I was reading through the earnings of the most well-known people on TikTok and although they are doing very well it was not exactly the figures that I imagined. Forbes estimates that the number one earner is Addison Rae Easterling who earned $5 million in the past year largely through branded merchandise and sponsorship from companies. Of course, that is not bad for a 19 year old, but it is not exactly the figures we hear in other fields. Second and third are the D’Amelio sisters of whom Charli D’Amelio is the better known. Charli D’Amelio earned $4 million in the last year, which is fantastic for a 16 year old and her 19 year old sister, Dixie D’Amelio earned $2,9 million. How long those types of gigs last is another question and I am not just talking about the concerns that obviously many might have about the future of TikTok, but as long as they invest the money wisely, don’t spend too much in terms of getting a very fancy house, they will not have to work again.
