype House, launching her own reality TV show, The D’Amelio Show, and going through a messy breakup with fellow TikToker Chase Hudson and his floppy middle-parted hair.
Charli is so well-known that even your parents are likely to recognize her—and she’s made a lot of money along the way. Charli’s power on TikTok isn’t restricted to that platform. She also earns money from YouTube ads, where she has 9.6 million subscribers and counting. For example, here’s a fun video of her Prada haul from Milan Fashion Week, where she happened to be a YouTube guest!
She also makes money the old-fashioned way: through Super Bowl advertising.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Charli earned $1 million for her two-second appearance in a Sabra Hummus commercial.
Charli has her own line of adorable merchandise, which is frequently back-ordered due to how quickly it sells out. Charli and her sister Dixie will earn a portion of the profits now that The D’Amelio Show is on Hulu… Checks for reality TV program headliners are usually large. The specifics of their Hulu arrangement aren’t public, but Deadline labeled the whole thing the “highest-profile TV series utilizing embryonic TikTok stars,” so it’s a BFD. The show has been revived for a second season, which comes as no surprise given its huge success. The series, which follows Charli (and her sister Dixie) as they navigate life after TikTok fame, was renewed by Hulu in November 2021, according to Cosmopolitan.
Charli’s latest paycheck from Hollywood doesn’t end with The D’Amelio Show. She made her cinematic debut (NBD) in an animated picture called StarDog and TurboCat, where she voiced a character with a very recognized voice.
Charli and her sister Dixie cohost a podcast that allows viewers to “truly discover who Charli and Dixie D’Amelio are as individuals, daughters, sisters, friends, and stars,” in addition to inviting fans inside their lives via TikTok and their Kardashian-level Hulu reality program.
