Charli D'Amelio

How can a 16-year-old make $4 million from the comfort of her own home? On TikTok, of course. Previously unknown dancer Charli D’Amelio joined the viral video app in early 2019. By the following year, the Connecticut teen was the most-followed star on the app and had amassed 80 million followers by August 2020. In just about a year’s time, she had racked up Super Bowl commercial tie-ins, performed at the NBA All-Star Game, and secured a podcast deal.
