As you will have heard, US President Donald Trump has issued an executive order banning TikTok. At the same time, Oracle is in the process of partnering with the Chinese-owned platform after Microsoftโs initial bid for ownership was soundly rejected. While the future of the digital sensation is currently unclear, one thingโs for certain โ the most prolific accounts are virtually printing money. Hereโs what the highest-earning TikTok personalities are being paid right now.
1. Addison Rae Easterling โ US$5 million
2. Charli DโAmelio โ US$4 million
3. Dixie DโAmelio โ US$2.9 million

4. Loren Gray โ US$2.6 million
5. Josh Richards โ US$1.5 million
6. Michael Le โ US$1.2 million
7. Spencer X โ US$1.2 million
Thatโs quite a bit of $$$ for not a whole lot of actual effort. One does tend to wonderโฆ what in the world will happen to these self-styled โcontent creatorsโ if TikTok does become inaccessible by lawful means in the United States? Transition to similar visual platforms such as YouTube and perhaps even Instagramโs own brand new clone rival โ Reels?
Whatever the case, it seems each and every one of these list entrants has soundly carved out a sizeable following and curated some semblance of a marketable brand. A following and brand which theyโll likely be able to leverage into alternate streams of revenue and perhaps even a long-term career โ in the loosest possible sense of the word. Regardless of whether the rest of us likes it or not.
