See Who Was Named Forbes’ Top-Earning TikTok Stars of 2021

Dixie is not only a TikTok star, but she has also released her own music. She performed last month at iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball with Dixie BTS, Ed Sheeran Lil Nas and X.

With $8.5 Million in earnings, the third spot on the list was taken to Addison Rae

. In the past year alone, the 21-year-old not only posted videos on TikTok but also starred in her first film, He’s all that you need, and signed a multicontract deal for future films with Netflix too. 

Fourth place was a tie between two creators who each took home $5 million: Bella Poarch

and Josh Richards. In addition to her in-app earnings, Bella signed with Warner Records, and her first single, “Build A B-tch,” became a No. 1 hit on the Billboard charts, while Josh launched multiple joint ventures including a podcast called BFFs with Barstool Sports creator Dave Portnoy.  

Tied for fifth place, Kris Collins and Avani Gregg each earned over $4.75 million for their hilarious creative videos. While Kris expanded her video production to YouTube, Avani released her memoir, Backstory: My Life So Far

, in September 2021.

Now, if you need us, we’ll be uploading TikToks hoping to go viral.
