How much does Charli D'Amelio make per TikTok video? What is her net worth?

With her large social following, the teen queen reportedly gets paid an estimated $50,000 per post. Fresh Student Living took a closer look at Charli's earnings potential and predicted that she could become a billionaire by 2033. That would make Charli 28 years old.

As others are looking to copy her "secret" formula, TikTok expert Alessandro Bogliari spoke with Distractify about how the young teen's popularity grew so fast.

"With Charlie, she became this image of the perfect TikTok girl dancing... It was trending because everyone was commenting, ‘I don’t understand the hype.’ Then they went from [watching] her videos and to then making fun of themselves saying ‘now I get it,’" she explained.

Adding, "She was a bit lucky because people create trends and funny memes about something. ... She was good about being consistent, but she didn’t really work on that, it just happened. That’s what happens on TikTok." 

Additionally, Charli became a member of the Hype House (though she and her sister left the group in 2020), which helped grow her following.

The Hype House features a number of fellow TikTok stars, including Addison Rae, Chase Hudson aka LilHuddy, Ryland Storms, Connor Yates, and more, that lived together in L.A. and regularly collaborate and create videos with one another. Following the success of the social media collective, other TikTok groups started popping up, hoping to once again catch Charli's lightning in a bottle.

But for the teen, it just simply struck.
