TikTok's highest paid stars
Forbes have released a list of TikTok's seven highest paid stars, and we can't get over it.
The creative video sharing app has become a massive source of income for many.
The outlet estimated the stars' pretax earnings from June 30th 2019 to June 30th 2020.
In order to do this, they spoke to the influencers, agents, managers, marketers and investors.
Forbes said this list focuses on, 'stars native to TikTok,' and therefore doesn't include traditional celebs like Jason Derulo etc.
Here are the seven highest paid users:
1. Addison Rae Easterling
According to the publication, Addison earned $5 million last year alone.
She has a following of 54.1 million people and currently has deals with American Eagle and Spotify.
Addison admitted the app, 'is what got [her] to where [she is].'
